Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe role of the Little (Young) Soldier was originally written for Jackie Chan, who came up with the idea of the story Little Big Soldier twenty years ago. However, it took twenty years to wrap up the script, and now Jackie Chan was cast as the Big (elder) Soldier instead. Leehom Wang took the role of Little (young) Soldier.
- GoofsApproximately 55 minutes into film you can see cacti on the tops of & growing alongside the ruined town walls. Cacti are not native to China and were only introduced in the 1800's AD. The story line would coincide with approximately 300BC. A difference of almost 2000 years.
- Quotes
The Soldier: I forgot to tell you, the reward for capturing a live enemy general is land, cash, and exemption from military service. Exemption from military service for life! Only tilling land. No need to go to war.
the General: There's always a victor in a war. Only when the victor has unified the world will there be true peace so little men like you can lead a regular life.
The Soldier: You know what? If you hadn't gone to war with us, I could have been living this life right now!

Well, having seen Jackie as the titular character, I have no complaints. He provides the role with its requisite charm and experience that it is so easy to root for him. A refreshing change from nonsensical comedies like "The Spy Next Door", I may add.
Jackie plays an unnamed soldier from the Liang State who survives an ambush by Qin forces that decimates the 2000-strong Liang army. The lowly soldier, who feigns death rather than fight, captures a young Wei general (Wang Leehom) and plans to 'trade' him for a plot of land as reward.
Along the way, however, captor and captive face a host of mishaps, misadventures and plot twists - and they have to team up in order to survive.
As Jackie's own project, you can be sure of the trademark Jackie stunts and image boosts. Playing a farmer forcibly conscripted into war, Jackie's message (or ego massage) is that war is bad for the people, birds and the environment. He throws in lots of slapstick and sometimes the comedy borders on the ridiculous.
Still, these are forgivable because it is easy to like Jackie's and LeeHom's characters. They have a sparkling screen chemistry that helps us overlook the plot-holes and lapses in logic. What's more important is that "Little Big Soldier" has a nostalgic feel, reminding us of Jackie's classics like "Drunken Master" and "Snake In The Eagle's Shadow". - By LIM CHANG MOH (limchangmoh.blogspot.com)
