"The good fellow and the bad fellow, the fellow who is strange." That's the literal machine translation for Kim Ji-woon's wild and woolly 좋은 놈, 나쁜 놈, 이상한 놈 / The Good, the Bad, the Weird (2008), based on a certain Sergio Leone 60s classic with similar name. The premise: basically the same as in the Leone version, only set in Manchuria during the 1930s, with Japanese forces on the take and everyone else in the region reeling, fleeing or plundering. Love the idea -- fantastic! I'll be checking it out later this month.
