a very impressive fight scene I came across from the movie 'Old Boy'.. It's worth a look.

Much of Chan-Wook Parks (the director) films are visually impressive if somewhat difficult to follow. This one is no exception but that fight scene is very inventive and retains elements of reality despite it's length and impossibility. He's got a new film soon called "I'm a Cyborg, But That's Okay"...kinda says it all...should be good!!!

Oldboy is a great movie. It caught a bunch of blame for the VA tech shootings over here but only because the killer was too stupid to understand the point. The movie has a powerful (and I thought pretty obvious) theme that revenge is pointless. Neither the fighter in this scene, nor the guy that set him up get any sense of satisfaction from their revenge.
Anyway, this is still a cool scene from a great movie.
