The 18 Warriors Of The North ~ Full Movie ~ English Subtitles ~ War/Action/History

18 fictional heroes from legends living in the Sui dynasty and early Tang dynasty. The concept of 18 Warriors was first mentioned in the traditional historical novel Shuo Tang. The warriors' rankings were based on their skills in martial arts as well as their physical strength. Some of them have historical archetypes such as Qin Shubao and Shan Xiongxin, while others are created by authors of folk stories such as Luo Cheng and Yuwen Chengdu. In the Shuo Tang, Li Yuanba (李元霸) is definitely the most powerful and skillful warrior in his time. He is the fourth son of Li Yuan(李渊), the founder of the Tang dynasty. He has a superb physical strength, which can be illustrated by his weapons: a pair of golden hammers with the weight of 400 jin(236.1 kg) each. With his help, Li Yuan not only defeated Turks, but also easily occupied the capital city Chang'an after his rebellion. However, Li Yuanba is not smart, sometimes even stupid. His teacher told him never to kill anyone using a Golden-Tang (a spades-like weapon) during a battle. However, Li Yuanba killed Wu Tianxi and Yuwen Chengdu, both of whom used Golden-Tangs, in two separate battles. After killing Yuwen Chengdu, Li Yuanba was trapped in a thunderstorm. He was annoyed by the lightning and thunders, so he threw up his heavy hammers to beat the sky. When the hammer fell back to the ground, Li Yuanba was hit. He died under his own weapon
