Product Description
From South Korea comes this wild take on Sergio Leone's classic spaghetti Western the Good, the Bad and the Ugly. It's 1930s Manchuria and greed is in the air. A manic outlaw, a nasty holy man and a determined bounty hunter are all in hot pursuit of a treasure map. Throw in Chinese gangsters, the Japanese army and other rival factions also in pursuit of the invaluable map, and it all comes down to a you've-got-to-see-it-to-believe-it showdown in the desert. One of the most expensive films ever made in South Korea, the Good, the Bad, the Weird was the talk of festivals worldwide and won such prizes as the Asia Pacific Screen Award for it's cinematography and the Asian Film Award for Best Supporting Actor (Jung Woo-sung).

I have to say that this may be one of my favorite movies in recent memory. I have had this film since its release and first heard about it from Young William of Woopak the Great. I have been meaning to write this review since the film's release but I could never do the movie justice. Now if you have yet to see this movie I highly recommend it. Some people may not like it as much as me but I have not heard anybody hate on this.
Two outlaws, a bounty hunter, the Japanese army, Chinese bandits, and just about everyone in Manchuria are after one thing, a treasure map. Yoon Tae-Goo aka The Weird is first to get his hands on the map unintentionally aboard a train, stealing it from the Japanese army. Hot on his heals aboard the train is Park Chang-Yi aka The Bad a hit man hired to retrieve the map. Looking for both men is Park Do-Won aka The Good a bounty hunter looking t cash in. As The Weird makes his way across the desert with the map all parties involved follow suit and the war begins for the map. The quest to whatever treasure may at the end of the map is one wild and violent ride, but a fun one.
Director Kim Jee-Woon who you may remember from his films like "A Tale of Two Sisters", "I Saw the Devil" and of course "A Bittersweet Life" really delivers here. Visually this is one of the best films I have ever watched. The camera keeps moving and the visuals are stunning, from sets to props to just everything on screen. It is no wonder that the film has won numerous awards including for the acting. Song Kang-Ho is excellent as the weird and adds so much to this film, he and the character are very charismatic. Lee Byung-hun is absolutely brilliant as The Bad in my opinion and just comes off as the perfect villain. Then of course there is Jung Woo-sung who plays The Good with an almost outlaw like coolness to him. That of course makes him feel a bit more like the people he chases and that adds a little edge to him.
These three guys mesh so well together and make for a perfect on screen team of actors. Add in the over the top action and comedy and you have a really good time. This really is one of the most fun films I own and I can honestly say I have watched it multiple times. In fact I can say that both versions or should I say cuts of the film are really good, although they end rather differently. Also the entire cast here was great as was all involved because the finished product is very well done.
You know it feels like I am over praising this film but I really do enjoy this flick. Everyone that I have shown this to have loved the flick. In fact people that I convinced to watch this on Netflix ending up liking it so much they went out to buy it. The DVD/Blu-Ray comes with all kinds of great special features so I really do recommend buying this. So with all that said I say check this flick out right now, you may not love it like I do but I am sure you will like it.
The Good: Played by Jung Woo-Sung. He did an excellent job as the bounty hunter. I was totally impressed with his horse riding skills while shooting a rifle that he cocked while spinning it. At a full gallop, while standing in the stirrups. He has the classic cowboy look and it looked great on him.
The Bad: Played by Lee Byung-hun. He made a fantastic bad guy that was slightly psychotic and totally driven to be the best bad guy ever. He likes playing with knives and is a quick draw dead shot with a gun. Dresses in a pin stripe blue suit and is a bit fussy about his hair. Antagonist to The Weird.
The Weird: Played by Sung Kang-ho. He was definitely weird, but there's layers of stuff going on behind all of that that weirdness. He drives the vintage side car motorcycle, dresses like a cross between a nomad and a steam punk. Antagonist to The Bad.
Throw in random other bad guys, the Chinese Army, vintage side car motorcycles, gangs, drugs, train robberies, double dealing, horses, guns, huge chase scenes with panoramic views along with a bunch of other stuff and it totals up to AWESOME. It was a well acted, well directed and well produced movie. I've already watched it twice and will be watching it again real soon after I get a recliner to park in front of my big screen TV. I totally loved this movie and highly recommend it.
This is not a martial arts movie, and while many characters obviously know martial arts, that is not how they tend to settle their grievances. This is a western, and they settle disputes with their guns. The characters (and this is not limited to the three main characters) are all very entertaining. They all have their reasons, and while you won't always agree with them, you understand where they are coming from. The fact that this is a Korean movie only shows in its cast, so you don't need to know anything about their culture to `get' it. The film makers were not trying to cash in on a playful name, they clearly love the genre and it shows.
This was a very fun movie, and despite its length, it didn't drag on or overstay its welcome. I was actually shocked when it ended, because it didn't seem like over 2 hours had gone by. What it comes down to is this: If you don't mind subtitles and are thinking of buying The Good, the Bad and the Weird, then you probably should.

klingt komisch, ist aber der absolute Hammer. Es geht um einen eher tollpatschigen Zugräuber, der eine Schatzkarte findet, einem supercoolen Bandit, der diese zurückholen will, und einem Kopfgeldjäger, der beide jagt. Alles artet in ein ultimatives Katz- und Maus-Spiel aus. Coole Sprüche, wilde Schießereien, bei denen der Brutalitätsfaktor auch nicht zu gering kommt, sowie jede Menge Potenzial zum Lachen machen diesen Film einfach einzigartig. Nach und nach will man natürlich herausfinden, wer denn nun der ultimative King von den drei Hauptpersonen ist...
Wer sich jetzt aber fragt, warum in diesem Film Motorräder, Jeeps und LKWs benutzt werden (Motorräder - Western?! Western - Motorräder?!), dem kann ich nur sagen, dass die Handlung nicht im 19. Jahrhundert spielt, sondern irgendwann kurz vorm 2. Weltkrieg in der Mandschurei und in Korea (Korea war zu dieser Zeit von Japan besetzt; die Mandschurei war ein Satellitenstaat, der heute ein Teil der Volksrepublik China ist).
Der einzige Filmfehler, der mir aufgefallen ist, ist der Willys Jeep, der von der Japanischen Armee benutzt wird :D
Ingsgesamt ein richtig guter, unterhaltsamer und auch einzigartiger Film, bei dem ich ohne Bedenken 5 Sterne geben kann. Ich schaue mir den Film auch gerne noch ein zweites oder drittes Mal an. :)
