Hero

What part does QT have in the making of this movie? It is a Jet Li movie that there was a trailer for when I saw Vol 2. It started out by saying "In association with Quentin Tarantino" or something to that extent, but it never says what he did for the movie. Anybody have info?

dunno myth, sorry

maybe a producer

Just found out what was meant by "Presented by Quentin Tarantino". Hero is made in and for China but QT liked it so much, that he is paying for it to be released in the US.

I think he areed to "present" the film, and attach the trailer to Kill Bill Vol. 2, if Miramax would release it here in the states.

BTW, I have the Chinese DVD.
Does anyone happen to know what it says at the begining of the movie? Subtitles do not translate that part.

Hero Teaser

This Movie looks like a blockbuster... But I am Confused beacsue Jet Lee is in it and its presented by Tarantino... 😕

It's been released a few years ago in Asia, you could probably get it on a Region 3 or 4 DVD right now if you wanted; Taratino is in charge of localization, if you will, to the United States and other english speaking countries, so this movie is not so new after all.

tarantino is the name behind the success... or the flop to be. but if QT put his name on it, there is a pretty good chance that the movie would kick a$$... who knows, pai mei might make an apperance, that would be cool....

Pai Mei isnt in it. The movie is pretty good, but some parts drag out a little too long for my tastes.

The original title is Ying Xiong. Hero is a movie that was done in 2002 and it was directed by Yimou Zhang. The reason QT is in the title is because he is responsible for introducing the film to the American audiences. Is kinda like Iron Monkey. QT wasn't the director but kinda like a producer of the film. Thanks to him marketing the film we were able to see here in the US.

Tarantino had nothing to do with this film directing or production-wise. Miramax has had distribution rights to Hero since 2002 and they've been sitting on this movie forever. The only reason Tarantino's name is on this film is because Miramax knows he has a fan-base out there and a lot of ignorant people will most likely make the mistake of thinking Tarantino was somehow involved in the making of this film. I've had Hero on DVD for over a year now but I'm still looking forward to seeing it on the big screen.

khan told me about hero months ago and I thought it was out..I looked every where for it and then all of a sudden there was the trailer for it when I seen kill bill...I really can't wait to see this movie.

I've heard of this film, i heard it few months back, they had a trailer on one of those ''free trailer DVD's'' you get with the magazine...looks good.👆

Yeah, AND because he begged Miramax for years to release it untouched. So technically it is being introduced to American audiences by him. But you are right - most of my friends figured he directed it, too.

Jet Lee = 40 strings

did anyone see the previews it stars jet li and its directed by quentin tarintino

yeah i saw it...looks nice but...two things i noticed

1st of all what the hell is up with hero's blade? i dont remember anything about asian swords being hollowed in the middle...

2nd of all why are there guys with shields?...i cant think of one martial art that uses shields other than european styles...

my only question is when does it open in the US?

Its not directed by QT. Its "presented by" QT meaning that he is responsible for bringing it to US theaters. However, this does mean its probably good if its backed by QT.

i have seen it and own it, its ****ing great
jet li,donnie yen,Maggie Cheung and Zhang Ziyi

btw TrAnCeDuO there are a few fighting tecs with shield
