Ulans? Really?

There is nothing to say about this movie- loss of words. Its really bad. Don't waste your time, previous comments explain, why.

There is, however, one thing I have to say about Ulans. They may have Mongolian Origin, as well as Hussars (and polish Hussars- famous Winged Lancers too) have Hungarian, BUT it was typical Polish formation, created in late 18th century, before the Partition of Poland. There were 2 units of Russian Uhlans, some Austrian and even Prussian, however best and most famous were Polish Ulans- famous Chevau-légers lanciers de la Garde impériale or Vistula Lancers- "los infernos picadores", as they were known after the battle of Albuera, and many other units. There were 15 Ulan Regiments in army of Duchy of Warsaw (form of Poland during Napoleonic period, since 1806/7 to 1813) and some Polish Ulan regiments in French army. Much could be written about this wonderful formation. I encourage you to seek information on your own :)
