2008
Korea
Starring: Jae-yeong Jeong, Eun-jeong Han, and Jun-ho Heo
We all know that China invented gunpowder right? So this wonderful invention that for centuries in written history did nothing but flash Korea found a way to turn into a propellant. Korea developed the first rocket propelled arrows.
This movie is a great movie detailing the formulation of a weapon and what it can take out of a family and a nation when one is on the right path of destruction.
Between the development of the fire arrow, martial arts, Korean period outfits, and a decent story I really have to say I enjoyed this movie. Korean movies are a little difficult to follow sometimes, but this one was worth the effort. I learned quite a bit about what modern weaponry developed from by watching this movie and I truly just enjoyed the story itself!
I recommend this movie for anyone that is a weapons or martial arts fan; sure there are some slow parts, but it's not that bad if you love the first two qualifiers. Korea did historically create advanced weapons from gunpowder anyway. This movie was both entertaining if you dig Korean cinema and insightful in a slightly historic way. No matter what you're after this movie was cool.
