Ryoo Seung-Wan Parodies Bond In The First DACHIMAWA LEE Teaser

Oh, man ... I’m totally of two minds on this.  On one side there is the fact that Cannes award winning Crying Fist director Ryoo Seung-Wan’s period set espionage-action-comedy-martial arts flick Dachimawa Lee is an incredibly vibrant and colorful piece of work, a playful and unique exercise in style, and I just hate that the first teaser for the film shows absolutely no footage that actually appears in the film itself.  Instead they’ve opted to shoot a mostly unrelated gag.  On the other side there’s the fact that the gag - an extended riff on James Bond - is pretty funny and very well executed.  I’ll let you have this one, Ryoo, just make sure you show us something from the actual film soon, okay?

You’ll find the teaser below the break in the Twitch Player.

    I’m a huge fan of the work of Ryoo Seung-Wan’s work but this does absolutely nothing for me. I’ll be on the side-lines till the mouth watering footage rolls in. The pop-colored retro poster above will keep me satiated for now.

    It’s the bastard child of the TAXI 3 opening credits and FROM BEIJING WITH LOVE.  This is not necessarily a bad thing.
