Member GwaiLoMoFo Posted March 2, 2008 Member Share Posted March 2, 2008 Just watched this action/black comedy from Korea. Read alot of mixed reviews about it but I thought it was pretty damn good. Action was more realistic and brutal, not stylized. Kind of similar to Karate Kid... if Mr Miyagi was a psychotic grizzled criminal on the lam. Worth a watch.

Member Chinatown Kid Posted March 6, 2008 Member Share Posted March 6, 2008 Sounds interesting, I'm gonna have to check this film out. I know you said the fighting was more realistic instead of stylized, but what type of Martial Arts was used in the fights? Was it like a MMA style or more like TKD or Karate?

Member GwaiLoMoFo Posted March 6, 2008 Author Member Share Posted March 6, 2008 Style, hmm..... not much style. I would have to say street brawling, they never really discussed partiucular styles. More so "anything goes" type of fighting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Mark Pollard Posted May 22, 2008 Member Share Posted May 22, 2008 REVIEW: The Art of Fighting (2006) Fending off bullies by any means is the subject of director Shin Han-sol’s dryly comedic actioner THE ART OF FIGHTING, starring 3-IRON’s Jae Hee and Baek Yun-sik (SAVE THE GREEN PLANET). It’s essentially a Korean KARATE KID with more bite, smarmy black humor and an uneven mixture of reality-based and absurd fight choreography from VOLCANO HIGH action director Lee Eung-jun.
