The Battle of Nagasaka was divided into two parts. The first time happened in Nagasaka Village. Liu Bei's two wives were killed; the general Zhao Yun rescued Liu Bei's youngest son, A Dou. The second time happened on Changban Slope. The generals Guan Yu and Zhang Fei resisted the enemy soldiers while covering the retreat of the common people. In order to play the general Zhao Zilong, Hu Jun trained with action director Lin Dian for several months, and finally made his body and physique in the best state before the filming started. However, the strong physical requirements finally caused Hu Jun's spinal injury to recur, and he was forced to withdraw from the injury for a whole month. When the battle of Nagasaka was launched for the second time, the action director had been replaced by Yuan Kui. This is Won Kyu's second collaboration with John Woo. After more than 30 years, the two cooperated again, still very tacit understanding. A lot of the action details were first designed on paper by John Woo, and Yuan Kui always showed it precisely and beautifully. Although the filming process was extremely difficult, the tacit cooperation between the two made everything go very smoothly.
