The subtitled version is available on Netflix. It is re-titled Dragon for U.S. distribution. That's a stupid title because there are no dragons here, plus there already are plenty of Kung Fu flicks titled Dragon. 
This movie is much better with subtitles. It's actually got a decent plot. That's so refreshing for the Kung Fu genre. I really enjoyed it this time, now that I had a better idea of what was going on. Without subs, I missed a lot of story arcs, and I imagine trying to figure those out half-a-decade ago was annoying and made the fight scenes seem fewer and more far between. There's some really nice stuff in this film - the cinematography, the CGI, the fight scenes, the settings, all very well executed. And Kara Hui is magnificent, totally different than her My Young Auntie character, so much so that I didn't even recognize her the first time through. She delivers one of the best fight scenes in the film.
