Yeah. I have it. It's a great movie. Lot's of action and Matrix movements. Although, I think the martial arts could've been a little better.

I wouldn't say it's the best anime-imitation movie, but there are a lot of subtle things when being compared.

School kids, martial arts, superpowers (in this case, Ki like DBZ), and some crazy supporting characters.

There are lots of other Asian live action movies out there that are as far out as this though, but this one seems to stick out in my mind a little more than others.

Versus

I have this movie too. It's like Highlander meets Desperado with zombies, but takes place in a sacred forest.

Cool movie. Lots of guns, swords, flying trenchcoats, blood, (a little) martial arts, and of course, gore (if you don't mind it.) You can get the R1 release by Media Blasters at:www.deepdiscountdvd.com for around $21. You should check it out just for the heck of it. Wink

I really liked Returner, it's kinda like Matrix meets Desperado with some time travel thrown in for color and Transformers for flavor. Best part is the jumbo jet dragon.

A friend of mine was obsessed with whether or not my DVD had that dub on it. Apparently, he says it was dubbed by hip-hop artists or something like that.

The version I have has excellent subtitles. I don't think I spotted a single grammar mistake. However, since I don't speak Korean, I'm not sure on the translations. No timing errors or anything else though.
