The U.S. dvd cover is misleading... SPOILERS

I mean, don't get me wrong, I enjoyed the movie, but, the U.S. cover shows the princess holding a sword as if she's going to do a fight scene or two. All she did was stab a guy at the very end and the sword that she used wasn't even the same as the one on the dvd cover. I mean, I didn't expect her to be some big warrior, but, it made me think she would have drawn a sword more than once in this film.

I mean it is bad. Ya know. Like bad as in bad. Like, I'm bad, Jamal, you know it. -Elvira, M.O.T.D.

Well, the reason they have a princess on US cover is because Zhang Ziyi is widely known by US audience. Other Korean actors are not known in the west, I guess is was a better strategy to promote the film to US market.

But still, if she was not holding a sword a US audience will still know who Ziyi Zhang is.

Everything about US releases of Asian films are misleading. The titles, the box art, comparing every martial arts film to CTHD. So annoying.
