What's the deal with the chick holding the gun? LOL . Not one time was there a chick with a gun in the entire film. Did they think people would see that and go "OOOOOO! Chicks with guns! I just have to see that!" Too funny.
its what marketing teams do to asian movies released in the states. i dont even think that the people that make the covers of the north american releases even watch the films they make the art for before they make it. the north american IA bluray cover is just as irrelevant as this one, showing a minor character on the front and center as the focal point of the cover.
another example of crap covers for american release, hero. they put jet li and zhang ziyi on the cover only, even though zhang ziyi is only a minor character in the film, but americans know her so they put her on there. and they change the sword that jet li holds to an oriental looking curved sword that doesnt even appear in the film.
another example, fearless. they put jet li on the cover with a katana. thats not even chinese, come on now.
I agree, the cover gives an entirely false, and bad, impression of the film. It's much better than the poster implies, and as stated, there is no female main character holding her gun in the film like this. Absolutely terrible. I was actually going to comment on it just now, so it's nice to see someone else reacting about it :)
