Arrow Video has provided a promotional video for the upcoming 4K Blu-ray release of Kim Jee-woon's The Good, the Bad, the Weird (2008), which is scheduled to arrive on the market on September 30.
Description: Genre maestro Kim Jee-woon (A Tale of Two Sisters) set his sights on new frontiers and spiced them up with his rollicking kimchi western The Good, the Bad, the Weird. Wrangling three of Korea's biggest stars, he orchestrated an audacious action epic sweeping across the dusty Manchurian plains.
In the 1930s, three gun-toting Koreans converge on a train with different objectives but after an explosive altercation they leave it with the same goal: track down a map leading to an unfathomable treasure. The 'Good' is bounty hunter Park Dowon (Jung Woo-sung, 12.12: The Day), who is chasing down the 'Bad', the ruthless bandit Park Chang-yi (Lee Byung-hun, A Bittersweet Life), rumored to be the notorious 'Finger Cutter'. Meanwhile, wily thief Yoon Tae-goo (Song Kang-ho, Parasite), the 'Weird', is on the hunt for anything he can get his hands on. Backs are stabbed, fingers are cut, and many bullets fly as this dangerous trio blast their way through the desert in search of untold riches.
This glorious resurrection of the Manchurian Western was the biggest and most ambitious production ever undertaken in Korea. Presented here in stunning 4K, experience this spicy slice of wild west mayhem as you've never seen it before.
