Executive Producer usually means large sums of money were involved, and not necessarily any work.
In this case, dude had nothing to do with the film until it was already completed.
He did the same thing with Hero.

This is much different than Hero where he found an Asian movie he liked and paid to have it released here and put his name on it.
