It is rare for anyone to have an original poster signed, as the majority of signatures are on pieces of paper, photographs and video/dvd sleeves. It is unusual to have the film's poster with you when you try to obtain signatures.

This Wuxia (martial hero) film was directed by Ang Lee. The cast includes Yun-Fat Chow, Michelle Yeoh, Ziyi Zhang and Chang Chen. The film tells the story of a young female warrior Yu Shu Lien (Michelle Yeoh), who is entrusted to deliver a renowned swordsman's legendary Green Destiny sword, which is four hundred years old, to Governor Yu (Fazeng Li). However, once it has been delivered, a masked thief steals it. This leads Yu Shu Lien into a romantic adventure, where passions run high.
