Besides Detective Dee (Di Ren Jie 狄仁杰), there are several other detective judges in ancient China. One of them is called Justice Bao 包拯. He was also a legendary Chinese magistrate like Judge Dee but from the Sung dynasty. He is renowned for his sharp intellect and unwavering commitment to justice. He was rumoured to have distinctive physical features: dark skin with a crescent mark on his forehead.
The legend has inspired numerous cinematic adaptations. While these films may not adhere strictly to historical accuracy, they captivate audiences with their engaging plots and good production quality. Here are six notable movies with English subtitles featuring Justice Bao:
Justice Bao and the Tian Chang Case
Justice Bao and the Duan Zhou Case
Justice Bao and the Empty Tomb
Justice Bao and the Myth of Zhan Zhao
Judge Bao: Academy Intrigue
Justice Bao and the Missing Envoy Case
