I watched this last week. A truly excellent film. The first third of the movie is a little slow, but boy does it pick up from there. The choreography of the battle scenes between the archers is something to behold, especially the last battle / stand-off.
 
Hey guys, since I am in the US would you suggest ordering from yesasia or k2? What does k2 charge for shipping?

Speed, I have had great experiences buying from both and both shipped in boxes with great packaging. Bear in mind in my experiences, I have ordered more than one time each time so for single item, it might be different. Based on postings here, they have shipped single item in boxes as well.

To WA state, K2 charges about $8 for small parcel shipping (7-14 days shipping). For the same shipping method, it is free on YesAsia. Hope this helps.

I own one and let me say..it's a real beauty and plays in Region A.
The movie was top audio and video as well!

That's because it is region A. :)


I think the reason why this is still in stock is that it seems Korea didn't share this run with any other Asian Countries. You only see Korean retailers carrying it.

Where as when you take other titles, that all the small Asian sites get it seems thats why they sell out quicker is they are from shared runs. For example Robin Hood steelbook.
 
Just watched this after reading all of the great reviews here, the final scene with the slow-motion shot was EPIC!! Any fan of Asian cinema needs this in their collection!
 
I watched the movie the other day and I though it was good although I think in just watching it with subs, some of the movie got lost for me.
It was difficult to see the effect of the different languages/dialects being spoken with only English subs. No italics or anything. Im not used to watching foreign films with subs so thats probably why it was difficult for me to pick up on. How is this handled on the US BD? This isnt really much of a spoiler but whatever:p
I think it'll be better the second viewing:) O, and the steelbook looks really cool! New collectors need to check this one out. Its still available from both links in the OP.

Let us know what scenes that you need explanation.

I watch all my movies with English subtitle, even the English movie. Sometime, I can't hear the words coming out of their mouth...especially Arnold S... LOL. :hilarious:

Just watched this movie today and quite enjoyed it save for one particular computer generated image. I won't mention the specifics as I don't want to spoil it for anyone who has yet to watch the film but for those who have, you undoubtedly know which image I am referring to.;)

Just watched this two nights ago for the first time and it was good stuff

Spoiler Alert!
If you were referring to the Tiger scene, they could have used better CGI but I've seen worse lol
