No. But I’ve read that a chunk of Chinese money went into making this movie. That’s the down-side.

The up-side is that the Americans still win the battle!

I read the Wall Street Journal article that talked about the Chinese financing this movie. I guess I didn’t see the propaganda angle in the movie as was suggested on another thread about the movie.

From what I gathered from the article..... The Chinese hated (hate) the Japanese so the Doolittle raid was added? The article also states that edits were made to the movie for release in China to remove parts where subordinates questioned superiors.

According to the article, Hollywood wouldn’t back this film.
