Two dummies join the army and immediately regret every life choice. Peak 1950s Korean chaos.
A Skinny and a Fatty go to Nonsan army training camp, but they soon find camp life is too hard for them. A nonsensical comedy filled with funny episodes that will make you smile broadly.

Physical comedy that predates CGI by decades—actual human bodies getting thrown around

Those hilariously oversized 1950s ROK army uniforms on mismatched frames

Yang and Yang's Laurel-and-Hardy energy across language barriers
Director
Hwa-rang Kim
Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Released during Korea's post-war reconstruction, this poked fun at mandatory military service long before it became a controversial cinematic topic.
Director Hwa-rang Kim was reportedly inspired by actual recruits he observed at Nonsan, making this possibly the first Korean found-comedy.
