Not bad Not bad, I saw the film the day before yesterday in Incheon. As I know it's Korea first western film. Since I barley know any Korean I'm not so sure as to what they were saying. But I'll talke about that later, the film is a cross between Sammo Hung's Shanghai Express and 3:10 to Yuma. With it's comedic moments in dialouge but lots of gun fights, no martial arts if you're wondering since i compared it to Shanghai Express. It takes place in the fortys when Japan annex Korea. As the film starts it opens with a mob boss having a meeting with a goon. He gives a map/document to the goon who in turn gives it to the Chinese government. The boss hires his best lacky (Lee Byeong Hyon - The BAD) to get it back, but is beaten to the punch by Song Kong Ho characther (The Weird)
Jeong Woo Seong character (The GOOD) is a bounty hunter, who is hired not to protect the map but in a sense given dibbs on the outlaws that would try to steel the map. Lee Byeong Hyeon lies to his boss about having the map in order to see how much he's willing to pay for it. Once he's paid he then kills his boss and assumes leader of the gange. He has no interst in the map at all but when he finds out that it was So Kang Ho's character who took it, he wants to pay him back for something that happend when they first met. Song Kang Ho is captured by Woo Seong but escapes, by then everyone knows about the map and everyone heads to the same location. Byeong Hyeon, Kang Ho, and Woo Seong are the only three to make it but each has different goals when they get there. They have a three way stand off like in The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly. hhhmmmm...
there's a little more at the very end but I don't want to give it all away. Other than the title, the shoot out at the end and for an occasional whistleing music theme. there is no reference to The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly. It's an entertaining film that I recommend, I'm in Korea so that's how i was able to see it. I try to support Korean cinema as much as i can so I would also recommend that no one downloads the film. Just wait till it comes out on DVD, it'll be worth the wait. Actually while i'm here i might even see it agian.
