message: Why is the title presented only in simplified Chinese?  Presumably it was originally written in traditional characters.  I think this ought to be rectified.　ed:  well also the Cantonese should obviously be presented  Casey J. Morris (talk) 01:01, 26 December 2008 (UTC)

message: Is this section really necessary?
Even the statement "In 2007, Dragon Dynasty promised to release a two-disc DVD of The Killer but, as of 2009, it has not yet been released" doesn't contain any information. It should be deleted.77.181.78.51 (talk) 12:21, 22 June 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Per MOS:FILM#Home_media, there is no problem with sections on home media like this. Considering the popularity of the film and it's general high reception, I think the fact it's not so easily available in the United States Region 1 DVD is important information.

thread_title: Home Video

message: The addition of See Also and a link to the List of Dragon Dynasty releases page was not done as free advertising, the claim in the undo note. I have no pecuniary interest in Dragon Dynasty or the Weinstein Company, it's corporate parent. It is not redundant with the link in the article about releases, since the article link goes to the Dragon Dynasty company page which is completely different and has no content about specific releases. A link to the list page provide a link to page containing a concise detailed description, without editorial content, of the DVD and Blu-Ray media content for the Dragon Dynasty releases of The Killer, information not present on the Dragon Dynasty company page. I agree with Andrzejbanas in the remark on the Home Video section above. The popularity, critical reception and historical importance of many Asian films, but the difficulty of finding readily available DVD Region 1 or Region 0 NTSC releases, makes this important information. Many of these releases, particularly ones by companies such as Dragon Dynasty, Hong Kong Legends and Criterion, include additional features such as interviews with actors and directors and feature-length commentaries by directors and Asian cinema experts, also important information to know about releases since it provides an avenue to pursue additional research about these films. I believe it is appropriate to keep that kind of detail on releases list pages such as the one done for Dragon Dynasty releases and not in an article such as this one. Also, release lists provide fairly current information about which releases are no longer in print, currently there are 7 out-of-print titles in the Dragon Dynasty release list. Fortunately, this title is not among them. I believe that keeping up with such releases may detract from the main focus of the main article for the film. I also believe it would be appropriate to have similar information about Hong Kong Legends releases and Criterion releases as well as any other company that makes notable releases of Asian cinema in western countries.

message: Just for a discussion, I don't believe we need to continue with the recent edits. Chow Yun-Fat's name still needs the dash in it, so I don't know why that's being changed. Tsui Hark doesn't need to be mentioned in the lead as it's already a very long sentence. We don't have a link to "action crime" films, so I've separated the genre. I think it reads better that way. That DVD information has no citation so I've removed it. Please discuss it before we edit it again further. Andrzejbanas (talk) 10:53, 7 June 2012 (UTC)

I just watched the movie.  In the subtitles, Li calls Ah Jong "Shrimp Head" and Ah Jong calls Li "Small B".  Was this in error? —Tamfang (talk) 08:10, 22 December 2013 (UTC)
