In Wu Shu, the shield is one of the 18 military weapons, falling under the short weapons. This stemming from a little thing called the Song Dynasty? Maybe you've heard of it?
Anycrap, shields were being used by the Yamato as far back as 297 A.D. and here's your proof, so you can relax..

thanx man i owe you
it is a good movie, but quentin tarantino didnt direct it if thats wut u meant by "its a quentin tarantino" film. Although the commercials say that it was "Directed by Quentin Tarantino", I think that it's just a marketing scheme, cuz it should really say "Presented by Quentin Tarantino". From what i understand, he payed for the distribution of the movie into theaters of english speaking countries because he really liked the film.

QT didn't direct it, so hes not adding any western influence into it. To answer your question I would have to spoil most of the main storyline for you, including the ending.
I suspect that HERO will be presented just like CROUCHING TIGER HIDDEN DRAGON: in it's original undubbed mandarin version with english subtitles. If you really cant wait to see it, all you have to do is mosy on down to your local Chinese Video store (if you have Chinatowns in your area, you should start there) and pick up HERO for 5$ to 10$ a pop depending on if u want the DVD or VCD. Make sure to ask if they have english subtitles tho
