The latest seen was Lam Suet as Dong Zhou, Keung Ho Man as Zhang Jue. Keung Ho Man sad, "This character looks a little like a sorcerer, so the costume is somewhat different from others. In New Zealand even the production pace seems a little more casual. This time I am very happy to work handsome director Chow Hin Yeung and pretty producer To Chi Long. I sense their passion for film. In addition they take very good care of actors." The film also has Law Kar Ying and Eddie Cheung Siu Fai.

Actually director Chow Hin Yeung and producer To Chi Long insisted on using a lot of Hong Kong actors. "This group are all faces everyone is familiar with. Getting them together for a performance really isn't easy. Some actors work together for the first time, but after this production everyone have become friends."

They even took a helicopter to a glacier and rode horses on the plains, as they guaranteed a Three Kingdoms world that no one has ever seen.
