Guest Chinatown Kid Posted August 19, 2006 Share Posted August 19, 2006 Seen this Korean film at YesAsia and it was described as a tournament type film where different martial artists rangeing from Taekwondo, Kung Fu, Wu Shu, etc. compete against each other for some type of prize. Can anybody that's seen this comment on the fight scenes and tell me if their well choreographed? Also, is the story decent? Any info at all would be appreciated.

Guest Knockabout Posted August 19, 2006 Share Posted August 19, 2006 The plot sounds like something I'd like as well, but apparently is isn't as good as it could be.. Old tread Perhaps somebody have seen it since then, and can commend further 8o Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Chinatown Kid Posted August 19, 2006 Share Posted August 19, 2006 Thanks Knockabout, I had forgot all about that old thread, hell I had even posted in it! :lol Looks like most people's opinions were negative on this film, guess this is one I should skip. :\ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest kung fu 750 Posted August 19, 2006 Share Posted August 19, 2006 Hi I have this dvd and it's an ok movie but i have seen better martial arts movies. It looks like an amature film filmed with a hand held cam corder. Filmed out side as to save money. There is a lot of fighting in it but it is not very theatrical. The martial artists acting in it do a good job but still looks like a home movie. Ron from Kansas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member kokuryuha Posted September 30, 2015 Member Share Posted September 30, 2015 Now here's a movie that either escaped people's attention or they just forgot to mention it.Please allow me to bequeath to you this diamond in the rough of a movie Geochilmaru.This movie is a korean production and it shows that they too can hold their own with the Hongkies,Japanese,and Thais.Here's the rundown...An online challenge has been made by a mysterious benefactor to noteworthy martial artists and fighters alike.Comprised of eight masters in their distinctive disciplines consisting of the following...kung-fu,tae kwon do,karate,muay thai,wushu,streetfighting,judo,and kickboxing.The beauty of this movie is that the cast are all real life martial artists and that there are no wires involving the stunts and fighting here.If you like realism in your movie fights...look no further.They give up it like a victim at gunpoint.The director,Kim Jin Sung came from literally out of nowhere with this low budget,TREASURE.That's right.This is like the Blair witch project of the martial world.Tight choreography coupled with the cast to pull it off along with a decent storyline and guess what? You got yourself a movie that's worth watching alone or with your clique/company of choice.Is it worth keeping? I wouldn't be wasting my time or yours my brethen by posting if it wasn't...? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderator One Armed Boxer Posted February 3, 2023 Moderator Share Posted February 3, 2023 This one has been on my to-watch list pretty much since it was released, and recently I finally got around to checking it out (it only took close to 20 years). I gave it the full review treatment over at COF - https://cityonfire.com/geochilmaru-the-showdown-2005-review/ 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
