"KUNDO" Kang Dong-won practices action
The most anticipated film this summer is "KUNDO : Age of the Rampant" starringKang Dong-won.
Kang Dong-won, in the role of Jo Yoon, performed all action scenes on his own without a stunt double. He's also been training for four months prior to the intense action scenes which he's had to perform during production. His training included swinging the sword hundreds of times every day at action school.
Unlike the action he showed in the previous film"Duelist", the action here required a lot more strength, as the sword was made especially for him. He's restricted himself to a strict rule which is repeating the same moves hundreds of times, boosting his strength. Not only that, he's also been focusing on weight training since he faces a huge army by himself in the film.
Kang Dong-wonsaid, "I am sure there are people who are better than me and can perform stunts for me, but I think it'd be more interesting for the audience if I did the action myself".
"KUNDO: The Age of the Rampant" is an historical action film about an army of honest soldiers who join forces with the people of the country during times of corruption and exploitation.Ha Jeong-woostars in this movie as Do Chi andKang Dong-wonstars as his opponent Jo Yoon.
