I can’t begin to tell you why Typhoon helmer Min Byung-chun only directed one other film just a few years later. I can’t…because I don’t have the answer. If someone does, I’m open to learning it, and only because Natural City, his last film as of twenty years ago today, was a highlight for me during a time when I was getting hardcore into Asian films following Jackie Chan’s post-Glickenhaus U.S. resurgence in the mid-1990s.
Director Ha Won-Joon’s inaugural directorial feat with Stray Dogs invites a refreshing come back for one of the action genre’s most favored and celebrated with the return of actor Jung Doo-Hong in Fist And Furious. The actor and prolific martial arts director and choreographer to hit filmmakers like Yoon Jong-Bin (Kundo), Ryoo Seung-Wan (Arahan, No Blood No Tears, City Of Violence), Kim Jee-Woon (Illang, I Saw The Devil) and Jon Chu (G.I. Joe: Retaliation) has been nary seen on the screen save for appearing in a promotional short for Motorola with Kane Kosugi called Timeless, as well as a cameo on hit Netflix series, Sense8, and so seeing him back in his element with this first official trailer going around is definitely going to rouse the senses. And boy does a hat-tip go out to Hancinema for this lovely find!
