Jhon Wick
Raid
Rocky Handsome
Non of these movies come close to this Korean masterpiece
The Man From Nowhere is a classic and Won Bin is a phenomenal actor
fun fact , the movie john wick was made because the creators were inspired from this movie.
@@eukicha Yeah i know unfortunately a lot of people haven't seen the original movie
Raid is a good movie. MAN FROM NOWHERE was released a year earlier, so raid may have been inspired by it. John Wick is also known to have been inspired by MAN FROM NOWHERE.
Man from nowhere is way better then the raid. The night comes for us is better then the raid
There are nothing similiar between them, so how is The Raid inspired by it?
Especially the action scene... MFN is a kid show compare to The Raid.
If iyou want to compare, then it supposse to be with Drive (actor Ryan Gosling), these two movies have many similiarities.... And also, Drive a bettet movie.
And one Indian Bollywood movie Rocky handsome too u can watch its awesome
This is facts
And man from nowhere way way way better then the Raid or even John wick!! Korean always had something that other countries can't have. the sentiment of all action/drama or thriller movie from Korea other countries can't have that. Korea not just good at script, story and all acting skill of the actor. But they are freaking creative writer that making plot twist over a plot twist Korean when it comes to this genre and type of movie they are above anyone
Fun Fact: This movie was a huge inspiration to the John Wick series. Notice the suit and clean gun work/fighting with a very dark but loveable main lead.
The action of the film is very groundbreaking and has had a profound effect on the film Johnwick. This is a legend.
Fact! Man from Nowhere came earlier than the Raid.. After this movie, the main actort Wonbin did not accept another movie anymore because of the trauma that he recieved from this movie...
We keep on crossing our finger thst Wonbin will finally reappear again in the limeline bcoz his acting is phenomenal..
So, what if this movie come eralier than The Raid?
@@bbudimanalqodri just pointing out because Jaby said that this movie may have been inspired by The Raid. It can't be, if this came out before that.
Itu pak Budiman udah lah pak, the Raid Ama mfn sama2 bagus
@@AyuJuni-gj7dt Sama-sama bagus, siapa bilang MFN jelek? Tapi, lebih bagus The Raid.
@@onislayer25gaming agree
this movie came out first (before the raid) & actually inspired the john wick character (legit, according to the director of JW who officially said it in an interview)-
Unfortunatey this was his last movie before he deciding to retire. Won Bin is such a great actor. Many fans & producers still hope he makes a comback to entertainment industry.
There is one of his movie that is still one of biggest blockbuster in korea, Taegukgi : Brotherhood in War. One of the best movie ever produced.
은퇴안했는데.....ㅋㅋㅋ
@@awkward__k then name a movie or drama he was in after this movie released. I'll wait for ur answer
@@rafiandanawari7038 아쉽게도 작품은 안찍고 광고만 찍고있죠. 다만 은퇴는 안했다는 말입니다ㅎㅎ
What is unique about the action in this movie is that it is different from the action movies of the time.
These days, there are many more realistic action movies, but when they were released in 2010, most action movies showed exciting beats and exaggerated martial arts, and audiences who were accustomed to repetitive action that felt like a dance show could sit comfortably on the sofa. . Without tension. I was lying down eating popcorn and watching the action scene as if I was watching fireworks.
It may seem very cool to viewers who are new to spectacular action, but because all movies show such action, it ends up being seen as very boring and tension-less action.
On the other hand, the action in this movie is not flashy or for show, but shows restrained action that attacks major blood vessels, major muscles, and vital points.
At the same time, in the highlight action scenes, the music itself is deleted instead of the exciting beats, and instead of exaggerated shouts, the groans made when swinging the sword and applying force are heard delicately.
Rather than an exaggerated impact sound, the sharp sound of blades hitting each other,
This is because delicate sounds such as the sound of a sharp object cutting through the air or the sound of a knife being stabbed are heard.
Additionally, the main character's dialogue is extremely limited throughout the film.
If successful, it can create a sense of tension and mystery, but in general, excising the protagonist's dialogue in this way is a very difficult decision.
It may seem easy when you look at the results, but at the time, it was almost impossible for a new director to make such an experimental film with the best actors.
If you make a mistake, the action may seem trivial and insignificant, or it may end up being a shabby action movie compared to a blockbuster.
So originally, the main character of this movie was going to be an unknown actor who looked like an old man.
However, because the actor named Won Bin, who played the main character of this movie, really liked the movie's scenario and actively expressed his intention to appear, this movie was able to be made with the best actor.
At the time, actor Won Bin was already a top-class actor, but compared to him, he participated in this movie at a very low cost and voluntarily practiced for more dangerous and intense action scenes.
As a result, this movie showed how realistic action can be used as entertainment, and many viewers commented that they watched it with a sense of tension as if they were being stabbed, rather than watching it while eating popcorn in a comfortable position. On the sofa.
In the case of Raid, it shows the wonderful martial arts of Southeast Asia, where martial arts are developed.
However, the way the action is shown follows the formula of the flashy and rich martial arts action of existing Chinese martial arts action movies, so it is in a completely different direction from MFN's action.
Meanwhile, the reason why director John Wick is said to have been inspired by this movie is because John Wick's actions also contain realistic gun tactics, unlike existing movies. If you are familiar with the gun action so far, which consists of one-handed gun action with infinite ammo, infinite random shooting, and flashy jumps,
John Wick is said to have been influenced by MFN in that it shows action in a way that is used in actual gun tactics, such as magazine exchanges and Mozambique training.
Therefore, it must be distinguished from movies like RAID.
Afterwards, John Wick was also inspired by the experimental camera work used in the motorcycle action scene in the third film, a Korean film called The Villainess.
So WHAT!!!
Damn u made me realise what so good about this movie.
Fully read ur comment, thanks btw
@@bourneethan3190What do you mean? Of course
@@bourneethan3190 He's telling you that your mother is having an affair with the man next door
👍 👍 👍 You are correct !!!
I've seen this movie literally dozens of times on cable television. I feel like I can memorize the lines now.
In korean? wow
The Man from Nowhere was released in 2010 is one of the most iconic action film in Korean action film history. It opened a new era in Korean action film industry and the action scenes in Korean cinema can be divided using this movie as the turning point. It also influenced many other countries' action Cinema along with the one take hallway fight scene from the Old Boy released in 2003. These are the release dates of some of the movies you mentioned.
The Man from Nowhere (2010)
The Raid (2011)
The Raid 2(2014)
John Wick (2014)
Rocky Handsome (2016)
The Thai actor Tanayong Wontrakul is very well known actor in both Thailand and South East Asia. At the time of release of this movie, his starring in Korean film was highly publicized and became quite an issue in South Eastern Asia. Considering this movie was well received in South Eastern Asian market, there are great chance other action films in that region could have been influenced by this movie as well. The action sequence and choreography was ahead of its time and even in 2023 it doesn't look outdated and even interesting to the eyes of new viewers who are not familiar with Korean action films.
Thank you for the great reaction. I have been waiting for the full movie reaction since you did the fight scene reaction with Megan long time ago. I almost gave up on it but here we are. Better late than never I guess. 😂🤣😂 If you liked this movie, you might also like another Korean action film The Gangster, The Cop, The Devil 악인전 (2019). Check it out. 😁
Rocky handsome is like a parody of "man from nowhere" 😂
@@OldSchoolGenius Dude looks like a robot in Rocky Handsome. He does not react to anything.
isnt it a direct rip off @@OldSchoolGenius
@@alexanderson6371 Supposed to be a Bollywood adaptation but it's just funny so its a parody.
Neither an "adaptation" or a "parody". I'm sure it's unintentionally funny but to act like the point of it is to parody MFNW is giving it undue credit. Call it what it is, a rip off. India also did the same with I Saw The Devil. @@onislayer25gaming
The knife guy did not want to die. He saw how good the protagonist is with the knife and he wants to fight the protagonist to see who is the best. That is why he shot the eyes' container to enrage him, then throw away the gun.
His sympathy for the girl was irrelevant. The bad guy still view him as an antagonist and wanted the thrill of the challenge.
This is one of my favorite movies of all time. This inspired the creator of John Wick. It's special because it is also the last full movie the main actor played.
Why did he retire?
FYI :This movie released way before the raid movies !
Korean laws are different from US in that even if you are "justified" you will still face punishment if your actions caused pain and suffering or was a gross violation of the law. For example, someone slaps you or attacks you and you end up hospitalizing him cuz that person assaulted you, you'll still have to face liability and punishment even if you were justified.
Professional knife fighters did a analysis of the knife fight and stated that it was a 10/10 of what to do and how to do it. Also last appearance of Won Bin in acting. The other knife fighter is from Thai so he spoke in English because he does not know Korean.
the man from nowhere was screened 2010. the raid was screened 2011.
Omg..yass this movie 🔥🔥
Now you need to see The Gangster the Cop and the Devil, another Korean flick. If you saw Train to Busan you'd recognize the gangster.
Such a great b-actioner. Wildly entertaining.
And the outlaws, the roundup the roundup: no way out
They need to see I Saw the Devil, Monster, Confidential assignment 1&2, Midnight and The Call.
This movie was my introduction into Korean cinema. I saw it around 2014. Been watch Korean movies/tv shows ever since!
me too
OMG I loooooove this movie. I remember making my brothers watch it with me and they freaking loved it, too.
The guy who spoke in English is actually a Thai actor. He probably doesn't know Korean so it's better for him to speak in English anyways since he's more fluent in it. I like him and Won Bin in this movie the best. Love their fight together. The choreography was pretty dope.
This movie was so badass that I kept expecting a sequel to come out over the years. And since the actor who played the hero quit acting after this movie, maybe the little girl grows up and becomes the protagonist in the spin off movie "The Girl From Somewhere"
except she made poor choices in life, and got cancelled. She had 1 last chance to revive her career, but she even screwed that up. Thus she was removed half way in the netflix show "bloodhounds"
This is the first south korean movie I've watched and since then I've been hooked on korean cinema.
The raid came after this movie
This was the film that made me finally notice Korean cinema for its action. Was so darn good.
Though Won Bin stopped acting after this movie came out, he has a lot of good movies under his belt. You should watch "Mother" 2009 movie. He is different in that movie but still great acting.
This is one of my all-time favorite movies, and I'm not really an action movie fan. This really has some depth to it.
This movie came out before the raid 2. The Bourne Identity overdid their camera angle shifts but this one was done right and effective for me. I really liked the fight scenes because it was more grounded and realistic than the raid
This and I Saw the Devil are 2 of my favorites. I can always watch them when there’s nothing else on. Glad you guys enjoyed it, great reaction!
Oldboy and i saw the devil are masterpieces...... Men from nowhere is nowhere near to both of this
Another great one is Chaser. But its even darker than these two imo.
@@dinkan9550hahaha u can say that.
Same bro This and I Saw the Devil also my favourites!
Old boy is classic one tho.
I saw the devil traumatized me a little bit.
This movie and I Saw the Devil (my #1) are still my two favorite Korean movies. I remember thinking the CQC fights in this movie were sick AF and the little girl really brought the feels.
One of the best action movies ever. PERIOD!
Funny thing is that for the first half hour it's like watching paint dry. Then it explodes and doesn't stop.
If you like the noir genre like the man from now where, I recommend watching new world. This movie is based on the famous Hong Kong movie Secret Pursuit. And although there are cruel scenes, there is almost no adult Korean male who has not seen this movie.
The guy with the knife saw it as a challenge because the knife was his main weapon. It's like "If I'm gonna go, I'll go my way. The warrior way" Well, that's how I interpreted it anyway.
This is the movie that got me into Korean movies and boy is it one of my favorites to go back to
- The main actor retired after this role, at the height of his popularity. He married one of the most popular actresses at the time, and has laid low for the most part.
- They were speaking English because the enforcer character/actor isn't Korean.
This was my first Korean movie and so far still my fav!
Oh nice 😃
Next watch these please
1. The Brotherhood of War
2. OdeTo My Father
3. Miracle In Cell No. 7
4. The Wailing
5. Concrete Utopia

While filming scene at 25:15 cameraman jump with actor, this shot is fantastic!
19:07 Kristen's reaction😂😂😂😂
Did you guys know this was the movie that inspired john wick, look it up
My favorite movie of all time, i watch it once a year 😊,
Someone i love showed me this movie. He took his life infront of me. I cry nonstop watching this
If this movie was released later than John wick.
Jaby would be in every single scene this was inspired from John wick and that scene was inspired from John wick.
But the reality is John Wick was inspired from the Korean movie Man from nowhere the OG badass movie.
For not even a single time he thought John wick might be inspired from this movie.
Really jaby for a guy who compare everything with Hollywood stuffs he didn't think that. This is a double standard all the good and original ideas can only come from HW.
한국 최고의 액션영화에요. 개봉 당시 인기가 어마어마했습니다.
리액션 영상 잘 봤습니다.
이 영화는 아직도 한국에서 최고라고 여겨지는 영화중의 하나인데 이렇게 리액션을 보게되다니 무척 반갑네요.
Here's my thought on ramrowan (karambit knife villain who spoke English). Well, since he was a Thai assassin from the movie, he couldn't speak Korean. He saved the girl because he perhaps had a past similar like tae sik (main character of this film). He shot the eyes because the eyes weren't the girls eyes and he didn't want tae sik to keep the guys eyes. They fought because they couldn't communicate with eachother. Ramrowan fought tae sik because his intention was the same as his, which was saving the girl which he did. So it was only him and tae sik at the final scene. In the fight, it seems like he just wanted to die tho. At that exact moment, he also felt that tae sik being alive for the girl would be better and ramrowan also remembers all the bad things he has done. All of that feelings mixed up made ramrowan want to die. He basically just play fought that final fight without going full force. When he is stabbed, you can see it in his face that he felt bad about the things he has done, and he feels like his death is deserved but also the sadness that he couldn't tell tae sik that the girl is alive, or any message because he doesn't know Korean.
2023년 막바지에 봐도... 원빈 연기가 상당한데, 아직도 후기작이 없는게 너무 아쉬움... 캬...
어머낫!!!👍👍👍
Epic film. Nice pace with a good story. Fight scene was epic. Not overly done and realistic. But I don't think it was influenced by the movie taken. There are many Korean stories like this.
This movie is a masterpiece.
Bollywood version of this called Rocky Handsome
another fun fact is that john wick is actually inspired by this movie! if you think about it, john loses it over his dog as this guy loses it over the little girl. :’)
Yeah very much similar, aren't you a genius?
@@petrel6479To be honest, Johnwick isn't even more interesting. I've watched all four of Canu's Johnwick movies, so I personally can't catch up with half of this movie
1. The Gangster, The Cop, The Devil
2. The Outlaws 1
3. The Roundup (The Outlaws 2)
3. The Roundup: No way out (The Outlaws 3)
All The movies have Don Lee. You'd recognise him.
I love this movie! Remember watching and rewatching it many times along with Tropa de Elite 1 and 2. Very powerful. One of the best knife scene in movie history as well, imo, along with Donnie Yen one with Wu Jing in Kill Zone.
You really should react to ma dong seok movies next - the outlaws, the roundup 1 and 2 , the cop ,the devil and the gangster
Also there's a movie with ma dong seok and the little girl (all grown up now) titled Ordinary People. Awesome movie.
Ohh! So this was the inspiration for Rocky Handsome starring John Abraham...
We get used to corporal punishment at an early age so brutal is the norm.
One thing to note: This movie makes use of the "white truck of death" trope. Used in a lot of Korean movies and television series, the white truck of death is the usual convenient way for a character to get killed off.
Other names include "truck of doom"
At 11:13 the guy who speaks English is a Thai actor
Thanayong Wongtrakul
I loved Donnie Yen in John Wick 4 but the fan(In me)of this movie thought that it would have been dope to have CHA be 1 of John's past friend who gets pitted against him to protect...His"Daughter"
It would have been a cool nod to this movie(Which I thought that the John Wick movies seemed inspired by)
I know that the John Wick directors are a fan of this movie
That jump through the window btw is real, and the camera operator had to jump with the actor
What a great movie. It was entertaining but made me get emotional
at the same time. I enjoyed it very much.
I'm surprised Jaby didn't comment on the karambit, the curved knife. It's a popular weapon in Malaysia, Indonesia, and the Philippines.
22:57 that haircut scene is one legit point in the movie
I recommend "The Terror Live"
The screenplay and directing are truly amazing.
Just try it.
You'll be hooked on the movie in just 5 minutes.
Odd thing about Korean Law, self-defense is tricky there and if you injure the attacker you can be held liable for injuries. (violent crime doesn't happen nearly as much there as it does here as well) But proactive defense can be taken badly by the police. You might also like My Name if you haven't seen it. Acting is great, action is very good and the story was fun.
Well put, As a Korean I think its safe to say most Koreans hate that law tho, sometimes we watch US news and envy how the defender can kill the assailants and be trialed as non-guilty. That's justice.
@@mheekkim2901even in the uk it’s the same. If you beat an intruder unconscious you’ll still serve jail time. But weirdly enough farmers are allowed to kill intruders without consequences.
Knife guy just couldn't let that surgeon take her eyes because she was kind to him, Giving him a band-aid
With his wife and child dead, all he had were the crunches. An ab day that would never end.
I've seen this movie before it's deep, truthful and harsh.
Some say Raid "may have been" inspired by Man From Nowhere ? It is a licensed copy ! If you spot a similarity between Korean and Indian contents, it's India's purchase of the copyright.
This movie was made in 2010. What inspired what ?
Before John Wick there was Man From Nowhere
리액션 감사해요😊❤
This movie is a banger and a go to for me when I show people a “foreign “ film.
잘 보고 갑니다. ~~~
good
I watched this movie last year, looked the lead up and found he never made another movie after this one. I was gutted. His character made me want to watch more of his content, but I was disappointed to find no other work from him.
Yes, please keep this channel active....
very good movie
Won bin's last movie..
Ohmymymy Great emotional réactions Mr And especially the nice Lady with justice words as well 💜 And Always make me tears UP everytime though !! Please do the next movie of the same director with "no tears for the dead" 😊🙏
Rocky Handsome ( an Indian movie released in 2016) is the ditto copy of this movie.
This movie made me cry at the end.
잘 보고 갑니다 😊😊
An absolute classic
Wud love to see jaby's reaction to My Name series
Rocky Handsome ❤
My favourite movie of all time yaaaayy!
The Raid and TMFN are very different though both use realistic applications of Kali and Silat as both close quarter fighting arts are used to train SFs around the world. TMFN was inspired by the Bourne movies who is the pioneer of the shaky cam which quickly got phased out by The Raid movies that started the wide, steady camera angles which is now the standard implemented in the JW and Extraction movies. Both are amazing for their time.
That was a good movie.
I love MAN FROM NOWHERE my Won bin 😍
When I saw this movie, I thought "Finally! A good looking Asian action star" Won Bin is like a taller, better looking (Sorry Jet) Jet Li. I've read about why he hadn't done any acting since and it's too bad. I think fans (me included) had been hoping that he comes back one of these days.
My favorite Korean movie. Such a realistic fight scene.
Jaby if you liked this movie you have to watch A Bittersweet Life, I'm sure you will like it.
Best Korean film in my opinion
He didn't flinch 😌💥
This is on my watch list! I saw it in my suggestions after watching The Killer
I love this movie and recommend to everyone. Most have only seen part of the final fight scene. Thank u for not using the English dub. I think some of the story is lost.❤❤😂
예고편 리액션은 6년전인가 올리더니 본편 리액션이 이제 올라오네 ;;;;
Been waiting for someone to react to this film. This was one of the best hand to hand and knife combat.
They are tons of reaction videos if this film here in YT.
I love this movie. I was a little kid when I first watch it . And pls watch "THE CALL" it's Korean horror n thriller movie. Plot twist is crazy 🔥
Thank you for the reaction. If you're looking for the next movie, I recommend War of the Arrows (2011) and Exit (2019).
There was a lot of discussion in Korea about the sentence he would receive in the future^^
