A couple months earlier I had seen the hong kong version of this on DVD, and seeing it re-done in the theater was simply stunning. The translation on the subtitles was greatly improved, and the music was better, but the biggest difference was the sound, the sound was phenomenal. The end result of all this makes "Iron Monkey" the best movie I've seen this year, which the exception of "A Knight's Tale", which had more contemporary music. Yen, Yu, Wang, and Yuen were all great and hopefully we will see them in the US more.
