"The Foul King" (반칙왕, "Banchikwang") is a 2000 South Korean comedy film written and directed by Kim Ji-woon. It was Kim's second feature-length film after "The Quiet Family". Like the director's debut film, "The Foul King" also stars Song Kang-ho, this time as an incompetent bank clerk who takes up a career in professional wrestling, adopting the moniker The Foul King in the ring.

Plot

Basically, the main actor is a nonprofessional wrestler but just huge fan of wrestling since his childhoods. In South Korea, one wrestler called Kim il was a big star as an athlete in the 1970s. Strangely, however, the young hero preferred to follow a fouling man called Ultra Tiger Mask, a dirty wrestler who wore a tiger mask. After ten years or more, the story comes upon him.
