Well saw AlienVsPredator2 yesterday and during the coming attractions saw the trailer for Hero starring Jet Li. I thought it looked awesome and i was like i can't wait for this to come out. Then my friend said it's been out in Asia for quite some time. Does anybody know if this is on DVD and if so where? Thanks

 

check yesasia.com

but if you speak the language, go to your nearest chinese video rental store, they have pirated copies aplenty

 

the movie is very boring...

 

looked like it was non stop fight scenes maybe too many of them. Are you referring to the storyline

 

yeah its been out for a while. i watched it at my chinese friends house mebe around febuary. either way yeah its on dvd. he got it in china, but you can pick it up from websites, or asian stores.

 

i had it for about a year. you gotta read the subtitles

 

I own this movie too. If your expecting non-stop high-action fight scenes you will be dissappointed. It's more a artsy movie philosophy movie with some action parts. Very well done though. I hope Tarintino does screw it up by editing it.

 

I too hope Tarantino doesn't mess it up like he did "Iron Monkey". Leave the mandarin in, don't dub it with english!!!
Oh yea, u can find Hero on ebay no problem, that's where I got mine.

 

Cool thanks for the tips guys. I might go to some of the chinese food markets around me and inquire about it. Some of them do sell alot of import music and movies. If no luck i'll try ebay.

 

If you use IRC, you can find the version with English subtitles using any of the IRC search engines:

The movie is okay IMO, kind of slow moving but a good mix of action with pseudo-philosophical artsy-farty stuff.
