Treasure Island - Korean Style

You could see it coming, a take on the usual treasure island.. Korean style. Cool stuff in this movie. Bundle in a gangster with a corrupt cop, in search of a chick who ran off with a big boss's Lotto jackpot, plus some crabby ol' ladies, you get a pretty serious dramedy.

Not very realistic at times, but the idyllic life on the island where the two bumheads head for is pretty believable. So they get bullied into doing work for the native islanders, who just happen to be single old women. No offence but it looks like a oldies version of an Amazon village.

(Amazon here refers to those legendary spear-wielding female warriors of Greek mythology)

A series of slapstick moments come along in the movie and slowly it cobbles along until the fellas happen to find a BIG field of ganja.. sorry I meant cannabis, nope, hemp in this case. Bah, all the same. Its still marijuana. :p (Note : Please don't do drugs)

I bet any drug dealer who sees a freaking gigantic field of nothing but hemp plants would go crazy.. and so the corrupt cop did. The big boss who finally turned up on the island to search for them, finds the field too and in exchange for the girl's life, he would take possession of the island and the hemp fields from the women. Too bad for him the police turned up soon after and poof!.. his dream is gone. So much for stoning yah!
