In 2003, the period blockbuster Once Upon a Time in a Battlefield drew over three million admissions at the box office for its humorous take on Koreas own battle of the three kingdoms
- Baekje, Goguryeo, & Shilla
- during the seventh century. Eight years later, director Lee Joon Ik ( The King & the Clown) advances towards Pyongyang Castle with the equally uproarious sequel Battlefield Heroes. In the first film, the rising kingdom of Shilla aligned with Tang China to attack Baekje in the Battle of Hwangsanbul. This time the target is the even more powerful Goguryeo, but tables turn & alliances shift when the Shilla realize that the Tang are trying to take control of the Korean peninsula.
The game has changed, but the battle mode certainly hasnt as Battlefield Heroes punctuates the storied war with broad satire, everyman sensibilities, & hilariously intricate strategies to win without fighting. Jung Jin Young returns as Shillas master strategist Kim Yoo Shin, while Lee Moon Shik continues to live by his wits as lucky survivor Thingy. The cast also
Includes:: Ryu Seung Ryong as fierce Goguryeo general Nam Geon, Yoon Je Moon as the traitorous Nam Saeng, Sun Woo Sun as brave maiden Gap Sun, & Running Mans Lee Kwang Soo as hot-blooded soldier Mun Di. Hwang Jung Min also reprises his role as the king of Shilla in a cameo appearance.
