Anyone knows where i can get this fabulous show? (wif english subtitles)

watched it in the cinema, want to own it.... Carries the humanist tones of LA GRANDE ILLUSION... apparently it was so poignant that even the head honcho of NORTH KOREA requested for a copy!!!

Hold your breath a little longer.....

Word is that this will get a Korean DVD release in January 2002.From a new company called CJ entertainment.Expect some extra goodies too as Korean DVD"s these days are usually packed with them...........

Ditto Big Dude-I've heard the same from http://www.koreanfilm.org/htdocs/dcf...mID2/39.html#4 (sometime in January, R3).

GoPeglegs!
my BASIC mantra: IF JSADVD=R3 THEN BUY=MALATA

thats FANTASTIC news!!! Any idea about the Extras?

is there a website then??? hope it gets the 2-DVD SE treatment a la SHIRI!!!!

Seems that Korea has created a fine balance of STYLE & SUBSTANCE....

Can't wait to get my hands on this one.

Just placed a order with Pokerindustries for.

Never been quite familiar wif korean films.... only watched IL MARE(i like it), SHIRI(its ok. predictable Action/Blockbuster) & JSA(i like it best) before..... so i need recommendations.... sumthing unconventional, art-house, "different"(u got wat i mean).... would be nice.....

looking towards the short films.... wats BESAME MUCHO ("Be-sa-me.... Besame Mucho.... Como si fuera..." hee) about???



oh. ****MERRY CHRISTMAS OR/&{} HAPPY HOLIDAYS!!! ****

The Korean DVDs I have:

Christmas In August - romantic drama - Excellent!
This is released by Edko of Hong Kong

Jakarta - action comedy/drama - Excellent! 3 groups plan to rob a bank at the same time. Very unpredictable with many twists!

Shiri SE - good action movie

Bichunmoo SE - good martial arts period drama, in the mold of Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon

Art Museum By The Zoo - nice romantic drama

Memento Mori SE - a thinking man's horror drama - very good, in an arthouse way!

The Foul King - totally funny comedy about a wanna-be wrestler

No. 3 - good crime world drama (supposed to be dark comedy). Some really funny moments with this hitman leader! (The wrestler guy from The Foul King)

Attack The Gas Station - those crazy youths!

Libera Me - OK action drama about fire fighters

Nowhere To Hide - decent cops and robbers action drama
I have the US release, which is 12 mins shorter than the Korean release

Tell Me Something - pretty good suspense thriller
I have the Hong Kong release


Absolutely looking forward to releases of:
J.S.A
Musa: The Warrior

jktv,

Do you know if the Spectrum DVD of No.3 is Region coded All? The cover and some of the DVD sites say it's Region 3 but I also heard otherwise from other sites saying it's actually Region free.

Would appreciate your feedback as I plan on ordering this classic. Thanks.

I have an All Region player, so I don't know if the region coding is actually set to 3 or 0



J.T.

Just my luck.

Thanks anyways.

No. 3 is definitely R3 only. I tried playing it on my Pioneer R1 and it got rejected.
Plays fine on my Sampo though

Thanks dleedlee,

I couldn't get a clear confirmation for the longest time. Looks like I'll be sticking with my VHS copy for the meantime until I spoil myself with a Region free player.

JSA just opened in Hong Kong last week, so I think we can expect a DVD from Hong Kong in the next couple of months

It's due to come out here in Korea in the next few weeks or so....Goes without saying that it'll be anamorphic and (hopefully) have lots of extras......It's been on regular TV here about 4 months ago and the VCD is easily available......

that must be GREAT news. ok. we await ur news on JSA Big Guy!!!!

wats the specs????

I am very pleased with the HK version. Usually I get the Korean Version, if I like the HK one. However, the HK version is pretty awesome.

I need to watch this again.

Sorry to bump such an old thread, but this the best one i could find. i am essentiallhy looking for the best version of this movie with english friendly extras? I am looking at either the region 2 european version or the palm pictures region 1 version.
