JAIL BREAKERS: South Korean director Sang-jin Kim (ATTACK OF THE GAS STATION, KICK THE MOON) crafts another madcap romp fueled by quirky characters and outlandish situations in his zany prison comedy JAIL BREAKERS. Popular South Korean actors Kyung-gu Sol and Seung-won Cha star as prison cellmates Mu-suk and Jae-pil, who have been planning their escape and digging an underground route for years. But when the daring duo finally do make their breakout, they discover that they were about to be released for parole and launch a desperate bid to break back into prison before the kimchi hits the fan. Littered with references to THE SHAWSHANK REDEMPTION, this slapstick buddy movie was one of South Korea's top-grossing films of 2002.JUNGLE JUICE: South Korean writer/director Min-ho Cho fashions a slapstick, buddy-movie crime caper against a backdrop of alienated youth culture in his zany action-comedy JUNGLE JUICE. Ki-tae (Hyuk Jang) and Cheol-su (Beom-su Lee) are two wannabe-gangsters trying to insinuate themselves into the local mob ring by working as low-level lackeys. When they ineptly botch an important drug deal and have to repay the missing money, the enterprising duo embark upon an unlikely scheme involving a big bag of cocaine and a prostitute named Meg Ryan (Hye-jin Jeon)--all while being pursued by the local authorities and a sadistic mobster named Min-cheol (Chang-min Son). Quirky and fast-paced, JUNGLE JUICE aims to elicit equal parts adrenaline and laughter.
