Jet Li's Hero Special Edition 09/15/09

Miramax/Buena Vista announces: Hero-Special Edition, both Standard & Blue, I wonder what special features they are adding.

I enjoyed this movie when I first saw it, yet never got around to picking it up. I'm up for the Blu release...

I certainly hope it isn't the original longer cut. Here is one instance where the original director's cut was worse than the truncated version.

is this necessary? Buena Vista needs to release SE edition of other titles instead.

I believe Weinsteins own the extended cut, now would be the perfect time for them to unleash a Dragon Dynasty: Hero: Extended Ultimate Edition

Actually, I believe they will call it "Legend of the Hero: Extended Ultimate Edition." Just because that's what they do.

I just hope we get a Quentin Tarantino commentary track.

I just hope they keep the DTS track.

The audio in the fight between Maggie Cheung and Ziyi Zhang is... "O-face" sound.

I have 3 copies of this:

1) 2-disc Region 3 Edko films
2) 1-disc Miramax
3) 1-disc Director's Cut from China in the thick Red Case.

Not buying this title again.

I'm definitely buying this again (even though I own two versions of the DVD), but on Blu-ray. This movie should really benefit from high definition as long as they do a good job on the transfer. There's so much eye candy on display.

yeah, I think I'll read the reviews around the time this gets released before I plunk down my money.

Hopefully the SD-DVD keeps the DTS and gets a decent transfer this time around. An absolutely beautifully filmed movie, that looks like hell on DVD.

Does anyone know about the Legend of the Drunken Master Blu Ray? Is this version of Drunken Master 2 going to actually have the original audio/english subtitles? Or still be the dubbed version?
