      Dragon Wars: D-War--An Ancient Mythology Movie

      In an ancient Korean myth and legend, humans are guarded by a race of giant pythons called Imoogi. Every 500 years of reincarnation, the gods of the upper world will select a god python with the greatest contribution from Imogen and reward him with a dragon ball (Yeouijoo). With the dragon ball god python, it is possible to transform into a real dragon, possessing the divine power to benefit the earth and reach heaven. One of...

      dragon

      The film begins to tell a legend with splashing ink landscape, very oriental style. If you watch too many Hollywood movies, you will be very sensitive to any oriental elements, just like a cup of tea after drinking too much alcohol.
          In order to reward Imoogi who did good deeds, God gave them wish-fulfilling beads and turned them into dragons. But God seems to be very irresponsible. It doesn't matter if it is given to the wishful pearl, and it doesn't care about the dragon's hand that...

      Chinese dragon in Korean coat

      Leaving aside how incoherent and far-fetched his plot is, just talking about South Korea's cultural aggression against China is enough to make me disdain for this movie. Why would a dragon in Chinese mythology be said to be a Korean dragon, and also tell a baseless Korean myth to show that it was indeed their dragon. There is also an old man who flew over the water, obviously borrowing from our Qinggong floating on the water. You must understand that since it is a myth, it means that there is...

      very sexy very powerful

      I originally thought that King of Kung Fu was the worst movie of the year, but today I chose this one for the half-price movie ticket, just for the word "dragon".
      Myth, science fiction? After reading it, I realized that it was just a product of Korean lust and American high-tech.

      I won't say much about the content. It's really boring. The monsters fighting in it are very similar to the opening introduction of "Onimusha" endorsed by Takeshi Kaneshiro, as well as those warriors in...

      Once again challenged my ability to bear! !

      I watched this movie in front of the big screen, and when I saw the "showbox" in the title, I knew it was a Korean movie, (~_~) speechless!
          After reading it, one word is "rotten", two words "helpless", three words "nonsensical", and four words "superior garbage"! Once again challenged my ability to bear.
          That antique shop should be used with "King of Kung Fu". It is better to say that it is an ancient legend that aliens invaded the earth. I did not expect that the US military...

    Behind the scenes gags
