While many of the same characters and plot twists are maintained, a few smaller occurrences are left out. Filmed under communist Chinese censorship, some portions of Clavell's story were considered too offensive to be filmed as written and considerable changes were made. ## Credits - **Director:** [Daryl Duke](https://cinepixo.com/people/daryl-duke) - **Screenplay:** [John Briley](https://cinepixo.com/people/john-briley) - **Original Music Composer:** [Maurice Jarre](https://cinepixo.com/people/maurice-jarre) - **Producer:** [Dino De Laurentiis](https://cinepixo.com/people/dino-de-laurentiis), [Raffaella De Laurentiis](https://cinepixo.com/people/raffaella-de-laurentiis) - **Director of Photography:** [Jack Cardiff](https://cinepixo.com/people/jack-cardiff) - **Editor:** [Antony Gibbs](https://cinepixo.com/people/antony-gibbs) ## Cast - [Bryan Brown](https://cinepixo.com/people/bryan-brown) as Dirk Struan - [Tim Guinee](https://cinepixo.com/people/tim-guinee) - [Russell Wong](https://cinepixo.com/people/russell-wong) as Gordon Chen - [Janine Turner](https://cinepixo.com/people/janine-turner) - [Lisa Lu](https://cinepixo.com/people/lisa-lu) - [Kyra Sedgwick](https://cinepixo.com/people/kyra-sedgwick) as Tess Struan - [Joan Chen](https://cinepixo.com/people/joan-chen) ## Criticism on CinePixo No reviews published yet.
