If you don't count Spaghetti Westerns, this is definitely my favorite foreign Western

Reviewed in the United States on May 7, 2018

Verified Purchase

If you don't count Spaghetti Westerns, this is definitely my favorite foreign Western. It takes place during the Japanese occupation of Manchuria in the 1930's, right before the start of WWII. Despite the title, it is NOT a ripoff of The Good, the Bad and the Ugly. The plots are only slightly similar, as there is a good guy, a bad guy, and a guy who is somewhere in between, and they're all looking for treasure.

Great action sequences, great cinematography, and a great cast. Plenty of laugh-out-loud moments. The actor who plays the "bad" guy is very recognizable, as he shows up in a lot of American movies these days. A serious throwback to the Hollywood days of old; there are plenty of cool stunts and very real explosions, instead of it being all CG like most American movies today. There is limited use of CGI, such as the bird of prey at the beginning of the movie, which is really the only thing that bothered me. The big chase sequence toward the end of the movie is reminiscent of the final chase in The Road Warrior. Rival gangs, the main characters and the Japanese military all get in the mix.

Overall I enjoyed this movie so much that I have watched it several times. I had it on DVD when it was first released and I recently bought the Bluray. I have seen this movie show up on more than one "Greatest 50 Westerns" lists. Don't miss this movie if you enjoy Westerns! I'm not sure if there is an English dub; I've only watched with subtitles.

Pulpy, ridiculous, charming, over-the-top fun

Reviewed in the United States on September 26, 2019

Doesn't hurt that both the Good and the Bad embody two equally pleasing variations on masculine beauty. The Weird is, well, maybe not-so-conventionally attractive, but he has by far the most personality and certainly runs away with every scene he's in - plus he convincingly sells you on every contradiction and plot twist that goes into his character while being super charmingly funny. I love Lee Byung-hun, but Song Kang-ho is the one who pulls off playing the role upon whom the entire movie plot rests.

GREAT fight scenes and action set pieces. The final chase across the desert, with five(?) groups with their own agendas (and their own wildly different modes of transportation) converging on one point, is frickin' glorious, in no small part because the DOP and editors film it more like a classic Western rather than like a chopped-together, chaotically oppressive Michael Bay set piece. Or even like a motion-sickness-inducing shaky cam Jason Bourne fight, bless his heart. No, we get decently long takes, plenty of practical stunts, and lots of character work still happening during the scene. It's so satisfying.

What is this?

Reviewed in the United States on February 7, 2020

I guess you could consider this an almost shot-for-shot recreation of "The Good, the Bad, and The Ugly", if all characters were Korean. And the movie were far more action-oriented?

This movie is bizarre to a western observer, with Spider-man-esque gunfight scenes, weird villains, and a bad guy who is essentially an inescapable force of nature.

It is entertaining...though I found myself asking "Wait...what?" multiple times. It may be better explained in many circumstances, but...

Overall, yes, I recommend it for a watch. Madcap enough to be extremely entertaining. You might not care after the first, which I wouldn't blame you for, but...the second is the better.

This is Awesome

Reviewed in the United States on August 3, 2014

Awesome, Awesome....Awesome! What can I say, this is an A-W-E-S-O-M-E Movie! Not only is the movie incredible but so is all the extras. They go into great lengths to explain how it is made and extraordinary detail on the costumes, animals, the actors, the behind the scenes people... If that isn't enough, then it is worth watching again. Highly, highly recommended. Lots of action and funny too.

They do things in here that Hollywood does not and puts American film making to shame. We are this pro-Second Amendment country and the South Koreans get it right. They know their firearms, and when they are fired, they don't all sound the same; different calibers and types of firearms go "BOOM" differently and you hear that in this film. For those of us you have had firearms training, understand the proper ways to handle guns. American films/shows almost always, good or bad characters, hold their firearms wrong and rarely reload. This film, you see a character holding a gun wrong and paying the consequences, and not only reloading, but also doing so on horseback. You cannot give this movie enough stars, the authenticity is fantastic.

Wild action comedy adventure through Manchuria

Reviewed in the United States on December 10, 2020

Verified Purchase

This is a Korean action-comedy set in Manchuria in the 1930s. A thief named Yoon Tae-goo (Song Kang-ho) finds a map he thinks leads to a buried treasure from the Qing Dynasty. The problem is everyone else wants it. As the title suggests the inspiration for the movie was Sergio Leone’s The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly.

The first thing the movie has going for it is some over the top action sequences. There’s one in a market where they are flying around on ropes and criss-crossing roofs and into buildings that’s very exciting. There’s comedy thrown in there as well such as when Tae-goo kills two people by stabbing them in the butt. This makes for a rip romping adventure and a lot of fun.

Amazon.... not the choice for the foreign film lover!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on September 2, 2019

Verified Purchase

This film is excellent...if you've not watched any Korean films you're missing out... then again since Amazon took over Lovefilm I'm not surprised! Their choice is crap... I used to subscribe to Lovefilm for the huge choice in foreign language films and TV series... miles better than the Hollywood pap currently churned out... for example.... Engrenages (Spirals).... a French Cop series.... superb... anyway, since Amazon took over these have mostly disappeared...

Asian Western

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on August 10, 2012

Verified Purchase

Thought I'd give this a go after it being recommended..

I used to love Westerns when I was a lot younger, even the 'Spaghetti' Westerns held me enthralled..!

The Good, The Bad, The Weird, was a sort of spin off, of the The Good, The Bad and The Ugly, and quite brutal in some scenes, but in a complete contrast to being hilarious in others. ( will never forget "The Weird", locking his Granny in a cupboard to look after the map he'd stolen and she was still there two days later)

The scrapes the three main actors get into keeps you entertained throughout the film and although it was supposedly set in the 1930s "The Bad's" hair style looks modern and not a hair out of place..

The film is a bit on the long side, but enjoyed it as I'm biased as I enjoy Asian Films and found the ending a little strange as the three of them are at a Mexican Stand Off in the desert, trying to shoot each other. How they can survive this, is beyond me, but at the end of the film, it looks as if two of them do..
Would recommend if you like silly films..:-)

Lots of good, no bad, and a little weird

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on September 20, 2010

Verified Purchase

Really enjoyed this movie. Fantastic direction and photographic technique - checkout the opening credit sequence around the hurtling steam train with transition from external to internal shot. Loved the all-action nature of the film, and the wryness of the script. The characters are very well portrayed, and the film has a manga-esque quality with its eclectic mix of tech and primitivity, as well as costume design and characerisation. The soundtrack is tremendous, and of note is the way the film highlights the different sounds of firing guns (of which there are plenty) from the timpani-esqe field gun of the japanese army to the short whip-crack of hand held pistol and mechanical jangle of automatic weaponry. The credit sequence closing the movie is the first time for a long time I have sat through an entire closing sequence and this was due to the strength of the music at the end of the film, wondefully jazzy number with hammond organ flourishes. Finally of note is the desert chase sequence which goes on and on and is all conducted at a high speed over a seeming endless desert plain. This is the 2 disc set and its worth watching the "making of" featurette to see how difficult the conditions endured by the actors and film crew were during the making of this film. Absolutely wonderful, a tad violent in a Korean kind of way - would not recommend for under 15s - but otherwise a must-see. Very highly rated!!

Wel; they certainly got the "weird" bit right.l

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on November 29, 2012

Like a lot of other reviewers, I bought this because I used to like "spaghetti" westerns. However, this effort put me under a great deal of strain, from the opening melee on a well mocked up train, to the downright confusing ending(s), not to mention the almost non stop slaughter every few minutes.

A big negative for me was the subtitling, which flashed on and off the screen far too quickly for my ageing mincers, whilst I began to have difficulties in trying to sort out who was who. All in all an impressive effort - especially the incredibly well thought out and executed chase in the second half of the film, but, for me, the ambiguous ending ruined it.

If you are/were as confused as me, whatever you do, don't watch the other alternative endings on disc two. Far too baffling.

A well made film, but one that I won't watch again.

East Meets West

Read some of the views and decided to take a punt and purchase the item. This is the two disc vresion with a number of added features. The plot though not necessarrily the strongest does not detract from this excellent Korean film. Not an original theme and felt that there was a fusion between the Charchaters in 'Once Upon a Time In The West ' and obviously 'The Good The Bad The Ugly'. However the acting, dialogue, cinematography and qulaity of the film are outstanding. The colours and the time settings are incredible. This has very funny moments copuled with poignant moving moments. Of course there are some grotesque moments which add to the brilliance of this film. All world film addicts should watch this with pleasure and really rubber stamps South Korea's mark as a major high quality movie maker. The Good The Bad The Wierd just what a good quality movie should be about.
