This is a very awkward title. IMDb refers to the film as "Battle on Shangganling Mountain" which I propose is the title this should be moved to (other sites also refer to it as such). I'm not sure but I've also seen one or two sites refer to this as "Heartbreak Ridge" but I need to do more research on it. Tryptofeng04:47, 21 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Huang Jiguang
According what I had read, Huang was actually featured in the movie, though I had not the opportunity to watch it, yet. I would try to get a copy of the DVD sometimes later. Arilang talk06:10, 25 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
He is featured, but the propaganda surrounding him is a separate matter from this film. He was worshiped as a hero long before this film. He was not mentioned when Chinese talking about the "Shangganling Spirit" (上甘岭精神), which is the real propaganda message about this film or this event.
As I said before, he is not the star of the show and he was not made famous for it...if you really need to spam that poster, either create a separate page on him or use a film screenshot. That poster belongs to his own propaganda campaign, not this films. Furthermore, there really is no verifiable evidence that he even exists. 2 of the witnesses was killed in the fighting, the 3rd one was reportedly "under great duty" to repeat his story over and over. No western sourced even bother with him. Jim101 (talk) 04:01, 26 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
