Filmmaker Kim Jee-woon (A Tale of Two Sisters) set his sights on new frontiers and spiced them up with his rollicking kimchi western The Good, the Bad, the Weird. Starring three of Korea’s biggest stars, Kim Jee-woon crafted an audacious action epic sweeping across the Manchurian plains.

Set in the 1930s, three gun-toting Korean gunfighters converge on a train with different objectives, but after an explosive altercation their goals converge – track down a map leading to an unfathomable treasure. The ‘Good’ is bounty hunter Park Dowon (Jung Woo-sung, 12.12: The Day), who is chasing down the ‘Bad’, the ruthless bandit Park Chang-yi (Lee Byung-hun, A Bittersweet Life). Park is rumored to be the notorious ‘Finger Cutter’.

Meanwhile, wily thief Yoon Tae-goo (Song Kang-ho, Parasite), the ‘Weird’, is on the hunt for anything he can get his hands on. During the commotion, backs are stabbed, fingers are cut, and bullets fly as this dangerous trio blast their way through the desert in search of untold riches.

Kim Jee-woon’s resurrection of the Manchurian Western was the biggest and most ambitious production ever undertaken in Korea at the time. Arrow Video’s release is presented in 4K with numerous features listed below.
