I can't find that listed on IMDB???
Well, the storyline of 'The Promise' is very similar.

No the Korean DVD only has DD5.1.
It's the shorter HK and UK DVDs that have DTS. DTS would have trouble fitting on a film of 150 minutes in length.

What's this being remade as? I wasn't aware of a remake of that one.

Bloody English DD5.1 BUT only Korean DD2.0. Is this confirmed?
Why not give the film Korean DD5.1 too? I don't get it. Even if it it's at the lower bit-rate.
It makes even less sense when you consider Zhang Ziyi (how her name is supposed to be spelt) is up for Golden Globes for 'Memoirs of a Geisha'. Of which she's not the main part in Musa: The Warrior at all!
Hopes were so high for finally a decent uncut version of this but alas again it's not to be.
I own the UK R2 which is virtually the International Cut (a minor horse fall is missing) and it's my preferred cut so don't get me wrong but I'd still love a decent Director's Cut DVD.
All Director's Cut DVDs have been very much sub-par in the video department. Which includes the Korean and Australian DVDs.
The Australian DVD is still the way to go if you want the Director's cut (which runs for 150 minutes) as at least it has decent subs, the subs on the Korean DVD suck. Both are virtually the same AV wise, it's clear the Australian DVD comes from the Korean master.
If you want the International cut get the Gorgeous UK R2, which has considerably better AV to any other version! It also has a lovely set of English subtitled extras.
p.s - Of course the international cut is cut, just because the MPAA, OFLC (Australia), BBFC etc . . . didn't cut it it doesn't mean it's somehow a legitimate cut.
It's NOT Director endorsed!

Is there any definitive word yet on whether or not this version of "The Warrior" is the cut version or the complete 150 minute version?
Highres artwork now added...
And if you're complaining about Korean films and a lack of originality, you should really reconsider that one. It's the U.S. that's remaking every Asian movie... Be With You, Phone, The Eye, Dark Water, Ring, My Sassy Girl, Ju-On, Shall We Dance?, and more. Korean and Asian films can't be totally bad if the U.S. is remaking so many of their films.
Depending on what country you live in, of course you'd think it's your own country's films that have left a large cultural impact.

As far as the US studios remaking all those asian horror flicks for the US market, I don't count them as real films. In terms of cultural impact, like I said, I think HK, China, India, Japan, Europe and the US (well, the older hollywood movies in their heyday as well as the independent genre) are the ones I feel have the most impact. I don't mean to make it sound as if one country in particular is better in film making. I find myself leaning more towards the countries I just listed as having any real impact in cinema. To me anyway.

Tell Me Something is a great Korean film as well.

My first Korean exposure left me with a bad aftertaste and I still think they suck. I may sound bias, I know, but no one has left more memorable moments in the history of cinema more than the US, europe and some of Asia (NOT including Korea).
That's a bit of a generalization (with a hint of predjudice perhaps). Korean movies have their share of duds like any other country. Just because you saw one or a few bad ones doesn't mean there aren't any good ones.

It's not really cut, it's just the International version of the film. Have you ever seen Volcano High? There are two versions of that, the International and the domestic. Trust me, the running time of the International version is long enough...
I hate cut versions. It would be fine they included both cuts of the film. Still it might be something to check out.
I still have to see Oldboy, but tae Guk Gi wasn't too bad for a Korean film. I need to expand my Korean film watching soon (still need to see Shiri too).

No originality coming from Korea, really? Just this year I starting thinking the opposite, especially after seeing OLDBOY and SAVE THE GREEN PLANET!...

It's not too bad. The cover is a bit misleading as Zhang Ziyi doesn't fight at all in the film, but there's some pretty kick-arse action scenes. I thought it dragged on a bit though, and that was the shorter version.
Hmm, I've actually never heard of this film. Anybody want to lend me thier opinion?
The art's not bad, but it's not great either.
I think I'd have dozed off at 150 mins, but the international cut of Musa is quite good.
I'll stick with my 150 mins. cut
I'll stick with the import I have.
not feeling the art.
