Red Cliff (Chinese: 赤壁; pinyin: Chìbì), alternatively known as The Battle of Red Cliff, is a Chinese epic film based on the Battle of Red Cliffs and events during the End of Han Dynasty and immediately prior to the period of the Three Kingdoms in ancient China. The film is expected to be released in two versions: within Asia, Red Cliff is to be released in two parts totaling over four hours in length, with the first part premiering in July 2008 and the second in January 2009.[1] Outside of Asia, a single 2½ hour film will be released in January 2009.[1]
The film is directed by John Woo and stars Tony Leung Chiu-Wai, Takeshi Kaneshiro, Zhang Fengyi, Chang Chen, Hu Jun, Lin Chi-ling and Zhao Wei. With an estimated budget of US$80 million, Red Cliff is the most expensive Asian-financed film to date.[3]
This film is one of the two 2008 Three Kingdoms related films, the other being Daniel Lee’s Three Kingdoms: Resurrection of the Dragon which has already been released.

Thanks for sharing this great movie Viet. I watched this movie twice and loved it.
Thanks
thanks for sharing this great movie, watched it with family last night and we all loved it and can’t wait for the 2nd part! hope you could also share the 2nd part when it comes out… thanks again!
Dang Pokute, you really are a A$$ to that Guy. I downloaded the movies he put here and I like the way they are done. You are the one who needs the attitude adjustment. And I don’t see any movies of yours here. You really have a problem, you should Pokute a tree or something, I can’t beleive the site owner lets you talk to people like that and who give stuffs here.
Viet You do a Wonderful Job and it is not your fault one got by you. But It really is a shame, I see all this wanting and criticism as if you are peoples personal Blockbuster. I don’t see much giving back here, just complaints, and when I made a offer to give an alternative, I get rude remarks, I wish you the best Viet. I deleted the fixed version of Red Cliff, I figure pokute can offer a better alternative. I have 2,300 Asian movies to take care of and 3 of my own sites to worry about than to have to deal with nonsense. Take care V live long and prosper.
I stand by what I uploaded. Most of the time, they are of good quality, as I take them from a couple of sources, and the providers KNOW what they are doing, believe me. Of course, there are very few exceptions, for example, I post it too fast, they didn’t have enough time to do QC and nuke the bad rip, etc.
W/ regard to audio/video, below is the spec. Try them:
Video Codec ……: XviD
Video Quality ….: 1201 kb/s
Resolution …….: 672X272
Audio Bitrate ….: 192 kbps
Audio Codec ……: AC3 (2.0)
Framerate ……..: 25 fps (PAL)
Toxist, I didn’t hear any voice neither. What Special Codec’s and Player do I need to hear it?
And Viet it’s nice if you can upload the rmvb version
Thanks
I’m okay now after download the XVID MPEG-4 (XVID)codec
Again thank for sharing Viet.
Hello Viet,
I tried to play these avi files on both Real Player and Windows Media but they won’t work, no video at all.
Can you tell me how to play these clips? Or can you post the rmvb version like the 3 Kingdoms one please.
Thanks for sharing Viet

What a great movie!!! Absolutely love it, Thank you for uploading.
ONE series that I worked on has 46,000 downloads (of the COMPLETE series - so that’s more than half-a-million files) to date. I think you need to grow some common sense AND humility.
Arghh yes you are correct my error, I was tired when I wrote that, I re-encoded it to 624 x 352 and have (so far) 58 compliments.
Tks for the correction in #’s But I would never agree to a 272 scale. Unless you have eyes of a Hawk or a Super Huge monitor. Another reason for the 624 x 352 is that when converted to Rmvb it produces a Smaller file. And the Quality seems to be at its Best in that Particular Format. But the Whole point is, it is Much more versatile and accommodating for more users. And thats the main point, Sharing and Caring.
Tks again for spotting my misprint.
And 127,000 Downloads prove I Care. and with 1,652 movies at present, Rmvb format is the Logical choice, either that or 5TB’s of Hard Drive LOL
@Toxist - It was encoded at 672×272 - Both of which are multiples of 16 as they should be (The real question is why scale at all?). Your idea of re-encoding it to 654×364 makes no sense at all, and is just plain wrong.
The encode provided here is excellent - The only gripe anyone could have with it is that it has been sped-up to 25 fps.
Oh and You Can’t Hear it because it is encoded in ACC 5.1 Dolby, which means most PC Video players can’t Play it. You would need Special Codec’s and Player.
Because the person who encoded it did it in Xvid ISO Mpeg4 762×275 is made For itunes or Play station I have finished re-encoding and Joining it to Rmvb Format to 654 x 364 at 750Mb this will Play Nice on a PC or covert to DVD via VSO converter. I will send the Link to Viet to add option to his post.
how come I hear no voice at all?

This is Hard Sub in English But…. It is 672×275 1.3Gb Gads I hate those Skinny Wide Screen movies.
I am Busy Re-encoding it to 720×480 for a More enjoyable viewing experience. As I did in 3 Kingdoms. If I then Convert it to Rmvb then it should be around 600-800 MB with Excellent quality. If you care to have the Final Re-encode, Let Viet Know and I will Pass it over to add as an option. But you must let Viet know.
Thanks to Viet for making this Available.!
sorry, i guess I was not clear earlier. it’s in english. since i don’t understand chinese, i never post any chinese sub, either soft or hard sub.
Hi, is the hardsub chinese, english or both?
thanks for sharing
it’s hard-subbed already.
wow! out so fast?! guess i’ll wait for the hardsubs, then! thanks, Viet. i love alan’s song in the OST. <3
Sorry, forget to say THANKS, BIG THANKS to Viet..
you are simply the best…
Well, those who already read the Three Kingdoms would be a little bit disapointed. The story understandably was modified or rather to get closer to “history”, I guess.
However as fa as a movie is concerned, this is quite a production. The digital effect and manipulation are above average and a litle bit over the top.
Red Cliff is the most famous battle between CaoCao and East Wu…
This first part is intendedly an introduction of all main players in the comming real Red Cliff naval batte, where fire power was a decisive strategy..
The cinematography is quite good. Histtorical costumes are amazing. I long to see the real Red Cliff Naval Battle in the second part…
Uhmmmm 2009!!! Can’t wait…
