10 Comic Book Films That Ignored The Source (That Fans Still Loved)

The shocking 2003 Korean Park Chan-Wook film that has redefined the action movie genre was inspired by the Manga by the same name, written by Garon Tsuchiya and drawn by Nobuaki Minegishi.
When I say inspired, I really mean just inspired – The Grand Prix 2004 Cannes Festival movie winner simply took the premise of the original story, added loads more violence, the lauded “corridor” fight scene and even the infamous revelation at the end!
That’s right - for once - the movie is MUCH more gruesome than the comic!
