Trouble Maker Posted August 2, 2004 Report Share Posted August 2, 2004 Was just thinking about how people were saying Night sucked and wanted to post about this movie that I'm really looking forward to. The trailer can be seen here since I haven't seen very many trailers or commercials for it. It looks like it's going to be a pretty cool movie. Here's what background on the movie that I could dig up. This movie was originally released in 2002 in China and was produced by the same group that produced Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon. It was also directed by some guy who's really famous in China I guess (Yimou Zhang). Staring Jet Li along with a bunch of other people that are famous martial arts actors/actresses that I don't know. This film was good enough for Quentin Tarantino to ‘fight’ with Miramax to bring it over here. Quentin Tarantino is now ‘presenting’ this movie in the states, whatever that means. I just know as soon as I saw that there was a movie coming out that stared Jet Li and had anything to do with Quentin Tarantino that I was going to have to see it. So if you’re a fan of Kung fu/martial arts movies, Jet Li and/or Quentin Tarantino you'll probably be interested in this movie, I know I am.

Regardless I'll probably take the time and money to see it in a theater. Also, is the current release hard to find and is it a region 1 DVD?

Trouble Maker Posted August 2, 2004 Author Report Share Posted August 2, 2004 Originally posted by Beer Guy: jesse, i have it on vcd. dont know how hard it is to get on our region dvd.Cool, just wondering if they released it for "North American Consumption" yet. I have two DVD players that I can defeat the region on so I could care less if I'm going to buy it (three if you count my rents computer), just curious mainly. If I don't get a chance to get to a nice theater to see it and your not gone yet I'll have to borrow it, or if you've moved already take an image of the VCD(s) for me. graemlins/thumb.gif Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could you host the file somewhere and PM with link? I understand mandarin so I won't have to look at the subs much. tongue.gif Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Ranger_Man Posted August 2, 2004 Report Share Posted August 2, 2004 hero has the same kind of stuff. all true to the style chinese sword play movies will have it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpaceGhost Posted August 3, 2004 Report Share Posted August 3, 2004 I have seen it. It is a very good movie. I watched it on a DVD from China with English subtitles. I hope it does not have voice overs, the subtitles are not annoying. It was cool to hear them talk in their native language. Awesome Colors and very good sound effects, DVD had DTS. The water scene is awesome and the scene with the two chicks fighting and the leaves change color is cool. I think it is the best cinematography I have ever seen in a movie. Now I think I will watch it again tonight! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
