Been looking for it online, but can`t find it (not for a reasonable price anyway) - anyone know where I can get it from???

I found it at YesAsia here. It`s a reasonable price, although I don`t know what shipping is like. It`s the same version that I have, and is cheaper than the Korean and Japanese versions.

I`ve never used YesAsia though.

HK Flix show both the Chinese and HK releases as OOP.

I`ve used yesasia and found them to be very good. No customs charges to the UK and free shiping over about $50 I think.

with respect to the availability from US i think that miramax have been leaning heavily on websites offering Hero for sale. At the moment you can get the dvd from sweden, spain and france but Harvey Beerstein (CBE) has the English markets firmly in his grip it seems. Even dddhouse only stocks the vcd
The chinese (rather than hong kong release) is available from here and this site is a good source of news on Hero and similar films.

hi,

can you tell me which dvd player you have? i have two sets - one works on all dvd players, but the other only works on some - i had this one first but when i upgraded my dvd player it no longer worked. if you have one that will play the dvd then you are welcome to buy it off me - its a two disc edition and i`ll let it slide for £10 all in.

thanks,
Saqib.

I got the 2 disc set for a tenner from CD-WOW last year or the year before and i was chuffed to bits with it now.

But, as has been mentioned, now its finally secured a worldwide release its rarer than hens teeth. Probably thinking ahead to the release (re-release?) of it on DVD after its run at the cinema ends.



Aw, people can come up with statistics to prove anything, Kent.
Forty percent of all people know that.
