Quint has seen the craziest cult classic in the making Korean bit of weirdness called DASEPO NAUGHTY GIRLS at SBFF!!!
Ahoy, squirts! Quint here. Finally, I saw a movie here at the Santa Barbara Film Festival that I’m excited to write-up.
I don’t know what the fuck DASEPO NAUGHTY GIRLS is, but I do know that I love it.
Okay, let me try to figure this out. It’s a Korean movie. That’s something. It’s a Korean movie that features, in no particular order, pink-haired ladies singing, a Cyclops, a dragon, a little green circle that gives girls back their virginity, a masochistic teacher, a cross-dressing businessman (he like Sailor Moon, apparently), an underground sex club, a chick with a dick and more than a few Karaoke musical numbers complete with the counting down hand and light up (Korean) characters as the people on the screen sing.
The movie won me over in the first scene where a substitute teacher comes in and tells this high school class (the subject is Atheism) that he’s filling in for their regular teacher because he’s at the hospital with an STD. The class gasps and then the sub tells the chubby girl she should have herself checked out.
That starts a domino effect. She slaps another boy and says she has to leave. That boy mutters something about “so that’s what that rash was” and causes student after student to excuse themselves as the sexual history of the class unfolds… female to male to female to male… sometimes male to male, etc, until only two people are left in the class: a lonely one-eyed student and a really cute girl with poverty on her back. Literally… a little stuffed figure she can’t remove.
From here it gets tricky. We’re introduced to a few dozen characters, all fuckin’ crazy. Two smart-ass high school investigators (who use a PSP to cheat in class and look up solutions to problems they encounter), a rich Swiss exchange student (of obvious Korean descent), a bitchy popular girl, a creepy principal, a proud Korean history teacher who insists the hot girls of the class whip him when they get an answer wrong, a crazy pyramid-selling mother, Cyclops’ beautiful sister (who is really his beautiful brother, as we learn when we see her go to a urinal, lift up her skirt and piss) and so many more.
The sound effects and sped-up photography at some points make the film feel like a live action Looney Tunes mixed with Benny Hill. There are some awesome fart jokes, some great cheesy CG work that can only come out of that part of the world and those musical numbers…
I don’t know how in the hell any of you can see this movie outside of film festivals, but if hilariously weird shit is up your alley then this one is for you. Here’s hoping someone with some balls puts this out in the states… maybe Anchor Bay… This is a new cult classic in the making.

I need to see this shit immediately.

I was banged a couple of Korean chicks when I was in the military. They all had an Ass-To-Mouth fetish. Good times! Goooood times...
-
AND IT SOUNDS WONDERFUL! Seriously. If you ever get a chance to go to a Korean karaoke bar, DO IT! Best thing ever. Of course the one I went to just happened to be a brothel as well, but that's just gravy.

This is why Asia is the leading exporter of trannies.

...you have to be careful who you pick up in Thailand. They're everywhere.

Aint It Cool News. Indeed. When the AP breaks more "cool" stories, I think there is a problem. It's all about the PPC money on this site. Dude has his DVD whoreage too. This site is becoming of the hack variety. Change the URL or change the concept.

bought this a year and a half ago and yeah, it's crackin'. not a subtle film, and it gets muddled at the end, but it sure is a heck of fun and worth some big laughs.

It is a weird funny film but the storytelling is poor and the point isn't pushed as hard as it should. The art direction is great and the opening sequence is fantastic. It sold me too, and then the film went on. The pink girls dancing is so awesome. The director of this also directed Untold Scandal. You can buy Dasepo Naughty Girls as a region 3 dvd off of Yesasia.com, you can either get the limited edition with awesome orange and green neon packaging with a cool booklet in Korean but the special features aren't subtitled or get a single disc edition. The company might be Cinema Service. If you don't mind watching stuff on VLC this will work. I used to work at a DVD store that specialized in imported live action asian films, so I'm a dork
-
Ah, torrents - are all we need))))
-
I can't watch a film that's full of potential ladyboys.
-
But one of the funiest fucking films ive ever seen,the climatic at the school are absolute mayhem,the occasional songs catchy as hell too
-
...I can't even imagine what the movie would do...
-
ive got to watch it
-
I can't understand a word they're saying. Seriously, though, it looks fantastic.
-
It was called CCD... I had to go every Sunday
-
Viva Viagra!
-
I'll pass if someone has the "balls" to bring it here.
-
i wanna see this. it's right up my back alley. wait. that came out wrong. but, oh so right. this movie sounds fantastic. i hope to run across it some day. perhaps in that awesome asian video store in north beach...
-
Sadly, after the first 15 minutes, DNG starts to look like hack-work by the standards of Katsuhito Ishii who did the much better A Taste of Tea as well as Funky Forest.
And yea, DNG has been around for over a year at this point. -
Is the guy in "drag" the Japanese comedian that was on (Jonathan Ross) "Japanorama"? I don't remember "his" name but the episode had something to do with "Para para"...

And you are only discovering it now.
Go to yesasia.com to order the DVD. -
Thank you. This looks like a lot of fun. It's high time we saw something really crazy like this come our way. None of my friends understand asian cinema in general and that makes it all the more enjoyable for me. Go Korea!
-
After reading this. It truly looks wicked cool. I look forward to seeing it.
-
Haha.. this movie is like 2 year old.. and now, i mean NOW you guys are reviewing it. Lame.
When will you guys review Kim Ki-Duk's 'Breath'? 2010? -
Only zanier by the sounds of it.

Koreans smoking crack & making movies = not a good idea!

If anyone has any recommended Korean viewing, please let me known. I've seen the Vengeance trilogy, Bad Guy (fuckin amazing), A Bittersweet Life, The Host, Memories of Murder. Any other good ones? City of Violence any good?
-
is in the same league as bittersweet life, for better or worse. standard cops vs gangsters melodrama seen in every other hongkong/korean movies, only with better fight scenes.
i still cannot find memories of murder anywhere in here. and i've been looking.
