    Badland Hunters was a movie that felt was made specifically for me. So over the top, so much fun… so many wrestling moves being busted out.

    #NowWatching Holy Night Demon Hunters (2025 Lim Dae-hee) I feel like recent Don Lee movies have been the equivalent of cinematic junk food (Badland Hunters, The Roundup films). You get what you pay for, Lee smashing people and the rest of the movie being something of an afterthought, but let's see.

    Currently watching Badland Hunters on Netflix. "Mad Max with Don Lee punching everybody" is a solid hook for a film.

    Watched Badland Hunters There's nothing like just enjoying a mindless action film with some bloody kills while logic leaves the building. While the story is enjoyable and the characters range from being decent to, there, it's the action where the film shines with all of its gory beauty.

    BADLAND HUNTERS is the sequel to the Korean Oscar entry CONCRETE UTOPIA. A nonsensical post apocalyptic scifi action thriller it's an awful film made kind of watchable by Don Lee & the action filled last 40 minutes. Its time you will never get back www.unseenfilms.net/2024/02/badl...

    Badland Hunters is pretty fun, and my favorite bit is Ma Dong-seok goes through almost the entire movie blatantly wearing a S.T.A.R.S. patch. I choose to believe this is canon. This man has fought mutants before.

    Sixty Minutes was a fun French MMA action flick. Badland Hunters was a Don Lee post-apocalyptic action movie I liked, too. Both from earlier this year.

    5. Badland Hunters: anytime Ma Dong-seok has a new action movie, it’s always with checking it out! This one has great action, fun comedy, and it has everything grindhouse film fans love about absurd action films.

  • 🐯Jin || 진누님🐯 @tigrisparty.bsky.socialBluesky · Feb 8, 2024

    Badland Hunters was a very mid film but any action film gets a point in its favour for having a scene with Ma Dong-Seok giggling to himself for repurposing a spent rifle as a walking stick for going up stairs

    This evening's film: Badland Hunters! You wouldn't think a movie could possibly live up to a Big Punch Pictures production ident, but this is another "Ma Dong-seok hitting fools so hard, their dads get dizzy" movie, so I assure you, it can. He punches a guy over an intercom! Watch it on Netflix.

    "Badland Hunters: A Visually Striking Action Spectacle with Narrative Shortcomings" In this post-apocalyptic action thriller, Badland Hunters, while suffering from a repetitive and clichéd plot and uninteresting characters, excels in stunning hand-to-hand choreography and scintillating action set pieces. The film benefits greatly from the expertise of its veteran stunt coordinator turned director, known for his work on Train to Busan. Commendable world-building, visionary concepts, and…

    Badland Hunters does some things well, others just passably. Action is wall to wall and well choreographed.Special effects are excellent. Characterisations are solid if predictable and the acting is not to be sniffed at. However, the story is unremarkable, with a climax that feels, well, anti climatic. In summary, an okay but hardly exceptional watch, that would have benefited from more creativity on the storytelling front.

  • Chris Sawin @ChrisSawinTMDB reviews · Jan 30, 2024

    The film features some hard-hitting and explosive action sequences that will rightfully cater to fans of the genre. The battle in the basement of the apartment building, where we see Nam-san use a shotgun to blast his way through some of the doctor’s ‘enhanced’ individuals, is a total exhilarating blast. Ma Dong-seok has been a powerhouse for most of his career post Train to Busan, but he sends people flying whenever he throws his fist or pulls the trigger. Badland Hunters also has to break a…
