Yes, this one's a touch older than most of what Canuck DVD imprint Evokative Films has been picking up so far - Parking, Adrift in Tokyo, Hazard and more are already on the slate - but Crying Fist is, in my opinion, the best film Korea's Ryoo Seung-Wan has to his name and the lack of distribution here in North America has always confused me. But it goes undistributed no more as the ink is just drying on a Canadian distribution deal that will finally see the film arrive on these shores.
I am so ready for this! I have been looking for this movie for 7 years! I had acquired a bootleg version as a gift (weird, I know) and the DVD was incomplete and ended in a climatic scene. I am very excited to hear that it's going to be distributed in North America now. How long do you think it will take for it to be out on the street, as in store shelves wise?
bought the korean dvd right after I saw a screening of Oldboy years ago. great flick.
