Warriors of Heaven and Earth may be timed to capitalize on the popularity of Hero, but it is not the same kind of film.
A decent setup and all, but it takes the movie about an hour to get through all that, plus all the lead actors are unfamiliar guys with beards, which makes them difficult to tell apart until they change into the more color-coordinated outfits they wear during the movie's second half.
The first half of the movie is reminiscent of a Western, with the dusty desert town, robber-baron boss, and the honorable lawman who forms a temporary alliance with his equally honorable prey to fight for justice.

Heaven Can Wait, starring Don Ameche is about a man who has just died and tells the gatepeeker at the entrance to Hell that he deserves to be let in.
I think Criterion must prepare with more care their discs, thinking of them as the definitive editions for future reference of each film involved (even if this means two discs instead of one!!).
Partly it's a matter of no one expecting a 1943 Fox movie featuring Don Ameche, the star of so many bland Technicolor musicals at that studio, to be a comedy of rare loveliness.

Jordan" (which in turn was based on a play by Harry Segall), this 1978 remake is newly titled "Heaven Can Wait" (which was the original title of Segall's play, incidentally; everything comes around).
In the meantime, the murderous wife and secretary continue to hang around and plot their next move; and a representative from a protest group in England (Julie Christie) wants Farnsworth's head on a platter for his company's misdeeds in her little village.
Her words in the final scene, "You're the quarterback," never fail to move me. (You'll have to trust me on that one.) Mason, playing the part originated by Claude Rains, is his usual elegant, assured, quiet-spoken self.

And the idea holds up surprisingly well in "Heaven Can Wait," Warren Beatty's new remake, which somehow manages to combine the sweetness and innocence of the original with a satirical bite all its own.
The man in charge of heaven's Way Station is James Mason, who somehow needs no preparation for this particular role, and who insists that Beatty be sent back to Earth and given his full time due.

James Mason and Buck Henry are average as Heaven's Mr Jordan and his escort, but for the most part their characters are more mundane as opposed to fantastical.

Heaven Can Wait possesses a deserved cult following, but should really only be purchased at a cheap price, as Paramount's current RRP for barebones back-catalogue releases is terribly high.

Boxing is making a huge comeback in the year 2002 with Will Smith's movie Ali just out, Mike Tyson back in the ring (if he can get licensed), and plenty of Pay-Per-View specials in the works.
Since then, it has had a 1940's sequel called "Down to Earth", a 1978 remake called "Heaven Can Wait" (with football in place of boxing), and most recently a Chris Rock movie called "Down to Earth" (where he plays a comedian killed before he can play the Apollo).
With a hilarious plot revolving around love, murder, and of course, boxing, Heaven Can Wait is an angelic event which cannot be missed.
