Member Gwai LO Posted January 6, 2014 Member Share Posted January 6, 2014 Did you already buy from this Korean site ? Do they accept paypal ? I sent them a message, but still haven't got any answer... Thanks for any information. I emailed them also with no response. I would never ever trust putting my CC info with them.. Best bet is to buy from Jamal. He has people here say he is legit and I trust these guys opinion. Would be nice to have an official copy but I've been looking everywhere! That site wanted 60€ for two DVDs that's like 81 usd nooooooo way! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member DragonClaws Posted July 5, 2019 Member Share Posted July 5, 2019 (edited) Quote Take, for example, the very first sequence found in Jung Ki-Mo and Kim Eung-Suk’s Order No. 027. We witness an elite military troupe preparing themselves for battle with vertiginous leaping kicks and target practice before we see an insanely dangerous stunt in which three soldiers perform choreographed somersaults over the top of a moving car. This level of athleticism is mind blowing to witness. A central fight sequence mid-way through the movie replicates the intensity of the film’s opening over an elongated piece of action which recalls some of the finesse of the glory days of early Hollywood – it is as if Buster Keaton and Jackie Chan teamed up to create a deliriously exciting piece of slapstick.

Member De Ming Li Posted July 8, 2019 Member Share Posted July 8, 2019 My gut feeling is that North Korea is potentially a treasure trove of cinema, if one can look past all the politics/propaganda and judge them on their own merits. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you know the English title of the North Korean movie I posted?. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member De Ming Li Posted July 8, 2019 Member Share Posted July 8, 2019 Unfortunately it seems to be just called "Pyongyang Nalpharam" with no exposure to the wider Western world, so couldn't find any English titles. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It been fully subtitled in English for the dialogue, odd for them not to give it some kind of a.k.a title or close translation. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nalpharam if I remember my digging was a predecessor of what would be Taekwondo. The main characters are named Taek and Kyon, who would create the form Taekkyon, which would develop into Taekwondo. Something along the lines of that. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member wmcguire18 Posted April 7, 2022 Member Share Posted April 7, 2022 The film HONG KIL-DONG that's being referenced a lot here is definitely worth a watch. It was tipped to me ages ago by a Russian emigree who knew it as the only kung fu movie you were allowed to watch in the Soviet Union. Here's a Letterboxd from ya boy: https://letterboxd.com/will_mcguire/film/the-avenger-with-a-flute/ Pyongyang Naphalram is less entertaining. I've never seen the military one. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
