Re:: hero.

OK hope this clears some things up on this thread...This is off of imdb


Miramax originally acquired the U.S. distribution rights in 2002 after the film's huge success in Asia. The film never materialized. Unable to find an official U.S. version, the film has gained a cult following in the States via "official" copies of the DVD from other countries.


Miramax, the distributor, apparently cut out 20 minutes from the movie because they found that part to be "too Asian and confusing" for western audiences. Then-Miramax honcho Harvey Weinstein made a deal with Quentin Tarantino that he'd release the film uncut if Tarantino would allow a "Quentin Tarantino Presents" tag at the beginning of the film. Tarantino agreed.

Please stop saying that Tarantino made this movie. He might have kicked Weinstein's ass into finally releasing it but that about all he did. Zhang Yimou is an important Asian filmmaker and you guys should do yourselves a favor and check out some of his other movies. "Raise the Red Lantern" immediately comes to mind.
Check out a small dvd distributor in Florida specializing in Asian movies, YumYumAnime.com. I love me some chop socky.

ahhh, see , I was under the impression Taratino directed it, but i was also surprised that it came out so soon after the Kill Bills, didnt seem like he had time to do another movie. Thanks for clearing that up!
