While I'm going to hope and assume this is a trolling attempt, an emancipated slave running into a Gatling gun deployed by the imperial Chinese army suggests time travel.
Death to shakeycam directors!
I'm gonna be a complete moron and assume your question was serious.
No, there isn't any time travel. However, the film does have some elements that appear to be intentionally anachronistic.
Seems like the film is supposed to take place in an alternate universe; kinda like a steampunk movie... only based on 1970's campy Kung-fu action films.
Sometimes fires don't go out when you're done playin' with them.
