The Good, the Bad, and the Other One
I recently had the pleasure to watch the movie, 'The Good, the Bad, the Weird', which is a Korean Western movie that was heavily influenced by the Spaghetti-Western (a certain type of Western movie) 'The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly'. It really isn't a remake, since they make it into a Korean story, changing the settings and characters quite a bit, though still keeping the Good and Bad, and just changing the Ugly to the Weird. It is a very enjoyable movie. The story revolves around a map that is rumored to lead to the Qing dynasty treasure, the all the groups that are fighting to find it. The three principle characters, the Good, Bad, and Weird, are all at odd trying to get it and some have their own back story intertwining them. Not the best of plots, at times not making tons of sense, but some amazingly fun action scenes. I would highly recommend this movie if you can find it. A trailer and clip can be found here.
