Yes, he is not a Han.Most main roles are ethnic Mongols. And even the theme song of the Tv series was sung by a famous Mongolian singer. And an other Tv series "Kublai Khan" will be produced due to the success of this one in business. ------------- Who am I? I'm General of Carthage; Eternal biggest enemy of Rome. |

Yeah I must say that I enjoyed watching this series,though they couldve done a better job with the action sequences.It includes most major battles fought until GKs death,except the Euro invasion. Babyblue,I gathered ur from Sydney?Just goto ur local Chinese video store and ask 4 Jengis Khan by CCTV i guess most should have it in stock(think it comes in Mandarin only).Enjoy. |

| Wish I spoke Mandarin so I could watch it. Then again if you know the story I guess you could follow along anyway, even if you don't understand the words. |

Cool pics! I hope that ít will be available in Europe soon Though the armour and equipment look fantasy-inspired rather than historical accurate |

wow, very nice pics...too bad I'm not in China anymore...when I was there I always watched this series with the manchu, it was so entertainign even though I hardly understood anything... for the armour...well, i've bought books in Chna about historical arms and armour, and they depicted the Mongols there just as on the pics posted here...I knew Chinese and Western authors obviously don't agree in the least ont eh appearance of the Mongols... ------------- |

Ooho, looks great, I'm sure I'll watch it when either it's Turkish-translated version is made or when I'll learn Chinese some years later  ------------- [IMG]http://img50.exs.cx/img50/6148/ger3.jpg"> Qaghan of the Vast Steppes http://steppes.proboards23.com - Steppes History Forum |

I think I missed something here. CCTV is a Chinese network,
right? I went to their homepage and all I got was a bunch of
meaningless symbols; I guess I don't have the right Asian font
installed on my computer. At any rate, the pictures look very good, and I look forward to seeing the series, if it is ever broadcast in America. Maybe Bravo or A&E will show it. Here in the US, it seems like there is a law against making a good movie about the Mongols. In the 1960s, there was a Genghis Khan movie starring Omar Sharif with an all-white cast, including an English actor whose name escapes me (he played a badly made-up Chinese emperor). And more recently there was the Marco Polo miniseries that was just a story of intrigue and romance--if you saw it, you wouldn't learn any history whatsoever. ------------- Nothing truly great is achieved through moderation.--Prof. M.A.R.

Don't forget the rubbish film produced by the RKO in 1956 with John Wayne as Gengis Khan!

I recommend you download a software which can make you see the CCTV web,it also can trasfer between different Chinese characters which used in China and Hongkong. http://down1.tyfo.com/down/soft/pc/apply/chinese/web/file/nj win188.exe
when setup, Click the button as the above pic , and you will have many choice. Just try,you will find one choice can make see the characters. ------------- Who am I? I'm General of Carthage; Eternal biggest enemy of Rome. |

I was shocked by the picture. In the Tv series costumes and story were strictly produced. In accord with history. You can see thousands of cavalries attacking on vast grassland.

"Don't forget the rubbish film produced by the RKO in 1956 with John Wayne as Gengis Khan! "I haven't forgotten the Genghis Wayne movie, Noacyl. It regularly appears on lists of the ten worst movies of all time. I just wanted to spare John Wayne's fans a bit of pain.  Now that I think about it, Sir Alec Guiness was the last big-name actor who played somebody of another race and got away with it, right? In the 1985 Oscar-winner "A Passage to India," he was an eccentric Brahman. ------------- Nothing truly great is achieved through moderation.--Prof. M.A.R. Barker |

Wow, cool pics. I especially like the actors and their hair style, although the rest looks like from Xena the warrior princess. I guess the question about mongols being able to grow beards is answered now.

Hi Hannibal
My wife mentioned a small "snafu" with regard to CCCTV broadcasting the Genghis Khan miniseries. This article appeared on the Sept.4.04 issue of SingTao Daily. What happened was TV stations in Chengdu, Harbin and Wuhan broadcasted a pirated and decapitated series of 20 episodes instead of 28 episodes. I still don't understand the 28 episodes , because I have 10 dvd's with 3 episodes each, giving a total of 30 episodes. Can you clarify the discrepancies? By the way, Steve Seagal is planning to make a Genghis Khan movie with him playing Khan, he claimed last year that shooting will begin March of this year in China, however, there was no activity noted. I did mentioned to a friend of Steve, whom I met at Ulan Bataar last year, to pay attention to the 30 episode series put out by China in 2002. r's Clive |

I googled the snafu ,perhaps it's a small company in Beijing who sold the 20 episodes miniseries to those local Tv stations. Maybe the case will be solved through legal proceedings. Originally, the miniseries was 30 episodes, the miniseries which CCTV broadcasting now is an abridged one for they are worrying about something ridiculous. About Steve Seagal,according to the web news,he cancelled his plan for he encountered some difficulties. ------------- Who am I? I'm General of Carthage; Eternal biggest enemy of Rome. |

Hi Hannibal
Thanks for ur reply. Steve would be totally out of place playing Genghis Khan. His withdrawal is a blessing. Can you feel me in on more details about the upcoming kublai khan tv series? thanks and brgds Clive |
