Kim Jee-won's 2008 film The Good, the Bad and the Weird flips the script on the typical remake narrative with this South Korean version of a Western classic. In 1930s' Manchuria, an encounter on a train triggers an epic crusade for a treasure map, prompting a marathon chase in hot pursuit of the loot. This film expertly borrows from the spaghetti Western, as well as adding their own brand of slapstick violence and jaw dropping practical stunts. Come along and get weird with this unapologetically extra and entertaining ride of a film!
