Abstract:

Not satisfied with the money they got from robbing a gas station the previous night, four juvenile delinquents decide to return and start running the station themselves, holding the staff hostage and collecting cash from the customers! The second highest grossing film in Korean history, ATTACK THE GAS STATION! is a visually exuberant action satire in the tradition of Guy Ritchie's SNATCH, and an exuberant analogy of social turmoil in contemporary South Korea. With Yi Song-jae, Yu O-song, Kang Song-jin, Yu Chi-t'ae
