I felt the subtitles were a bit better in this version but I still don't see why they changed "All Under Heaven" to "Our Land".

It took forever to find out how to select the subtitles because the DVD is in Mandarin. It was a little over the top, not as much a grabber as Crouching Tiger was and also the prologue wasn't subtitled so I don't know what the hell it said. Can someone summerize it at all? Is it really that pertinent to the film? I borrowed this DVD off of a guy who got it in Chinatown. It took forever to find out how to select the subtitles because the DVD is in Mandarin.

It says that in pre-unified China there were 6 (or 7?) warring provinces and the most powerful province was Qin. Then it explains how the king of Qin's dream was to unite the country and there are three assassins who are out to kill him. A nameless warrior has killed the assassins and as a reward he gets an audience with the king. It just basically sets the opening scene up.
