Viewer Reviews My thoughts on the movie that has not already been shared:
1) The original movie with the subtitles (Far East version) was edited for Western distribution (aka Quentin Tarantino) and all important Chinese character which gave the tie-in for movie was re subtitle and really threw the meaning way off.
2) Also, for whatever reason the Western Distributor messed up and the movie was not enter for the Oscars for Best Foreign film.
