The Foul King (Korean: 반칙왕; RR: Banchikwang) is a 2000 South Korean sport comedy-drama film, written and directed by Kim Jee-woon.

Like the director's debut film, The Foul King also stars Song Kang-ho, this time as an incompetent bank clerk who takes up a career in professional wrestling, adopting the moniker "The Foul King" in the ring.

[1] Im Dae-ho (Song Kang-ho) has been a huge fan of professional wrestling since his childhood.

In South Korea, a wrestler called Kim Il was a big star in the 1970s, but Dae-ho preferred a cheating fighter called Ultra Tiger Mask.

Years later, when his job at a bank isn't going well, Dae-ho decides to try professional wrestling himself.
