Korean Western, The Good, The Bad, The Weird

Wednesday, June 4th, 2008 at 8:14 am by Jami

Reader Ben Means sent along this trailer for the Korean Western flick, The Good, The Bad, The Weird. So I pretty much have to see this now. And I need to see Chocolate! I need an Asian action movie expert to just send me movies like this!

The Good, The Bad, The Weird takes place in 1930’s Manchuria. The Weird is a train robber who steals from a Japanese train crossing the Manchurian plains and discovers a treasure map. The Bad is a gang leader who also seeks the map. The Good is a bounty hunter looking for the Bad. Mix in the Japanese Army, Chinese bandits, and Korean freedom fighters and you have a formula for awesome! No word on if it will manage to make its way over here. But I’m hopeful. If The Host can make it to screens in the U.S. then surely The Good, The Bad, The Weird can make the trip.

This is one of those films I’ll own at least a couple copies of. I’ll get the ‘fucked up subtitles’ umm, ‘import,’ and any officially released version that comes out. I have this odd thing for Westerns, and this kicks that shit over 9,000!

It looks awesome… I would love to watch this flick!
Just glad they didn’t go with The good, The Bad, and The Ugry.

If you haven’t seen it already I would recommend Sukiyaki Western Django it’s pretty fun.

Ha ha wow, I have got to see this! It looks amazing!

Chocolate, while we’re on the topic, was a kick ass movie! I watched it first a few weekends ago at a friend of mine’s place, but the subtitles were so bloody awful that we couldn’t get much of the story. Still looked good though, so we got a hold of some better subtitles and wow! It actually made sense! I highly recommend it!

Also, if you want another recommendation for crazy asian flicks, check out Save The Green Planet (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0354668/ and http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=78Kp9WZFlO8), it might sound a little strange from the description, but it’s a blast.

Hmmm, I could’ve sworn that I posted a comment here earlier today… It’s a conspiracy!

Waaaaah?! Sorry for the multiple posts here, but up until after I had posted the second comment, my first one was invisible!

Hmmmm, says it’s awaiting moderation?

Sorry man. The way it’s set up is if you post more than one link in your comment, it automatically goes into moderation. No great conspiracy, just spam filter.
