Sang hwan is a somewhat cowardly Korean policeman. By
chance, he meets a mysterious
group of old men called the
'Seven Masters"- who
protect the earth from ancient
evil. Centuries ago, the Seven
Masters imprisoned HeugUn- the
master of absolute evil- but now
HeungUn has returned to seek
bloody vengeance on all mankind.
Teamed with the beautiful but
deadly Eui-jin, Sang hwan must
not only fight for his own life,
but to protect the fate of all
men.
SO
IS IT ANY GOOD?
Pretty
much a star vehicle for the talented Ryoo
Seung-bum Arahan pulls off some stunning set pieces as it races along at
a fast pace. Ryoo Seung-bum (the director's brother) takes the lead as
cop who goes from being a laughing stock to a lean mean fighting
machine.
Arahan
touches all the modern martial arts bases from the fly wire fights and
super fast editing (these days it seems that no matter what Kung Fu
ability the leads may have they are all the new Bruce Lee thanks to
camera trickery).
and
the movie itself at times appears like a Korean Karate Kid as Seung-bum
is trained by the old master. It is however very entertaining and worth
watching for the frantic and fantastic restaurant fight scene alone.
ANY
SPECIAL FEATURES?
Documentary going behind the scenes of the movie; cast
and crew interviews and the original trailers.
