I bought this film for 2 reasons the first being it was 3.99 and secondly just the title Hard Bastard (Which I'm not sure is the actual translation) looking at the DVD cover now still makes me cry with laughter. Then again I suppose you can make that 3 reasons as I knew Hwang Jang Lee (Drunken Master) would have a few tricks up his sleeve and he does. Although the production values on the DVD were appalling and the dubbing gave the impression that this was a carry on film a few beers or whatever your poison may be and you will laugh so much you will nearly crap yourself.

"Where are you going?" "to kick sh#t out of them"

The last fight is quite good I just wish it was in widescreen and not the poor pan and scan one that makes you miss the occasional kick to the face.

Also if anyone's ever seen 'the postman fights back' (Ronny Yu 1985) they will recognise the bad guy with the face like a lattice fry as one of the assassins after chow fat...... 10 points going to the person that can tell me his name.

If you see this film in your local off licence pick it up along with a crate of beer sit back and enjoy.

Korean cinema is known for its mastery of genre, fluidly blending thriller, drama, and dark comedy with social critique. The post-1990s renaissance brought bold storytelling and masterful craft to the world stage, addressing class, identity, and modern anxieties with cinematic flair.

The action genre features fast-paced, thrilling, and intense sequences of physical feats, combat, and excitement. The characters of these stories are involved in daring and often dangerous situations, requiring them to rely on their physical prowess, skills, and quick thinking to overcome challenges and adversaries.

The drama genre is a broad category that features stories portraying human experiences, emotions, conflicts, and relationships in a realistic and emotionally impactful way. Dramas delve into the complexities of human life, often exploring themes of love, loss, morality, societal issues, personal growth, with the aim to evoke an emotional response from the audience by presenting relatable and thought-provoking stories.
