Quick note that the cover art posted is not the same as the HD DVD I own, I am in fact trying to track down confirmation that this is the Rated R version and not the Unrated version that was also available. I would think that the unrated version would be much more desirable to the typical HD DVD owner at this point in the formats history.
I gotta say I liked this flick- big fan of Jet Li and Woo Ping so...there you have it. I'm glad I put off getting the SD DVD and I will be picking up this one on HD DVD...just as soon as I get my player (the end of the year can't come fast enough).
Oh, and glad to hear about the audio. When I saw this in the theater the sound was all eff'ed up. At first I thought they were muting the sound a bit, being artisitc and all, but after about two min. I found out that it wasn't exactly artistic as it was a (as the guy on duty told me) "bad print." In the long haul I didn't have to pay for my next movie at AMC because I complained (and I always tell anyone who has a problem at the theaters to tell someone, they won't get any better if you just let it slide).
