The Good, The Bad, The Weird

Anyone else see this movie? I just watched this last night, and it is AWESOME. It's a "Korean Western" (or as the Director called it, a Kimchee Western). A lot of fun to watch. A cross between a classic Western and an over-the-top Korean action movie. The opening train robbery scene is one of the best openers I've seen in a movie in awhile.

I had an imported DVD of it. Not sure if/when it will be released on U.S. DVD, but get ahold of this movie if you can find it.

Here's a trailer:

Love this movie.

Lee Byunghyun, the "Bad" is Storm Shadow from GI Joe.

LOVED LOVED LOVED the movie - it's like tarantino meets Asia plus a dash of the old west.

Looks like a Korean Indiana Jones with more explosions and bullets.

Close - though it's hyper kenetic, throw everything at the screen and see what sticks film making at it's best, and not Mummy II

Yeah, there's definitely some Indiana Jones vibe in it, but far more action oriented. In a good way though, not, as mentioned above, in an insanely stupid The Mummy way.
