Jee-woon Kim / South Korea / 2001/ 112 min
Kang-ho Song, Jin-young Chang, Sang-myun Park, Woon-gin Jung 

Dae-ho is a shy banker and less than stellar employee. He endures constant humiliation from his power-obsessed boss whose favorite abuse is putting errant employees in a headlock. Dae-ho decides to learn wrestling, so he can avoid such embarrassment in the future. He goes to the gym, and like Rocky, he trains and trains. Quietly. Secretly. Relentlessly. As he begins his transformation, his lifeless eyes start to sparkle and his pot-bellied body turns to muscle. Weeks later, however, he’s still completely untalented, and he’ll never be the hero of the ring...but maybe he can be the villain. He is born again as the vicious Foul King, the bad guy who can win only by cheating. He becomes a villainous masked wrestler who uses folding chairs, crutches, and itching powder to badger the wrestlers audiences come to cheer. He’s the villain they all love to hate and his reputation grows until he finally becomes what he’s most desired and feared. The Foul King is the story of a man whose life is going nowhere
