Title: Fear the UNLIMITED POWER of Korean cinema

It's a Korean version of The Good, The Bad and the Ugly (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OzNnCK5cd8Q).

I feel happier just knowing this exists.

That may even be cooler than the original.  And on IFC films, no less.

So, an Italian film about the American wild west remade by Koreans. Makes perfect sense.  :)

The trailer looked kind of fun.

Apparently, there was a genre of "Manchurian westerns" in South Korea in the 1970s -  they were set along China's border with Korea in the 1930's, during the era of Japanese occupation that made the area ripe pickings for outlaws, carpetbaggers and any opportunist on the make. In short the cast of your average Western.
