About The Magnificent Duo
Lee Sung-sun is nicknamed Sirasoni (means a baby tiger) for his gentle personality. Because of his strong sense of justice, Sung-sun gets into a fight with Japanese students and this keeps him from going on his honeymoon. He flees to China. There, he helps a Chinese woman being harassed by the Japanese and ends up working with the Chinese dock laborers. The dock manager doesn't pay the workers fairly and represses them. When Sung-sun loses a friend because of this, he confronts the Japanese and puts a big dent in their pride.
Directed by Lee Hyuk-soo, The Magnificent Duo leans on a strong ensemble — Lee Dae-geun, Kim Hee-ra, Kim Min-jeong — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about action titles of 1979.
