I believe that QT convinced Miramax about bringin the film from Hong Kong to the States. I'm not sure how it happen, but QT help promote the film here in America. I think he is consider producer (as in advertising the film) of the film.
Awesome! No one I have ever talked to has even HEARD of Iron Monkey.
QT was just responsible for bringing it to the states. He was on Jimmy Kimmel Live not too long ago, right before Hero came out here, discussing Kung Fu movies. He said that he watches a lot of martial arts films, and the ones that he thinks will do well here, he discuess with Miramax. Then he slaps his name on the top so that all the QT fans will be sure to see em.
I think its awesome. Iron Monkey and Hero were both good movies. Although I saw both movies before they made it here, I was glad that they did. Exposes more people to the films.

i think movies like this would have been out in the asian communities long ago... like many other Asian movies ive seen like years earlier. They are just now making its way to the rest of the cinemas or available the other members of the public
I actually just picked this up a few days ago along with Hero also, but haven't had a chance to watch either one yet....I'd heard alot about Iron Monkey so I figured I'd get it.
