Korean writer and director Kim Ji-woon shows he's having a blast with this entertaining oriental western that pays homage to the genre, specially the film it borrowed its title. Manchuria is the wild west frontier where Korean outlaws, Chinese bandits and Japanese army chase for a treasure map that accidentally falls in the hands of Yoon Tae-goo, the weird of the title. A wild chase starts where every body's chasing him including the good guy and the bad guy. Korean superstar Song Kang-ho is hilarious as Yoon Tae-goo who provides the comic relief. Jung Woo-sung is dashing as the good guy while Lee Byung-hun makes a stylish but menacing bad guy. Who thought that oriental western could be so much fun. YRCinema's coverage of films on DVD.
