Looks like its a combination of Matrix + Courching Tiger, Hidden Dragon and Kill Bill.

seen it... its pretty good for an asian movie... i think its the biggest budgeted asian movie...

 

[dark`secrets]

is this a remake?
or is it just realised to a wider audience now?
cos im pretty sure there was already a movie called "HERO".
meh i might be wrong. *shudders*

 

[Orange Juice]

the one ive got on dvd, is with jet li so im assuming its the same one... didnt know tarentino has anything to do with it...

 

[Jago]

from the trailer it looks very similar. besides, Hero was out in 2002. It was produced with some asian guy as the director, with strong possiblities of communist propagenda. Quentin probably added 2-3 minutes and claimed it as his own...

Edit: I fail to see where Quentin fits in here...

This was my Number 3 pick for Foreign Language Film, after "Nowhere In Africa" from Germany, and Devdas from India.

Hero - is a classic remake of the tale of the assasin and the first emperor of china.

This one is the biggest budget i think up to now, but there have been many before it, although this is more a case of storyline rather than fighting scenes.

its a 2002/2003 film which is finally hitting our shores. it was going to be dvd only for a while but they have gone the cinema route. ive been wating for a while for this one

this is old ... ...

oh well ... i'll watch it again ...

 

[Ingsoc]

"SHIT" movie sums it up

 

[RCMasterAA]

I think the only thing Tarantino has to do with it is that the movie itself influenced his direction in Kill Bill.

 

[Saul]

you guys are all wrong with tarentino... what happened is this, he was campaigning for hero to be brought to western shores, and in order to do so they said that he had to 'present' it... he didn't really do anything, they just shoved his name on the front.

 

[Orange Juice]

are they planning to dub it or show it in subtitles?

 

[pc_wizz]

i want subtitles ... cause dubbing is just lame ... :uhhuh:

 

[Orange Juice]

yeh the whole un -lipsync think pissed me off

 

[pc_wizz]

argh ... talkin about un-lipsync ... i just watched tenshin with dubs ... argh so annoying .. >.<

 

[Cicciolina]

Meh, I didn't really like it. I mean it's absolutely gorgeous to look out - just wow, really stunning, but the plot just isn't very interesting.

 

[troika]

plus Jet Li as the lead? im turned off already..

 

[Saul]

jet li is only shit in his english movies.

 

[lengstar]

i absolutely loved the movie when i came out, it was really interesting. 9/10. they are just releasing it to the western audience, nothing's changed its still HERO.
