Fearless Domestic Trailer

apparently, for asian films, movie-voice-guy has to speak w/ an "asian" accent. also, during the one line of dialogue in the trailer, was that dubbing i heard? please tell me this film is going to be released w/ subs....

If I'm not mistaken, I believe the narrator is James Hong, best known for his roles in Big Trouble in Little China and Blade Runner.

Don't know if its going to be subbed.

I'm more surprised that they're going with the shorter version, since the longer version would allow them to put Michelle Yeoh in the trailer.

As for the trailer - no complaints here. If that was dubbing (don't know if the film had any English in it originally - clearly it had westerners) then it was unusually good dubbing, at least to my ears. So did BROTHERHOOD OF THE WOLF on DVD - maybe it's a Universal Pictures thing.

The narrator, who does sound like James Hong, is a refreshing change from the normal Trailer Voice that I have really grown to hate. I liked it, and I also liked that they didn't need to laundry-list films Yuen Wo-Ping has worked on, and that Ronny Yu is considered enough of a draw to get his own title card in trailers now. My biggest complaint is that it's from the makers of some movie called "CROUCHING TIGER". Is that a prequel to CROUCHING TIGER, HIDDEN DRAGON? And the PG-13 worries me - anybody who's seen this and is somewhat familiar with the ways of the MPAA able to say if this could have gotten that rating without cuts?

Other than one bloody and rapid murder, there is nothing out of the PG-13 realm in the DVD I watched of the film. There is some english in the film too...(I haven't watched the trailer posted here to confirm.)

And as for voice overs, the worst trailer voice over I've heard in a while is the one over THE BANQUET trailer...brutal and way out of place for the mood of the trailer.

Yeah, what Kurt said. This could easily pass untouched and get a PG-13. No problem there. And yeah, there are a handful of English lines in the film and that was one of them.

I really quite impressed by how effectively that trailer sets up the context of things for it, though it presents it as far more action based than it really is. I think all the major fights but one are represented there ...
