North Korean Films

I was recently shown this 1986 film from North Korea, about the Korean War, sacrificing for the motherland and the party, glory of the DPRK etc etc etc. While it is comically ridiculous (and feels more like 1966 than 1986), wit over the top kung fu and super soldiers (if a North Korean soldier can kill 20 South Koreans by himself then why weren't they more successful?).

Anyway, interesting as propaganda and an insight in to how the North still is. Enjoy (or humour me and watch the first 20 minutes).

The film is called Order 027.
