All this does look familiar....

I did. Maybe in that thread with Korean Films to look out for or so.

What's funny is that the trailer uses the "Requiem for a Dream"-music. But it looks totally awesome and I will be one of the first people to get this as I loved "Bichunmoo".

The running time at DVD Asian says 98 minutes which is quite unusual for a Korean film. Maybe New Line has something to do with that (Rumble in the Bronx, First Strike). Maybe the film will get a theatrical screening over here then, too.

I loved Bichunmoo too . Is there any information about the storylines to this?

tom2681 · Post by **tom2681** » 01 Mar 2006, 17:43

There is no review, no illegal bootleg, no synopsis, no nothing.
The only thing I could find so far was the OST.

This looks awesome. You can never have enough period action epics or even period action flicks.

I loved Bichunmoo too.

* Surely it's not DD2.0?
* How long on averages does it take from Korean DVD to HK DVD? I should know but I don't.

* Is there any similar films like this released in the last few months I may have missed?

"The Duelist" probably. I could have seen that over a month ago, but the film is still with the customs fuckers (along with "Welcome to Dongmakgol").

OMG isn't that still sorted out?

What's the latest?

thelostdragon · Post by **thelostdragon** » 01 Mar 2006, 19:40

Nothing. I haven't heard of them ever since. I called and they said it's still at the inspection with a maximum handling time of ten days. Well, it has been over a month now.

Can you get some kind of refund? As that's nuts they've effectively stolen your DVDs. Threaten some kind of legal action.

How do you know it won't happen again?

thelostdragon · Post by **thelostdragon** » 01 Mar 2006, 19:51

I don't! The funny thing is that on the phone I was told that if the DVDs' companies turn out to be illegally using the DVD-logo, they'll send me a letter asking for permission to destroy the DVDs. If I say no they'll sue me. LOL. What a joke! Fuckers.

bradavon · Post by **bradavon** » 01 Mar 2006, 20:02

Why would they sue you? They would never hold up in court surely. It's not even logical.

Are you worried about importing again? Surely they won't let it happen again and again???

The thing is if they destroy them you're a good few Euros out of pocket as you won't get a refund from the source company (who were they btw?).

Just let them sue you. It's a legal DVD. You might even get them to pay for damages and get a formal apology.
What a fucking bastards. Guess I wont be emigrating to germany then

Nope.
+The DVD release has been pushed back to April 21th.

sky75 · Post by **sky75** » 24 Mar 2006, 17:52

thanks anyway Tom.

tom2681 · Post by **tom2681** » 13 Apr 2006, 19:48

A DVD-Rip is now available in all the usual p2p places.
Don't ask me. I can't talk about it.

*Downloading as I type this*

*I'll write a mini-review in a couple of days*

If you liked Bichunmoo, then buy this.
If you like fast-paced HK swordplay/wire-fu films from 1990-1994, then buy this.

I don't think anybody has posted this yet.

Music Video.
21mb DivX - MP3.

I've tried to get rid of all the interlacing issues (and failed).
Still I think it looks Okay-ish.

thelostdragon · Post by **thelostdragon** » 17 Apr 2006, 21:24

Recently received the OST. It's really cool.

tom2681 · Post by **tom2681** » 17 Apr 2006, 21:30

Would you happen to know who did the music ?
I was wondering if it was the same guy who did Bichunmoo.

Sorry, it's all in Korean here.
