A bungling narc squad takes over a fried chicken place across the street from the drug dealer's headquarters they are staking out. When their unique recipe is a surprise hit they become so busy serving food that they start to lose sight of their target. Bowed but unbeaten these underdogs find another chance to prove their mettle against the odds as they use their own idiosyncratic skills and methods to hunt down the kingpin. This practically redefines the action comedy genre with laugh out loud antics, real life drama, vicious thrills and breathtaking stunt choreography. Hollywood remake in the works.......Post-screening #CHIMAEK-PARTY [Korean's beloved combo of fried chicken + beer] with delectable food tastings especially made to match the film: BBQ Chicken KTown, Chapati Man, Halal Guys, Makku! HITE BEER and JINRO SOJU!......SVA MEMBERS: use code SVAmemberWS20 and show ID at the Theatre.

For our festival, our wonderful friends at Koreatown’s popular BBQ Chicken Ktown will debut their brand new "Galbi" fried chicken to coincide with the film’s smash hit "Suwon Galbi” flavor. Expanding the experience, we add a range of tasty delectables like New York mainstays The Halal Guys and Chapati Man. Throw in some chilled Hite beer, Jinro soju and try out the brand new makgeolli brewers Makku and you’ve got the perfect opening night for fans of NYAFF.
