Before Shiri, Friend and Oldboy, Korea had another action hero, able to stand toe to toe with Jackie Chan, Bruce Lee and similar greats: it was Seok, played by famous singer-guitarist Jeon Young Rok in the Crazy Boy series. Spanning four sequels and becoming a cult hit, the film was directed by veteran Lee Du Yong, better known for period and historical dramas like Mulberry Tree, and for serious action flicks establishing him as one of the most acclaimed directors of the 70’s and 80’s.
They’re a five-member girl group, Thriller. They might have chosen different paths in life but when it comes to music, they share the same ideals, led by their manager Seok. Taking after his policeman father, Seok is a man’s man, helping the girls through their failures and sharing their happiness in success. He’s a righteous, strong man ready to protect them whenever they fall in danger. And, sure enough, danger comes! Driven away by their conflicts and different personalities, the girls find themselves in trouble, one of them becoming a victim of rape. But fear not, Seok will try to get every single one of those responsible for such a crime. And when Seok gets angry, he becomes a Crazy Boy.
Like all the other Taeheung Pictures releases, this special edition of Crazy Boy has been remastered through a new, HD-sourced telecine. It also includes a Theatrical Trailer and Still Gallery.
