On another note, I was pretty disappointed that my Hero Director's Cut DVD hasn't arrived yet but all that disappointment was washed away when I started reading reviews for it.

Some points:

• Horrible picture quality (some colours oversaturated, contrast is weak)
• Sound is just again decent (I read in many reviews that the Japanese version blows all others away)
• The extra 10 minutes of film are just alternate takes, more fight footage, and one all-new scene.
• The beginning and ending text are not subtitled in English at all (the Japanese version is subtitled).
• The packaging is just plain awful (I heard that it looks like a condom).
• The company logo keeps on popping up in the upper left hand side to prevent piracy (BOO!).

That's why Wency and I splurged $51 to buy the infinitely superior Japanese version (now, I can't wait for that one).
