Tatars
Real ones, apparently. In traditional costume. The song, less so.
G.K. and the boys of Subatai's 10th Tatar Tuman are probably rolling over in their grave.
I suppose I should dedicate this post to Jack's family. maybe not.

Genghis Khan again...
... No one can get enough of the Great Khan.
But really, picking John Wayne or Richard Tyson to play the great Asian warlord is almost as stupid as ... as.. well, picking an Arab who got his start in Egyptian soap-operas.
little Mr Miggs could do it better!

Return of the "Conqueror"
Anybody out their remember "The Conqueror" - it was about Genghis Khan, played by John Wayne and a cast of hundreds, most of whom died of cancer. It was filmed on an atomic bomb testing site. It also won the Golden Turkey award for really awful movies.
Now someone seems to want to repeat the experience.
minus the a-bombs, one would hope
