Member KenHashibe Posted October 24, 2015 Member Share Posted October 24, 2015 I found this clip on YouTube a long while ago, but I still have no idea what this movie's called. If anyone knows the name of the movie or even if you recognize any of the actors from the clip, please let me know. It looks like a movie that I'd like. Thanks in advance!

Moderator One Armed Boxer Posted October 24, 2015 Moderator Share Posted October 24, 2015 Hey KenHashibe...unfortunately I don't know the title for this one. However what I do know is - the girls who run out of the room, at the beginning of the clip, are all wearing hanboks, and the drums on stage are also Korean, so you're definitely looking for a Korean production. Hope that helps to narrow down your search! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member ShawAngela Posted October 24, 2015 Member Share Posted October 24, 2015 Yes, that's what I was about to say : the dresses of the girls made me think of Korean ones and the guys' costumes make me think of Japanese ones, so, maybe it's another movie telling a story of Korean versus Japanese. It looks like an interesting movie and this scene is very funny. I hope that someone will be able to give us the title of this movie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member KenHashibe Posted October 25, 2015 Author Member Share Posted October 25, 2015 @One Armed Boxer @ShawAngela Thanks for the help. Since this clip came from a Chinese video website, I immediately thought this was a Chinese movie. Also, I can't really identify the language that the characters were speaking in either. All of the info that I have about the movie is that it's very likely a Korean production and that it was released in/after 1976. Also, someone on YouTube said that movie is called "Silly", but I can't really find anything still. I feel like I'm a step closer to finding it now. Thanks again for the help.

Member Morgoth Bauglir Posted October 25, 2015 Member Share Posted October 25, 2015 That was very weird Ken, but I liked it. It's definitely Korean. The guy in the white suit is Kwan Il Soo I'm pretty sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member KenHashibe Posted October 25, 2015 Author Member Share Posted October 25, 2015 After one quick search of "Kung Fu Ballet Movie" in Chinese, I found the clip on YouKu. From there, I read in the comments that the movie's called 密令客续集 which directly translates to "Candidate Passenger Sequel"(?). It is an out-of-print Korean movie presumably from the mid-late 70's. I found this video which supposedly has the entire movie, but I can't verify because it says that I need to enter some password to watch it. http://v.youku.com/v_show/id_XODkzNzI5MjUy.html (Movie)http://v.youku.com/v_show/id_XNTIxNDU4NzA4.html?from=s1.8-1-1.2 (Clip) No idea what the Korean title is, but still I'm still a whole lot closer to finding the movie. That was very weird Ken, but I liked it. It's definitely Korean. The guy in the white suit is Kwan Il Soo I'm pretty sure. That helps a lot too. Thanks, Morgoth! Do you know anywhere where I can find his filmography? Does anyone know where I can find a Korean equivalent to HKMDb? Thanks again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I'd agree, the person who said that is probably going off the same logic I was - the music playing is 'A Fifth of Beethoven' by Walter Murphy and the Big Apple Band, which was released in 1976. That helps a lot too. Thanks, Morgoth! Do you know anywhere where I can find his filmography? Does anyone know where I can find a Korean equivalent to HKMDb? Thanks again.

The poster for the movie has the ballerina girl on it. I have no idea where I can find a copy of it, but at least we've finally found the title. Thanks!

Member KenHashibe Posted October 25, 2015 Author Member Share Posted October 25, 2015 Oh, no way! Don Wang stars in the original Secret Agents from 1975. I think I need to find both of these films now.http://www.kmdb.or.kr/eng/vod/vod_basic.asp?nation=K&p_dataid=02944 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderator One Armed Boxer Posted October 27, 2015 Moderator Share Posted October 27, 2015 Now I really need to watch these movies, but I still have no idea where to find them. To watch these would most likely involve venturing into the world of Korean kung-fu VHS collecting, which has quite a considerable sized niche market. There's a group on Facebook called KUNG FU MOVIES TEMPLE which has several members who are Korean VHS collectors, that would probably be your best starting point.

Member odioustrident Posted October 27, 2015 Member Share Posted October 27, 2015 There is VHS rip of this floating around somewhere. I will try to make it more available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member KenHashibe Posted October 29, 2015 Author Member Share Posted October 29, 2015 @One Armed Boxer Cool. I wasn't expecting these Korean VHS's to be readily available. I wonder if some of these treasures will ever make it to DVD. There is VHS rip of this floating around somewhere. I will try to make it more available.Awesome! I'd be very happy about that. There simply aren't enough movies with Kung Fu Ballet these days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a few friends who know Korean who could translate for me. Of course, I would do this if I could get the opportunity to watch these movies/if I knew how to make a DVD. Maybe someday. Actually, even without subs, I'd love to watch these movies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator One Armed Boxer Posted January 10, 2016 Moderator Share Posted January 10, 2016 Hey @KenHashibe, not sure if you're still looking for this one, but a Korean VHS collector over at the Kung Fu Movies Temple page on Facebook posted that he picked this one up today. Happy to pass on his contact details to you if you'd like to pursue it, just let me know & I'll send you a PM. - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
