Program Note

Tiger’s Trigger (Saber Tooth) is a term for felines with gigantic canines, which do not exist anymore. A girl, who is nursing her hospitalized mother, happens to pick up a Russian gun and shifty cops barge in, looking for it. An old wordless man whose wife is in the same ward, saves her from the danger. Tiger’s Trigger can be considered an older version of The Man from Nowhere (2010) starring by Won Bin, or a Korean version of Liam Neeson’s Taken series. It is overwhelming just to be able to see the presence of two actors who were very active in Hong Kong, Casanova Wong who jumps over huge tables to make a flying kick in Warriors Two (1978) and Won Jin, who performs acrobatic action with the unique scorpion pose in Operation Scorpio (1992). It is also touching to see them step back and actively intervene with the girl and the pistol in the story. (JU Sungchul)
