CJ ENTERTAINMENT PRESENTS

IN ASSOCIATION WITH CINEMA SERVICE

A CINEMA SERVICE

MIRACLE FILMS PRODUCTION

One man against 14 men!

Do you think this is

just one man's bluff?

This actually happened 23 years ago

in Youngju, Gyeongbuk province.

He took down 14 men alone.

This is the guy.

Do you ever wonder what happened

to the best fighters of your school days?

We have the answer for you.

Legendary Fighter!

We have our first contestant, Mr. Kim Bong-chul.

Owns a fried chicken restaurant.

The legendary 14 to 1 fighter!

Let's check out his fighting skills!

A two minute fight test with

a professional mixed martial arts athlete,

Jason Kim, the first Asian person to win

IFC Heavyweight Champion

will be tonight's commentator

and a judge for today's bout

Jason?

Hello. Nice to meet you.

I'm Jason.

Today we have

Mixed Martial Arts Warrior FC

Middleweight Champion Jung Sang-ho!

Fight!

Rough blows!

He looks like a wild buffalo!

What do you think, Jason?

He looks more like a cow

Kim takes a middle kick and falls!

Is he really the legendary

14 to 1 man?

I think he was one of the 14 men.

A take-down!

Jung doesn't give the opponent

a second to breathe today!

For contestants with

no basics like him,

- it's better for them to end it quickly.

- Stop, stop!

End of Fight!

The referee calls for a stop!

Legend Verification Failed!

Yo!

He was in high school when he took down

a crime organization alone.

From Ajoongri, Jeonju.

Legend of the Legends!

Today's second contestant,

Mr. Park Chul-soo!

Unlike the last contestant,

he's got his basics down.

His weight shift in the

lower body is good.

When he throws a punch,

his feet are on toe-heel line.

A right hook!

That was a direct hit!

- Legend Verification Failed!

- Down!

- Another legend dies.

- Are you okay?

Leave him, he'll live.

A High kick!

Our third contestant,

Mr. Na Hyuk-soon!

Is it because of his good

physical strength? He's resilient.

It's been over a minute!

A very strong take-down!

He's doing a choke.

Will Mr. Na hold up?

I think he should give up.

It blocks the blood flow to the brain.

He could die!

Na is still holding up!

Mr. Na, please give up!

You could die!

I think he won't give up.

Or is he?

Is he?

Is he?

Two minutes are up!

- Yes.

- Mr. Na is amazing.

He's the only contestant

to endure the two minutes today!

End of Fight!

This week's legend is born!

Legend Verification Successful!

The last in our program is

a fight between two legends

for the prize money of $20,000.

The three minute Round 3 has begun.

Their skills are both great,

but they're armed with tenacity.

It's so gruesome!

It's a fierce slug fest!

It's an extraordinarily exciting match!

Who will win this week's $20,000?

Both contestants won't back down!

They just won't yield!

FISTS OF LEGEND!

Let's get a puppy and

go to the water park

that we went with mom...

Your message has been sent.

Unread, unread, unread...

This noodle dish is delicious!

Thank you.

Did you know?

The better they fight,

the better they cook

I heard you were really

famous back in high school.

You against five South Seoul High's

best fighters is a legend.

I already said no.

Why did you come all the way here?

They keep calling in

I don't know who those

crazy people are.

But I wasn't some school bully.

If you came here for that,

don't pay and just leave.

How can I not pay for this

delicious bowl of noodles?

$20,000 for one week's

prize money! It's quite big!

Legendary Fighter Producer Hang Kyu-min!

$20,000 for one week's prize money!

You don't have too many customers anyway

I already told you I won't do it!

A broadcasting company

won't take no for an answer.

Please go.

If I lacked conviction,

would I have made a rough show

like Legendary Fighter?

I haven't seen, I don't know.

If I lacked conviction about you,

would I be here right now?

How should I know?

I think I can challenge

myself to win that $20,000.

When you have conviction about yourself,

please call me.

A man with pride is

the most beautiful man.

Whatever.

- Thank you!

- Thank you!

He'll call soon

I'm sorry.

It was our job to do it.

A man looks most incompetent

when he has to say sorry.

Let's go.

Yes, mother, I'm at the restaurant.

Now?

How have you been?

How are you, girl?

What took you so long?

The food is cold now!

He never got the concept of time.

I came as fast as I could!

Get a bowl of rice-cake soup.

Hey, Soo-bin

What are you doing here?

Why did you come home so early?

Huh?

What's wrong?

You want a drink?

No, no.

Why not? You quit drinking

after your wife died? Loser.

How did you know?

You're so bad.

Soo-bin, come and eat with me

I guess he's a really special guest.

It's like catering a buffet

every time he comes!

Try some stir-fried noodles.

It's very good!

Mother, don't make all these for me.

You girls stop too!

You must be happy getting

all the love from your mother-in-law.

If you go home hungry,

I won't be able to sleep well tonight.

This is so delicious!

Soo-bin, come here.

Let's eat together.

Come down.

Talk to him while you eat.

Did Soo-bin do something wrong?

You want me to tell him?

Leave me alone!

Don't you dare throw a fit!

If you don't want to talk,

at least come and eat.

You have some free time

tomorrow morning?

Tomorrow? Why?

You got time or not?

I do. I will make time.

What are you doing?

Stop it, dad!

Good job raising your kid!

What do you do for a living?

I run a small restaurant.

Did she learn to use the pen

like a knife from her father?

I'm sorry

I'll pay for the hospital bill

and apologize sincerely.

Please let my daughter attend school.

When I get out of here,

that b*tch is dead.

Eun-seo!

No, sir. It's all my fault.

I didn't raise her right.

Whatever.

I'm happy that you have a dream.

Why did you fight with her?

If I were you, I would've stabbed

her with a fountain pen!

You only got a half of my genetics.

That's why you're nice.

If you stabbed someone with a fountain pen,

you could've killed someone!

Do you think this is funny?

No.

If you got money,

buy me a fountain pen

so I can kill all the annoying

people in my way.

Do you have the money?

Of course

I heard that you can barely

pay your rent for the restaurant.

Who said that?

I have so many customers these days.

I guess you know.

Hello!

Yes, this is he.

Legendary Fighter?

You know Mr. Lim Deok-kyu?

Your high school friend

who runs a noodle shop.

I heard that you two were rivals

in Sadang high school.

How do you feel about fighting

a great ringside match in 25 years?

Mr. Lim agreed to be on the show

I don't know who told you this.

But I'm just a regular office

employee. This is absurd.

I'm far from being violent

I have to go now.

- Call the police!

- Okay!

The b*tches are brainwashed with

communist newspaper and Twitter.

They think an entrepreneur is

a f***ing piece of sh*t!

Manager Lee!

Yes.

Young people these days
