No. I had heard of it. Korea seem to make a lot of remakes of Japanese films. They remade Ring too.
Is it worth watching? I did have a huge John Woo obsession when I was younger.
It's not as good as the original but it was good enough for me to buy the Blu-Ray (it was a double package, has the 'plain' DVD too). Bonus features include an interview with Woo. Woo was the executive producer, so I figured that meant he approved? I think I'll give it a rewatch tonight.

Cool. I might give it a go. Korea have had truly excellent cinematic output over the last couple of decades.
I realise I implied above that the original A Better Tomorrow was Japanese. Which was pretty dopey of me. I meant Korea remake a lot of films from other Asian countries.

I should love Highlander but I've never managed to finish it... Just one of those things!
