Does anyone know of a site that details the differences in the film between Zhang yiimou's Hero theatrical and director's cut?

Cheers.

Have you tried the "alternative version" section on the film's IMDB profile?

All I can remember is that the DC is ten minutes longer.
-The fight on the lake is told from another angle.
-The Maggie/Ziyi fight in the golden forest is longer and slower (the pace fits the music better).
-There are two very short Tony/Maggie and Jet/Ziyi fights.

Most of the extended stuff consists of added shots, though. Nothing major.

Theatrical cut was on Filmfour on Monday.

Subtitles were different (like Edko although in better wording/placement) compared to the made-up ones Miramax created for the cinematic release but the "Our Land" concept remained

I missed it

I avoided it as I thought the dumbed down ones Miramax made up would be used

You have the DVD don't you? So it's hardly a big deal.
