Kick the Moon" is a film like no
other!
Unique subject matter
A field trip to Gyeongju city is a memory that everybody in Korea
shares in his or her school days. "Kick the Moon" offers
viewers a chance to visit a nostalgic yet historical place where
two old school friends once shared an unforgettable experience.
Through their eyes, people can see why Gyeongju is part of a growing-up
process for every Korean. Considering that Gyeongju is popularly
known for its historical artifacts and rich culture, the film was
shot entirely on Super 35mm to capture as much of Gyeongju's scenery
so viewers can wholesomely share the experience.
Cartoon-like characters
Unique cartoon-like characters and temperamental relationships are
the backbone of "Kick the Moon." A big-time gangster who
can't escape from the temper of a straight-A geek, a gangster-like
teacher who still has the temper of a high school bully, and a woman
who owns a noodles restaurant with a temper for a plain normal day
and a fearsome one when she gets pissed off.
Having these cartoon-like characters in a well-thought out plot,
the film generates a comic and crowd-pleasing environment. It's
a film where the actors have fun making and the audience has fun
watching.
Comedy plus Action
"Kick the Moon" not only comprises hilarious comedy, but
there's also a lot of fist-fighting action. Two friends, Gi-dong
and Young-joon, always get themselves in trouble no matter where
they go. Back in high school, Gi-dong gets the whole student body
involved in a showdown with another school in Gyeongju. Over two
hundred extras clash on the streets, shattering windows, denting
cars and throwing each other across the pavement.
The tables turn when Young-joon gets the whole city of Gyeongju
involved in a mob scene at the end of the film. Close to 200 extras,
including gangsters, policemen, civilians and students, punch, kick,
body slam and bash heads until no one's left standing.
