But can someone who has seen this film tell me who the boys with the belts were, and who they were beating?
As far as I can recall that it left a pretty good impression on me too when I watched it on youtube almost a year ago but your question my friend, reminds me an extreme need of a 2nd viewing asap. :o

It also shied away from the usual Korean tendency to weave together a story so abstruse that needs an explicit visual explanation towards its denouement. Instead, this is simply a driving movie that never lets up, with side-stories constantly interfering with our players best intents to motor on with their nefarious deeds, whether they be pimping their chicks or bashing their brains in. Heroes and villains alike are thick in character, some being richly complex and unlikeable, others hiding their filth behind a wall of believably simplicity. The action is so wonderfully authentic, spiced with occasional bumblings, that we come to appreciate each and every blow with with some well earned flinching. At times a tad gruesome and brutal, a Hollywood ending is definitely not in the cards. Merci beaucoup.

Oh, though haven't give it a watch yet but after reading your review, at the moment I'm feeling very glad that at least I have the dvd in my collection.:o

Last seen:

Hausu aka House (1977)

Weird, magical and hilarious (even the name of the characters: Mac, Sweet, Fanta, Kung Fu!:D); that makes a totally different & wonderful addition to the sub genre of Haunted House films. Loved it.

Interesting Koean ghost story set in a girl's school. Might be a bit slow for people not into Asian horror.

Restless

Romantic epic martial arts fantasy. The title doesn't really fit the film, which was certainly grand in scope.

Choclate which was pretty cool, and the first fifteen minutes of Tokyo Zombie.

Tazza: The High Rollers

The lives of high stakes card players in Korea. Stylish, at times violent, a fascinating portrayal.

Zwoti & Angra, see if you can track this one down. A real hoot to watch, mixing sci-fi with old school ninja fighting. Watched it once a long time ago on VHS, and boy am I glad I found it after all these years.

Hard Revenge Milly

This is what I like to see in a revenge/ultra-gore flick. The gore was over the top, but not silly. I like the ultra-gorey Japanese movies that have been coming out in the last 3 years or so, but some of them are so bent on being kinky that it's more silly than fun. For example Machine Girl 2's butt machine gun, or Robogeisha's vehicle transformations. I though Hard Revenge Milly would be the same, just too much silly action jammed into a 44 minute movie but I was pleasently surprised.

8/10. Recommended for fans of TGP etc. etc.
