Big In The Burgh 1

It was made in 1965 folks. Lighten up. Can anyone name any English speaking Mongolian actors who were alive in the early 1960's who could have played the lead? Omar Sharif, Stephen Boyd, Eli Wallach and others were top stars at the time and under contract to the studios that made these movies. It was Saturday afternoon at the movies entertainment, not the History Channel. - @Sunday, July 12, 2015 6:55 PM

@el6caballo6oscuro6 The BBC documentary is available on the youtube.com. Really fascinating film made by the BBC. However, I would express my disgust that only Chengez Khan is being glorified and filmed frequently. What about Hulego Khan, his grandson, who destroyed almost half of the Arab world? - @Thursday, October 13, 2011 6:21 PM

@kontragerilla The bombs were made for the first time during the reign of Chengez Khan by the Chinese. However, it is also revealed that the gun powder was used in the canons by the Arabs even during late 12th c AD ! - @Thursday, October 13, 2011 6:20 PM

@alam1956 I believe we should all be grateful his grandson died then before he reached the rest of the entire continent of Europe. After the french army had been defeated there was not much left to resist the Khans armies. In all fairness, I do agree with you on the fact that Genghis is glorified to enourmous proprtions. But he was forged after living a young life close to death every day. Why he keept on going after avenging his mongols is a mystery, I guess some are simply born to slaughter... - @Thursday, October 13, 2011 1:24 PM

Robert Morley as Emperor of China !!! You CANNOT get more authentic than that !!!!! Believe you me :) - @Tuesday, March 8, 2011 9:02 AM

Some important aspects about death and destruction of Khwarizm, Lahore and Iran are missing in this film. Perhaps intentionally avoided to glorify Changez Khan, the bloody. He and his grandson, Hulego, destroyed Muslim world in such a way that the entire Muslim world is still bearing the brunt of their cruelties, though most of his men embraced Islam! - @Thursday, January 20, 2011 5:12 PM

Unforgettable movie. - @Thursday, August 19, 2010 5:31 AM

yeah, they had gun powder at the time - but the film itself it's highly dramatised (and in some places, totally fictionalised). A great classic movie though, but I reccomend the BBC documentary if you want to know more about what really happend lol - @Wednesday, August 4, 2010 3:06 PM
