People have been doing this for years...even George Romer brought Godzilla King of the Monsters into American theaters and just shot some extra scenes with Raymond Burr

Donners · 09-01-2004, 02:46 PM

well, its one hell of a good movie. one of my favs

Manowar · 09-01-2004, 02:47 PM

Licensing can make you shitloads if you do it right

eroswebmaster · 09-01-2004, 02:48 PM

Stone did it with El Mariachi...look how that turned out.

McKracken · 09-01-2004, 02:49 PM

Yeah I guess with his name after Kill Bill it was perfect as it seemed miramax had fucked itself over with their ASIA/Europe release of it 2 years ago...

one visually beautiful movie!

Vitasoy · 09-01-2004, 02:49 PM

Hes a smart one. It was well hyped back in china.

adamneve · 09-01-2004, 03:09 PM

nobody like him

Doctor Dre · 09-01-2004, 03:11 PM

Good for him ... and yes he's a fucking genious

yeah kinda cool making his money back the first weekend

SykkBoy · 09-01-2004, 03:21 PM

Actually, I thought he did the "Tarantino Presents" thing as a favor to Weinstein?

The reason the movie did so well is most didn't know it was subtitled.

I saw the movie on DVD last year thanks to a region-free DVD player and loved it but wonder how many people stormed out of the theater complaining about having toread subtitles....

I'm hoping that this REALLY opens the floodagtes for Asian films to get better distribution in the US.

Too bad Mirimax fucked up one of the best Asian films I've seen in awhile in "Shaolin Soccer" with a weak distribution plan and poor advertising.

liquidmoe · 09-01-2004, 04:03 PM

Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon was also subtitled and alot of people didnt expect that, but even when they were surprised by it I dont think too many of them were really that pissed off by it.

Project-Shadow · 09-01-2004, 04:11 PM

Jet Li has some good films .. and just putting the name Tarantino on a box will make anyone buy it.

I haven't seen it yet but here it is a great flick...one reason I didn't see it is because it looked like a hyped up Disney flick like Mighty Ducks or something.

V_RocKs · 09-01-2004, 04:15 PM

I liked it but trying to help my kid with the subtitles was a bitch... a lot of shhh'ing..

People walked out of the theater I was in. I loved it, but it will be interesting to see how it does in the second week. Word of mouth about the subtitles might cost it a lot of potential viewers. Sad but true.

MissMina · 09-01-2004, 04:59 PM

I don't know about genious but I always thought he was damn sexy.

Where can I pick it up on DVD?

excitica · 09-01-2004, 05:11 PM

"Hero" is one of the best movies in this world - dramatical with passion and a lot of sword fightings
Tarantino made a good choice.
