Story
The old world. A world governed by rules like honor, family, and tradition. Three great civilizations were ruled this way for centuries.
Long ago the greatest battles were not for land, or tyranic rule... but rather, a recipe. A recipe shrouded in legend. A recipe... for Kimchi.
Everybody wishes to steal Korea's Kimchi Spell Book, gain its power for themselves and subvert the Korean spirit. Each generation has brought forth a single champion to protect the potent magic, the KIMCHI WARRIOR. Receiving supernatural fighting abilities and astounding martial arts skills from a magical Kimchi recipe hidden within the book, he takes on the burden of a vital mission: protect the book and pass its secrets down to his descendants ensuring the future of the Korean spirit and the legend of the Kimchi Warrior.
The next in line for this responsibility, Dongsik knows nothing of his destiny. The son of an immigrant shopkeeper in Los Angeles, he knows only the drudgery of work in a small supermarket and the kimchi kitchen in back. But when the brutal warlord who killed Dongsik's father, comes to the U.S. and sends thugs to search for the book, his time has come.
Dongsik's mother reveals his secret heritage. The clumsy, cabbage scented young man must step into his proper role, defend the secret of his family and protect the spirit of his people.
If he's lucky, while he's at it he might just be able to win the heart of the blond American cop he loves.
THE MASK meets RUMBLE IN THE BRONX in this martial arts comedy about a lovable loser who becomes a superhero and then discovers he is worthy of the job.
