THE GOOD THE BAD THE WEIRD

"The plot to The Good The Bad The Weird couldn’t be simpler. There’s a treasure map. And everybody wants it.

Scene Photo Seriously, that’s it. But I’ll elaborate a bit to increase my word count… A treasure map is being delivered aboard a train chugging across 1930’s Manchuria. Someone sends Chang-yi Park aka The Bad (Byung-hun Lee) to steal it. Someone else sends Do-won Park aka The Good (Woo-sung Jung) to get it first. Before either of those two can act however, Tae-goo Yoon aka The Weird (Kang-ho Song) unwittingly takes the map while robbing the luxury train car. Tae-goo gets away with the other two in pursuit, and they’re soon joined by miscellaneous thugs and rapscallions, Korean independence fighters, and possibly an entire division of the Japanese army. The remainder of the film is basically a mad, mad, mad, mad Korean western filled with fantastically elaborate gunfights, set pieces, and showdowns. If that sounds like the film will leave you wanting for something more substantial I promise you that won’t be the case. The action is fast, frequent, and often times extremely inventive, and it’s paired with a perfectly balanced sense of humor that at times is laugh out loud funny."--Rob Hunter, Film School Rejects
