To be clear, it was the Boxers who did the "intervention." The Qing government wasn't defending China, so they created a mass uprising to exterminate all foreigners and Chinese Christians. Herbert Hoover an American engineer working for the Chinese, had to flee with his wife Lou to Tientsin, where they helped defend the city. Lou Henry Hoover is, as far as I can tell, still the only American First Lady who was an actual combat veteran.

The entire thing was a nuts! Qing Dynasty declared war against the world -- by attacking embassies at its own capital with a bunch of boxers (instead of regular army...btw Qing didn't had modern nationalized army yet back to this age ), just showed how ignorant and fool the Qing's regime was .

All these with clear mind knew that only given the Western imperialism a perfect excuse to carve up China.On the other hands, it also showed how desperate that invading by Western imperialism, forced to cede lands and signed unequal treaties, let the foreign army into Qing's capital since 1840 the first Opium War. That laid the background of the raising of extreme national sentiments and hatred against Western in some parts of China, and end up with entire China fallen into the hand of Chinese Communist Party , which raised the flag of nationalism, in 1949.
The Qing had modern regiments. For some odd reason of history most were Muslim. But the Empress and her court were slow playing the situation, relying on the Boxers to seize the Legations for them, and surround Seymore's Expedition. Which is why the Taku forts were manned, but Chinese navy never sortied, and the army sat out most of the attacks on both forces.
@@RickSmith-c1gthe empress was opposed to the boxers but they were supported by many of the Manchu aristocracy. That put the empress in a very difficult position. She made sure that the legation was surrounded by imperial troops which she had control over,and not boxers which she had no control over. The empress knew that China had to get along with the western world,but the boxers were relentless xenophobes who wanted all foreigners out of China.
Add to that President McKinley's open door policy for China that infuriated the German Kaiser so much that he had plans drawn up to invade the US east coast with a large army after the high seas fleet had destroyed the US navy.

I think it was just a shock value thing. The Boxer with the sword expected Lewis to strike him but he turned the tables around. Movie was filmed in 1963 so interesting to see some actual weaponry/Chinese Boxing/Kung Fu on film.
Agree with 1st reply - the Qing prince was making out there was no way a Westerner could hurt a Boxer, but instead of cutting at the Boxer, he thrusted, thus taking him by surprise and helpless

Its not racist... it was simple because at this time their were no chinese actors in the west. China was poor, underdeveloped and closed to foreign powers. So the filmmakers could not use native actors, they must improvise. Not everything is racist, because it looks so... sometime its a good idea to see the world and political situation in the time were the films were created before condemn them as racists. You can not value a historical event, products, etc without knowing the historical context of it. And you can not value historical action with modern morale. If you do so, ever people in the past, even the open-minded, cosmopolitan and unbiased people in the past are with current morale and ethical values were rassists as hell. If you want to critisize someone in the past, you must evaluate him, with the ethics and morale of the time he lived in. Or do you want to condemed for an action you did in the past and which was not criminal. But with new laws years later it is criminal... was your action criminal or not? It was not... because at the time you did it, it was not criminal and legal. You can not condemn someone retrospectively for actions which were not illegal while they did them. If the government increases the fine for speeding from 20 to 50 EUR... the government can not demand the money from further speeding, only from current and future speeding drivers.
