The Battle of Jangsari (2019) Review

[@JohnnyJohnsonHistory]

I'm sorry, Koreans. I meant to say East Asia, not South East Asia. I swear I know where your country is.

[@WilliamAndrewPhilipBodie]

Sure 😅😂🤣

[@ahmadshasha3632]

😂😂😂

[@FGH9G]

Even your cat detected the error! LOL

[@Teknonavi]

Dang, cat looked so angry at the start of the video

[@tito3640]

Cat had the thousand yard stare

[@Roddy556]

​@@tito3640he's seen some things

[@tombenjamin9924]

The Battle of Jangsari of the second installment of the Operation Chromite trilogy (although it's hard to find much western reporting on this trilogy). First Installment - Operation Chromite Second Installment - The Battle of Jangsari Third Installment - Unreleased and unreported. Each of the films has a known Hollywood actor too to entice non-Korean viewers. Megan Fox in The Battle of Jangsari and Liam Neeson as Douglas MacArthur in Operation Chromite.

That cat should get a year-end bonus

[@Uncle_Roadkill]

I'm a veteran of Scratch The Cat Belly battle, scratched and bit more times than I can recall, but it's a hill I'll die on

[@jokodihaynes419]

Former waffen SS volunteers fought in Korea and Indochina

[@ThePlaceCannel]

Foreign Legion had a field day recruiting troops to fight in Frances multiple colonial wars post WW2. Crazy shit

[@GreasyGrecian-p3b]

Dutch former SS fought in Indonesia too I believe

[@HappyVibes535]

Shows you who the good guys were in the war.

[@lucinae8512]

You posted a video of the Chinese war film Assembly a couple of years ago, but I think its time you gave it a proper review. I also want to mention my favourite scene, is when the Chinese troops in South Korean disguises were forced to interact with American troops, which was a great way to build tension in a war film without direct combat.

[@padawanmage71]

The cat's Death Glare at the very beginning seemed like it could turn someone to jello in 2 seconds flat!

[@JohnnyJohnsonHistory]

You'd swear he lived through the Korean war in a different life.

[@howardchung7050]

This is way better than most Chinese Korean war films that is full of over dramatisation and propaganda 😂

[@juxapostion]

Great review as ever....But, what was the cat thinking about? was it that time during the Great Mouse War, when it lost some freinds\family. Or was it, "dam Johnny is doing more war movies, . TSK. where is my food":)

[@BarFlyLS20A]

Another Korean War film you'd find interesting is Balgan Mahura aka The Red Scarf. Made in the 1960s, it focuses on ROKAF pilots flying air defense and ground attack missions during the war. They are anachronistically piloting F-86 Sabres, which weren't flown by the Koreans until after the cease fire, but it's hard to complain due to the beautiful aerial photography, showcasing the Sabre even better than The Hunters did.

[@freshante4903]

Loved the brief, and succinct review! Also love the cat!

[@JR-tl2ym]

Zodiac boats with outboard engines werent used by the military until the 1960s.

[@mikloridden8276]

With all that’s happened in Korea this week, this video came just in time 😆

[@FGH9G]

Yeah, as a Korean, I really dislike the excessive melodrama that veers straight into sappy and corny territory. It is an unfortunately all too common cliche in Korean cinema. Especially with Korean war flicks. And yes, the presence of the Huey helicopter is just mind numbing and face palm worthy haha

[@huyhoangviet5966]

There was a huey in this movie?also the rubber boats felt too modern for any post ww2 or korean war era movies.

[@lucinae8512]

Did Taegukgi have an influence on what Korean war movies try to depict, or did it just come out before it became overused?

[@FGH9G]

@@huyhoangviet5966 Yeah, at 4:02 in the video, there's a UH-1 helicopter, as Johnny points out. But if you think that Korean historical movie anachronism is bad, just see the modern Boeing 747 with MODERN Air France livery in the movie 'Ode to my Father,' in a scene that takes place in the early 60s! So egregious! LOL

[@FGH9G]

@@lucinae8512 I'm not sure which came first. Korean cinema in general goes heavy on the melodrama, but Taegukgi in general paved the way for many more Korean War movies in Korean cinema, mainly because of how critically and financially successful it was. But yes, that movie REALLLLY amped up the melodrama to the point of fatigue haha

[@janblake9468]

CAT: Meh, am not interested.

[@jsipple31]

never heard of the movie, look good. always banger suggestions

[@geordiedog1749]

Only when you get a film about students do you get an accurate age group. Kind of…. Most war films have actors who are too old.

[@jsipple31]

how do you get the cat to look at the poster

[@JohnnyJohnsonHistory]

He seems to have a sixth sense!

[@ulrikwener]

Was that nick from csi? 😎👌🏼

[@Godzilla00X]

The cats reaction was interesting to this film. What did he mean by this?

[@aliendeathpunch7044]

Sir Michael Caine fought in the korean war

[@bobmetcalfe9640]

That cat is giving someone or something the evil eye.😁

[@TrickiVicBB71]

Watching Korean War by Indy Neidell right now. He makes weekly videos of the war. China has launched a massive offensive and is pushing the US forces back to the 38th

[@GreasyGrecian-p3b]

Wasn't there also a film about these South Korean student volunteers defending a university or something from a North Korean attack? I forget what it's called

[@huyhoangviet5966]

The SK students defended a girl's school. Movie was 71: into the fire.

[@GreasyGrecian-p3b]

That was it, and I just realised I came across it from a clip on one of Johnny's other channels lol

[@paule5195]

Great review Johnny. Hope you check out the movie Lee, turned out to be pretty great.

[@N1ghtLancer]

Like and comment for kitty, much love to you too johnny

[@kellychuang8373]

Really can say good review also noticed some guns in this video you are familiar with and some you didn't get into like the Maxim PM 1910 in this I'm sure it is could look into that and also may look into this Axis German rifle the Mauser Kar 98K which also can be another candidate and for helicopters in that conflict could look into this and maybe do videos about them such as the Bell H-13 Sioux also said to have had made famous in the MASH series and movie about that used for medical duties there anyway check that out as well and could get videos about that.

[@callumgriss5422]

there's been a good few really enjoyable war films come out of east asia recently. there's that trilogy from SK about the admiral in the imjin war, those chinese propaganda movies like "The 800", etc.

[@powdermuaythai]

ur cat looks like he was there & is remembering. lol

[@sameerk644]

Hiii Johnny... Still didn't see... Madras cafe????

[@JohnnyJohnsonHistory]

I'll try again in a couple weeks to get a better copy of it! I haven't given up!

[@sameerk644]
