My Father Is A Hero (simplified Chinese: 给爸爸的信; traditional Chinese: 給爸爸的信; pinyin: Gĕi bàba de xìn; literally "Letter to Father"), also known as Letter To Daddy, The Enforcer or Jet Li's The Enforcer, is a 1995 Hong Kong action film directed by Corey Yuen and starring Jet Li.

[edit] Summary

Despite concerns over his asthmatic wife and martial artist son Kung "Little Ku" Ku (Xie Miao), Kung Wei (Jet Li), a police officer of the People's Republic of China, is assigned to bring down a Hong Kong gang and its sadistic leader Po Kwang (Yu Rongguang).

The Mei Ah Laserdisc contains a scene where Po Kwang and his thug (Collin Chou) speculate Kung Wei being an undercover cop. It occurs before the scene where Little Ku appears on the news. Versions maintaining the original score that exclude this scene contain a jump in the audio.
Indian distributor Diskovery released the export English version on VCD. It is cut however.
Mei Ah released a non-remastered DVD with Cantonese and Mandarin soundtracks with English and Chinese subtitles.
In the US, My Father Is A Hero was re-edited/scored/dubbed and released as The Enforcer by Dimension Films in 2000. No option for the original Cantonese audio was included. The same version of the film was released in the UK on DVD in 2004 by Hollywood Pictures (the VHS in 2002).
A remastered anamorphic DVD was released by Mei Ah in 2005. Like a number of Mei Ah's "mono" soundtracks, it's a downmix of the 5.1 audio.
In 2009, Dragon Dynasty released a Special Edition of the film with new additional features. However, the Dimension cut and soundtrack had been preserved, making this the first Dragon Dynasty release that does not feature the original language soundtrack (with exception to 'My Young Auntie').
Also in 2009, an Austrian DVD by MIB was released featuring the uncut Hong Kong version with its original mono Cantonese soundtrack and newly remastered English subtitles - among the extras are trailers and a deleted scene (the aforementioned Laserdisc).
