Sometime in the future, mankind has depleted all energy and fuel sources, however they have engineered a way to use human excrement as fuel. To reward production, the government hands out extremely addictive, popsicle-like "Juicybars", which in turn also act as a laxative. Aachi and Ssipak are street hoodlums who struggle to survive by trading these bars in the black market.

Dotsthavesp I wanted to but couldn't!
AshUnow This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.
Sameer Callahan It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.
Griff Lees Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.
Andrei Pavlov The good thing is the background plot. And you can read it on the DVD covers and even here.The way this plot comes alive is awkward and tasteless. I'll name a few unacceptable things.1) "The Diaper Gang"It is a complete failure (first of all in art design) - come on, we made much cooler pictures of villains at school though we did it just for fun. And here the Korean guys earn money by THIS? Such green little one-dimension figures with UZI-guns or whatever. However much blood you draw when representing their deaths this will always look like a drawing of a spoilt kindergarten child or a violent grown-up moron. The characters of "Beavis & Butthead" were at least funny at times and quite friendly. I mention "The Diaper Gang" because it is a key element in the flick. It occupies the majority of this feature and that's very irritating to watch this moronic daub.2) Scenes (remakes/remixes) and concepts from other moviesThe Korean guys are stealing concepts from "Alien", "Mad Max", "Indiana Jones", "Basic Instinct", and "RoboCop" just to name most obvious "borrowings". Should I say that the tree mentioned films are cult classics and will be remembered by the movie fans forever? It all looks and feels that these Korean guys have nothing to say and the only thing they can do is stealing other men's ideas.3) Satanic materialYes, you see it correctly. What is it, if not satanic material that goes at the beginning of the cartoon? Quite possibly, the creators of this "new-wave entertainment" are the followers of some satanic cult because a more a less normal person (even an atheist) would have never used such provoking images in a film and would have never promoted this kind of "pop-art" so fiercely.4) Unfunny comedy elementsCannot name even one funny scene: they are either too rude and sinister or too stupid and interfering.Korea should be ashamed for promoting such poor product. It made the situation even more uncomfortable as I watched the promos and advertisement material on the DVD (little kids smiling, Korean girl shouting something like "Ssipak!!!", guys waiving with flags, etc.) - it really makes me doubt the Koreans in general. Let's just say that they look very awkward promoting this kind of video product. Maybe you'd point out: "It's just a little funny-silly cartoon, take it easy!" And I'd say: "No, dear viewers, what we have here is an abomination which should have never been born. Entertainment, however wicked and silly, should have some boundaries and you know it."So, if you like artless projects, enjoy satanism, and are in love with poor remakes/remixes of the good movies, go for it! You'll love this one.I still hope that those happy gals, guys, and children, which were promoting this abomino-animation had not actually seen it and were paid for their "Hoorah!" words. Otherwise Korea (SOUTH) is in big trouble to cherish and advertise rotten products like this. I could not believe my eyes when they showed a little kid of about 5 years old who was supposed to represent the praise of this cartoon. Did the Koreans suggest that even such children could watch and enjoy THIS? Is it a "PG" material in their country?As mentioned above, the background plot is good. I really think so. And this feature shows vividly how an original plot can go down the toilet. They could have done a groovy post-apocalyptic drama. But that requires real talent like that of John Carpenter, James Cameron, Ridley Scott, and George Miller – something that these South-Korean guys and girls are missing so badly…If you want a real gem of Korean cinema, go get "Hong kil dong" (1986). But that's North Korea - militant, poor, rejected by the "World's Greatest Empires", etc. And what does South Korea with all its tons of money and luxurious living conditions produce? Read the review from the beginning – that's what. Sad but true…1 out of 10 and keep your children far away from this dung. Thanks for attention.
ElijahCSkuggs Aachi and Ssipak is one film I've been wanting to see for a while now, and lemme just say "Wahoo!" for it satisfied my expectations. But not for the poopiness, but for the insane amount of violence and nods to famous film. Well, the poopiness is also a plus.Story revolves around poop being the only(?) resource for energy, addictive Popsicles called Juicy-bars which you're rewarded with if you make a poop, and lots of little mutants who use Juicy-Bars as their means of provision. Oh, you can throw in Aachi and Ssipak if you want, but the real enjoyment comes from the violence you watch whenever the Diaper Gang is on screen. There is also a main villain who leads the Diaper Gang, but at times you seem to root for him, which was a nice touch. And then there is Geko, one of the best fighting machines you'll ever see. He's only killing little blue freaks, but hell, those lil blue freaks carry uzi's and machine guns, and Geko takes care of them without a stutter.Aachi and Ssipak was 2/3rds awesome violence, and the other third is slightly tedious story-filler. And weirdly, that's when A and S are on screen. Sure they're in some of the fights, but mainly, they're second fiddles to the Villain and Geko, and all the little blue freaks known as the Diaper Gang.Overall though, this is a welcome addition to any fan of animation who likes the weird and violent as well. I dug the heck outta this film for it's unique animation style, which seemed to combine the show DUCKMAN and the film AKIRA. And with a unique story, good characters and great violence, this is one flick I'm sure I'll be adding to my collection very soon.
Seth This is the best cartoon movie I saw in the last few years. Surely a movie for adults, you'll find it out in the first 2 minutes where the body count starts raising, and rockets to the sky.Hope this wont take away anyones appetite watching it, because this is a movie with lots of black humor, beautifully graphics, lots of action.Why not to watch it? Disgusting, sick story, 3-4 deaths for each minute.Why to watch it? Disgusting, sick, and 3-4 deaths for each minute.You either like it, either hate it.The good guys are violent hoodlums who want to get rich by selling drugs on the black market, the bad guys are the diaper gang, the police is the tyrannic force in the city. The power source of the future is human feces. And the state collects it and rewards the people with addictive juicy bars. The funniest characters are the ant like diaper gang members. They are the addicts of the drug that can be received after defecation. These poor guys/girls (they have no longer any sex) need the juicy bars, but because they cannot defecate they have to find other ways to get the desired food. In their efforts they loose their live by the dozens. Mostly because of the cyborg police officer Geco. He is like Robocop, defying the laws of physics, mainly with unlimited ammo usage. The diaper gang calls themselves orphans of the city. Their small size, and as they act I think they are like kids turned into addicts. (Despite the original story that they were normal citizens.) The rest of the characters are bad guys too: Aachi and Ssipak are always arguing on something. They are marauders attacking people on the toilet. Beautiful the woman is a porn star, or prostitute. The leader of the police is much like an angry chiwawa: a little blonde girl, shouting with her inferior officers.Overall: lots of action, lots of location, good storyline, weird ideas.
michael@piston.net Warning: this film is vulgar and violent. If you can't get beyond the fact that there is much too much discussion of defecation and killing in this film then don't watch it. But for those who can overlook the aggressively adolescent fascination with feces and fighting will find beyond it a rather diverting discussion of political instability. Much like the Cambodia government of 1975 or any number of contemporary African government, the political authorities of the world envisioned by this film are facing an insurgency of fanatical children soldier led by a cult-like totalitarian leader. And much like the same governments, the authorities respond with equally ruthless violence and complete indifference to the well-being of their citizens or even allies. Trapped between these two equally vicious groups are our anti-heroes, interested only in making easy money. Their anti-heroic struggle against overwhelming odds to control the unlikely source of energy in their bizarre world should be an inspiration to entrepreneurs everywhere.
