Anyone seen this?

I just saw it tonight and was pretty impressed. the hallways fight scene couldn't have been done better, and that's just one scene in a movie filled with awesome bits and twisted pieces.

highly recomended

Seen it, loved it. I loved the, "So does fifteen years of imaginary martial arts training pay off?" (or whatever he said, been awhile since I've seen it).

Brutal.

Yeah amazing film... I don't think I've ever been as effected/shocked by a revel as in that movie...

I started a thread on the old forum about this just after it came out, and got a few people interested. I heard theyre remaking it in Hollywood so I urge you to see the original before they ruin it and sanitise it because YOU KNOW they will. This was the best film of 2003/4 and didnt win a truckload of prizes for nothing. The DVD is well worth buying. You can get the 2DVD version at BlahDVD in the UK for £7.99, though there's a 3 disc version floating about.

More info here.

The big fight sequence in the hall when Day-Su pulled the guy's teeth was done on the first take and 2 guys had to be sent to the hospital. Amazing stuff, no?

My friend Marc (aka Sappy's Curry from the old board) can't wait for the third installment of this vengeance series called "Sympathy for Lady Vengeance". He's flying to New York just for the premiere.

Anyone see "Mr. Vengeance"?

The above link says the hallway scene took three days. I suspect the first take rumour was a misunderstanding of the actual scene being an uninterrupted shot.
