YesAsia Editorial Description

The Ryoo brothers have team up for the hit action comedy Arahan. Ryoo Seung Wan (The City of Violence) takes the director's chair, while Ryoo Seung Bum (Crying Fist) slips into the role of the justice-seeking cop Sang Hwan. Trying to rid the world of criminals, he shuns no efforts to unravel the mysteries of Taoist power. Luck is on his side as The Seven Masters appear out of thin air and train him to become a helping hand for hero Eui Jin. Just when Sang Hwan believes that everything will change for the better, Evil Lord Heung Un manages to escape from his prison. Can Sang Hwan's new powers aid Eui Jin stop Heung Un's evil intentions?

Winner of the grand prize at the 2004 Puchon International Fantastic Film Festival, Arahan now arrives on Blu-ray for the first time ever. This English-subtitled Blu-ray edition comes with two audio commentaries, an introduction to martial art films from the 1960s to the 1980s, deleted scenes (with commentary), making of, stage events, and trailers.

때는 바야흐로 2003년.. 고성능 카메라폰과 MP3, 디지털카메라, 펜티엄 4, X-게임, 화상채팅과 혼전동거가 젊은이들을 사로잡던 서울 도심 한복판........

마천루 속에 거하는 `절대내공` 생활도인들
고층 빌딩에 아슬아슬하게 매달려 유리를 닦는 청소부, 무거운 보따리를 자유자재로 이고 다니는 할머니, 아무도 모르게 거대한 도심 속에 평화를 유지하는 도인들이 살고 있다. 한 분야에서 오랫동안 자신의 기를 갈고 닦은 생활 도인들, 보이지 않는 곳에서 이루어지는 이들의 활약이 세상을 평화롭게 이끌고 있다는데......

`열혈순경` 상환과 `아라치` 의진
자신의 힘을 나쁜 곳에 쓰는 사람들을 혼내주고 싶어 순경이 된 철부지 상환. 그러나 조직폭력배의 발아래 무릎 꿇어야 하는 비굴한 순경이 그의 현실이었다. 어느 날, 좌절한 그에게 갑자기 다가온 사람들. “자네는 마루치가 될 재목이야! 장풍도 가르쳐 준다니까?” 그들의 이름은 칠선이라고 했다.
그리고 `아라치` 의진과의 첫만남도 그렇게 시작되었다!!!

평범한 순경, `마루치`가 되고 싶다?!?
이상한 사람들의 말을 믿을 수는 없지만, `아라치`라는 예쁜 소녀 의진의 말에 상환은 `마루치`가 되기로 결심한다. 그러나, 가르쳐 주겠다던 장풍과 공중부양은 뒤로 하고,
부황 뜨고, 청소하기로 하루하루를 보내는데... 그즈음 칠선들에 의해 봉해진 절대악 `흑운`이 봉인에서 풀려나고.. 세상은 그 어느때보다 `마루치`의 탄생을 기다리는데.....

과연 평범한 청년 상환은 `아라치`와 힘을 합쳐 세상과 평화로운 기를 지켜낼 수 있을 것인가.

Professional Review of "Arahan (Blu-ray) (First Press Limited Edition) (Korea Version)"

November 17, 2004

This professional review refers to ARAHAN (VCD) (Korea Version)
If you like movies with secret masters, ancient villains, fearsome fu-skills, and buckets of butt-kicking action, then look no further: Arahan is here.

The film opens with five of the Seven Masters, bemoaning the fact that they've got no new disciples to learn the hidden arts. You can tell the tone of the movie immediately: several of the Masters are wearing daggy tracky dacks, and one smokes continuously. This movie does not take itself too seriously.

When we meet the two leads, they too confound our expectations of how these things should work. Eui Jin (Yoon So-yi) is a convenience store assistant and freelance thief-taker whose pretty face often wears an expression of withering contempt. Sang Hwan (Ryoo Seung Bum) is a hapless police officer in frantic pursuit of the same thief, and seems to have "Doofus" tattooed all over him.

As a cultural aside, you may need to know something about how the Korean Police works. All young men have to do national service, and some serve that time in the police force. This means that the attitude of many Koreans towards these young policemen is totally contemptuous. The uniform they're forced to wear only makes a bad situation worse.

So, we have our courageous but ineffective cop in panting pursuit of a thief, and rounding the corner just as Eui Jin launches her Power Blast. Probably (TM). Impressive, except that Eui Jin has never been good at aiming, and the blast bypasses the thief and knocks out Sang Hwan. This indignity is only compounded when he wakes to find himself stripped to his undies and a-bristle with acupuncture needles. Inevitably, after the initial shock (and much dancing around in panic with the needles waving like a field of grain), Sang Hwan decides to learn the arts and A Hero Is Born.

Of course every Hero needs a Villain, and this one is plenty villainous: shaggy hair, a big sword, and a tendency to suck the life out of pawn shop owners. His determined and ruthless evil (or perhaps I should say "eeeevuuullllll") is set against the desperate goodness of Mu Un (Ahn Sung Ki). Ahn seems to enjoy something a little more light-hearted than his usual roles, and presents his character with a deftness of touch that stops the film descending into farce.

It's not a perfect film, but it has a lot to recommend it: a fine cast, plenty of fights and a splash of humour, interlaced with some subtly conveyed moral points. Now if only Eui Jin could get her aim right...

Good with some flaws. Customer Review Rated Bad 6 - 6 out of 10
Lot's of action - Check

Good Effects - Check

Grumpy Martial Arts experts teaching super powers to a bumbling cop - Check

Storyline - err whoops.

Good fun and worth a watch Arahan is only let down by the lack of much of a story beyond the usual 'that guy is bad go kick him in the head'. If more time had been spent with the masters and more explanation given to some parts of the film I would have probably given in another star.

Very watchable if a little light on story.

Too much chi Customer Review Rated Bad 4 - 4 out of 10
I went into this movie not expecting much, and I was suprised at the decent amount of action I got out of it. For the most part, the fight scenes were decently choreographed and the special effects were well integrated into the movie. However, I felt that the overall storyline was... well I don't want to call it predictable, but it was definetly not original and at times it was downright cliche. I also didn't find the lead actor very interesting. He seems more like the kind of person who would do well in a supporting role, but in the lead he just sort of came off as relatively bland (but a lot of that blame probably can rest on the script because his acting wasn't that bad). I sort of wish they had more humor added to the movie, I think I laughed like, once. As for the final fight scene, I really thought it dragged on. I kept catching myself looking away.

Bottom Line: This movie has some cookie cutter comedy, special FXed fight scenes, an interesting but cliche storyline, and a pretty straightforward (in an uninteresting way) main character. If you are looking for a movie with some good fight scenes that you won't remember in a week, this is for you.

Disappointed Customer Review Rated Bad 4 - 4 out of 10
This movie's quite famous, but it's not that good. I was expecting more of it, but until the movie ends, I didn't find anything more than the usual fighting scenes.
There were good laughing materials in it, but that's not enough for me to call it a good movie.

I won't recommend this to Korean movie lovers.

A bit above average stuff! Customer Review Rated Bad 6 - 6 out of 10
The film has some nice action/martial arts sequences (when it does finally gets to it... WAY PAST THE MID-POINT OF THE MOVIE!). My main complaints are probably the use of WAY TOO MUCH "wire-fu" in the last couple of fights and it takes TOO LONG to get the action going. Also, the plot feels a bit convoluted. What kept me awake was looking forward to glimpses of the lead actress (Yoon So-Yi... she's one pretty lady!).
