War of the Arrows

Ok I know the season is fast approaching and most of you won’t have time for watching movies but I just have to recommend War of the Arrows. It’s a Korean period piece in which the hero, Nam-Yi, must rescue his sister from the evil Manchurian invaders – all pretty typical Asian cinema fare I hear you say – but Nam-Yi accomplishes this with his bow and many, many arrows. The action is non-stop and archery based all the way. There’s even an early interpretation of EFOC where a half-pound flat head is used to shoot through tree trunks at its unsuspecting victim! The film’s climax features a fantastic shot of the archer’s paradox too so the appeal to archers goes without saying. Five quid from amazon – you can’t go wrong. Enjoy!

Actually, I can save you a few quid. It’s available on Netflix instant video (might be on amazon prime too). Got through the first 30 min or so. Had to go and never got back to it. Thanks for the reminder. I’ll watch it tomorrow (worked the weekend, so I am off Tuesday, so Monday is a “Late” night).
