Part two of the vengeance trilogy and often considered his best film. A must see masterpiece. Don't watch the dubbed version. The voices kill the performances. the dubbing is really insulting to a such a great film.

Part 3 of the Vengeance trilogy. Sometimes titled Sympathy for lady Vengeance. These films are linked thematically, so see them in any order you want. If you have the chance, see the "fade to black and white" version. Its the look the director intended for the film, but was unable to do until it was released on DVD in Korea.
