Kill Bill, Volume 1
So, you’d think. Why isn’t Capoeira part of the Olympic Games?
Can’t answer that, but whatever is happening in Beijing right now, there is some place where you’ll find love for Brazil’s traditional martial art. And is it just Capoeira? Taekwondo, Jackie Chan-style megaton bursts of energy, the more “if your teeth hurt, don’t go to the dentist, I’ll knock ‘em for you” Jung Doo-Hong-ish realism, and what do you know, even some creative stunts. In this short interview we subtitled, you can see Im Soon-Il, lead of 스페어 (Spare), talk about some of the action we’ll see in the film, including b-boying techniques like the “thomas (you know that pommel horse fundamental?).” Im is a Seoul Action School alumni, and went through a harsh audition along with 80 people. So… no CG, no stuntmen, no wires, no stars who needed to be trained, no rock or hip hop trying to interfere with the mood (music is a healthy mix of traditional Korean sounds, treated with modern sensibilities, as you can hear from the trailers)… just good old fashioned ass kicking. And since it’s the Olympics, some gymnastics in the middle. Sounds yummy.
Film opens this August 28. You can find the video below the break, along with all the old trailers.

Man I can’t wait for this to drop. Is that Jeong Woo in there? Can’t tell by the hair but it looks a bit like him.

That’s him.

Man, that second trailer’s GREAT. Way better than the first one. Listen to the difference in the audio quality: it feels like the first teaser and trailer were cut before the film had finished going through post.

Looks like they had the first ready for the PIFF, and then worked on this later. Hmmm.... b-boying tricks, capoeira. Me want now.

Awe. Some. That’s what I’m talking about.
