A nameless warrior (Jet Li, Romeo Must Die , Once Upon a Time in China ) arrives at an emperor's palace with three weapons, each belonging to a famous assassin who had sworn to kill the emperor. As the nameless man spins out his story--and the emperor presents his own interpretation of what might really have happened--each episode is drenched in red, blue, white or another dominant color. Hero combines sweeping cinematography and superb performances from the cream of the Hong Kong cinema (Maggie Cheung, Irma Vep , Comrades: Almost a Love Story ; Tony Leung Chiu-Wai, In the Mood for Love , Hard Boiled ; and Zhang Ziyi, Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon ). The result is stunning, a dazzling action movie with an emotional richness that deepens with every step. --Bret Fetzer Sweeping and sumptuously-shot martial arts action film in the vein of Ang Lee's 'Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon'. In Ancient China, the Emperor of the northern province of Qin (Daoming Chen) is under constant threat of assassination attempts. Three assassins in particular are the cause of much fear in the palace: Broken Sword (Tony Leung Chiu Wai), Sky (Donnie Yen) and Flying Snow (Maggie Cheung). When a minor local official (Jet Li) comes to the palace to relay the information that he has managed to overcome the three adversaries, the Emperor invites him to tell the story of his incredible victory.

I was quite young at the time, but I remember being amazed at how brilliant this film is. Would highly recommend this blu ray. Picture and sound quality are great and is definitely one I will be revisiting more ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Epic *by T***N on 7 June 2026* Awsome film..an epic tale absolutely worth watching. I love this film. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ mixed feelings! *by S***N on 14 February 2012* first of all; i will not write anything about the movie itself. just about the quality of the blu ray. picture quality differs from 3,5 - 4,5 out of 5. wide angle shots definitely lack some sharpness, but the closer the camera gets the better the sharpness becomes. a few close-ups get a 4,5. but this is rare. the colours are strong and powerful with a good contrast overall. wide angel shots show some(!) blurriness. compared with the previous releases on dvd this blu ray it a BIG improvement picture quality wise. sound quality is the BIG negative (but this is complaining on a higher level). the DTS-Master-Soundtrack excists only as a dubbed english soundtrack, which is so poorly crafted i cannot find the words for it. the effects and music-score kick some a**, but the dubbed dialogue is only there for a good laugh (that's my opinion). so the 5.1 dolby digital chinese soundtrack kick some a** as well, but definitely doesn't even come close to the lossless track. guess the chinese soundtrack was used on all the dvds before, so not so much of an improvement on the sound part. there are some extras as well, which i didn't really check so far. some making-of featurette, fight scene featurette, storyboards and something else. guess there is like one hour of extras on it. overall i'd give 3,8 stars for the picture quality and sound quality. that's closer to 4 than to 3 and with a bonus for the movie itself the blu ray deserves 4 stars! sell your dvd (if you still get something for it) and get this blu ray. it's a fair upgrade! --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.at/products/53755108-quentin-tarantino-presents-hero](https://www.desertcart.at/products/53755108-quentin-tarantino-presents-hero) --- *Product available on Desertcart Austria* *Store origin: AT* *Last updated: 2026-09-18*
