at least its not as generic as The Legend
or "Twin Warriors" or "The Enforcer" or "The Protector"
But damn...that cover makes the movie look like some generic direct to video garbage.
BTW, how is "Hitman"?...i have been meaning to pick it up.

Is there a reason why BV doesn't release a single Jet Li title in Cantonese? Do they not have the language rights or would they rather waste money on creating an awful dub?

To be honest "Contract Killer" isnt terribly different than "Hitman"
While "Hitman" does sound much better than CK, it could be much much worse...it could have been named
"Dragon Assassin"
"Hired Assassin"
"Jet Li's The Contract Killer"
"Legend of the Contract Killer"
"Crouching Assassin, Hidden Killer"
Or any other various made up titles that some VP comes up with.

Anyway, the title change is indeed very lame. I really don't see the point in these name changes - but obviously someone out there feels the titles need to be changed for J6P's interest to be piqued. Sigh.

The smoking and blasphemy references were from a thread in Movie Talk that's about some nut and his crazy movie reviews on IMDB... anyway - I haven't even gotten around to watching Kids from Shaolin, but I love Dr. Wai and Last Hero.
