For those of you who are interest in a higher quality transfer of the movie, look no further than the just released R3 Hong Kong edition. In here, http://avbuzz.htfriends.net/so/hkhero/hkhero.htm

Cantonese is a Chinese dialect.... ho hum...
I wouldn't mind a cantonese dub on it. But, as people have pointed out to me the original language/dub is Mandarin.
Even so, Tony Leung's voice is dubbed into Mandarin for the movie.
Blah Blah Blah.. Whatever...

So I can watch the movie without reading the subtitles. Not everyone understands Mandarin.

If the HK disc doesn't have a Cantonese track, it's doubtful any of them will. However, Miramax will most likely provide an English dub when they release the R1 DVD.

An English dub on a HK disc is not unheard of. The original CTHD R3 DVD has both Cantonese and English dubs.
However, in the case of HERO, it appears that neither are on the HK DVD. www.dddhouse.com , www.dvdshelf.com , www.hivizone.com , and www.sensasian.com all show Mandarin as the only language track on the recently released R3 2-disc version.
