Classic Movie Night_The General's Son II April 16, 2009

The Korea Society's monthly Classic Movie Night series of films set during the period of Japanese occupation will continue this Thursday, April 16th, 2009 at 6:30 PM with this 1991 Korean master director by Im Kwon -taek.

After the remarkable success of The General's Son, director Im Kwon-taek returned a year later with this action–packed sequel. Park Sang-min reprises his role as Kim Doo-han, the son of a legendary general struggling to keep the yakuza out of a Seoul neighborhood. With his band of fighters still reeling from its last encounter with the Japanese thugs, Doo–han struggles to unite the city's fractious Korean gangs into a force capable of defeating his old enemy, yakuza boss Hayashi.
