oneeightyone Posted September 30, 2005 Share Posted September 30, 2005 Holy christ puncher, i just picked this movie up. it's ab out a guy that gets locked up in a small prison for 15 years, framed for the murder of his wife, one day he wakes up on a roof. in a business suit, cash in his wallet and a cellphone, then given 5 days to figure out why he was kidnapped and imprisoned, so dude takes revenge on everybody involved. everyone. Not only is the plot fucking awesome. there's a fight scene that totally kicks the shit out of every fight scene ive ever seen in the history of movies that ive watched. amazing GO PICK IT UP!!! TRAILER in the trailer the part where he's fighting like 39 dudes is the best fight scene ever. damn this was a good movie, cinemetography was off the hinges as well. AWESOME APPROVED!.

mr.yuck Posted September 30, 2005 Share Posted September 30, 2005 The movie is called OLD BOY? It sounds like something i would like to view. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest imported_El Mamerro Posted September 30, 2005 Share Posted September 30, 2005 Although the movie is fucking awesome, I really fucking hated the fight scenes, ESPECIALLY the hallway one, which everyone seems to rave about. The only cool thing is that it's all done on one take, which is impressive, but it looks pretty terrible. Punches swung two feet away from faces, total wimp kicks, and just general repetitive get-beatdown-and-swarmed-then-miraculously-get-back-up shennanigans. I dunno, I wasn't feeling it, it's like they went for a hyperreal look and didn't quite make it, so the fakeness gets thrown into high relief. At least with wire-fu and choreographed stuff you KNOW it's supposed to look fake. Any fight scene in Ong Bak shits on this one. Choreographed as they were, some dudes REALLY got their grills bashed in good during filming. One dude on a motorcycle gets a flying knee to the face that actually knocked him out for a few seconds, you can see it in the extras. That said, Oldboy is an excellent movie and you should watch it.

oneeightyone Posted September 30, 2005 Author Share Posted September 30, 2005 holy fuck, i just wrote that when i put it on pause after the fightscene, just because it was that badass. the ending will fuck your brain, seriously it'll leave a fuckign hole in there. ive never had a surprise ending like this. no joke, holy shit, koreans are some ill thinking motherfuckers. i picked it up from blockbuster so yea they carry it.

Harvey Wallbanger Posted September 30, 2005 Share Posted September 30, 2005 Next on my qeue from netflix. I just watched Ong Bak last night, and I must say, that was some damn fine ass kicking. The move he pulls when he fights that first dude is ILL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Intangible Posted September 30, 2005 Share Posted September 30, 2005 korean movies have gotten waaaaay better. If you liked oldboy i suggest you watch Versus, or any Kitamura movie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest imported_b0b Posted September 30, 2005 Share Posted September 30, 2005 I really liked how the scene looked like a platform game. It is a good film. It doesn't have a fight scene, but Infernal Affairs is a good Hong Kong cop movie which feaures the guy from Oldboy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coffeedependency Posted September 30, 2005 Share Posted September 30, 2005 ^^ Scorcese is doing a dubious adaptation of Infernal Affairs. there was no one from Oldboy in Infernal Affairs. that was Tony Leung and Andy Lau. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
