However, I think this trailer has REALLY caught on..
Audiably speaking, at least nights Kill Bill showing.

when they said "from the producers of crouching tiger", someone said out loud "no shit" i wonder if tarantino and miramax will simplify the subs, and put the opening and ending in english.

the colors looked washed out where I saw it tonight - I hope it was just the trailer. I remember it being much more vibrant. The voiceover on the trailer for Hero was a bunch of nonsense... It didn't even sound like the same movie - and they gave away the ending.

That said, I saw it again, on a bigger screen, and the color wasn't quite as bold - so I guess it varies print to print.

And you might want to check out HKFLIX.com since they don't sell bootlegs. They have 3 versions of HERO on DVD, all out-of-print (at least legally in the U.S., thanks Disney)
HERO [2002] [CHINESE DD5.1 VERSION]
http://www.hkflix.com/xq/asp/filmID....qx/details.htm
HERO [2002] [CHINESE DTS VERSION]
http://www.hkflix.com/xq/asp/filmID....qx/details.htm
HERO [2002] [HK 2-DISC SET]
http://www.hkflix.com/xq/asp/filmID....qx/details.htm
All are still 98 minutes
EDIT: HKFLIX reports the 2-disc set as a DVD, but asiandiscs.com has it as a VCD.

There's a site that compared the two. I think it said R2 had a sharper image, but R3 had better sound. I have the R3 and I'm perfectly happy wth it until I can find the director's cut.

Hero, on the other hand, not only put the visuals in Crouching Tiger to shame, but the plot, reminiscent of Kurosawa's Rashomon, held my interest the entire time. The characters and their relationships were also adequately explained that I felt connected to them. I keep calling this film, "The film Crouching Tiger should have been," and I mean it. If Crouching Tiger had been as well made as Hero, it would have deserved all the praise and money heaped on it.

Yeah, the trailer managed to misrepresent the film while also giving away the ending. I remember seeing a German trailer that had no dialogue at all. That's the trailer that made me know I had to see the film. I'm really glad I saw the film before I saw this American trailer.

As i was watching the trailer I thought, man, is this the same movie I saw? A gross misrepresentation in showing Li as the total star, selling it as an action movie and they give away HUGE spoilers from the movie.
