YMMV / Arrow: The Ultimate Weapon

Go To

  • Complete Monster:
    • Prince Dorgon, the leader of the Manchu forces, leads his men on a brutal campaign through Korea as they slaughter and burn whatever they encounter. After having a village put to the sword, Dorgon has the women abducted and made to travel with his personal company. Each night, Dorgon selects a different women to force himself on, until the heroine is the last one left. Dorgon enjoys a game of making them submit to him "willingly" and attempts to starve her into submission.
    • The nameless Manchu commander, blind in one eye, shows himself as a sadistic brute who loves to subjugate and murder the Korean people. Unlike his rather noble superior Jyuushinta (Dorgon's battlefield commander), the commander delights in killing his victims and gathers a group of civilians heedless of age or gender, promising them they can return to their homes. After having them run, he sends his men on horseback to butcher all of them while he looks on with amusement.
  • Rooting for the Empire: Some might empathize with Jyuushinta and his hunt for Nam-Yi; he clearly cares for his comrades and is incredibly loyal to his country, and here's Nam-Yi, killing these folks left and right for one girl, as Jyuushinta puts it. You can't blame the guy for being a little pissed. The fact that he is quite the badass himself makes him even more appealing.
  • Special Effect Failure: While most of the film's effects aren't too bad, the tiger that saves Nam-yi from the Manchu is a very obvious CGI model.
