But can someone who has seen this film tell me who the boys with the belts were, and who they were beating?

As far as I can recall that it left a pretty good impression on me too when I watched it on youtube almost a year ago but your question my friend, reminds me an extreme need of a 2nd viewing asap. :o

It also shied away from the usual Korean tendency to weave together a story so abstruse that needs an explicit visual explanation towards its denouement. Instead, this is simply a driving movie that never lets up, with side-stories constantly interfering with our players best intents to motor on with their nefarious deeds, whether they be pimping their chicks or bashing their brains in. Heroes and villains alike are thick in character, some being richly complex and unlikeable, others hiding their filth behind a wall of believably simplicity. The action is so wonderfully authentic, spiced with occasional bumblings, that we come to appreciate each and every blow with with some well earned flinching. At times a tad gruesome and brutal, a Hollywood ending is definitely not in the cards. Merci beaucoup.

Oh, though haven't give it a watch yet but after reading your review, at the moment I'm feeling very glad that at least I have the dvd in my collection.:o

Hausu aka House (1977)
Weird, magical and hilarious (even the name of the characters: Mac, Sweet, Fanta, Kung Fu!:D); that makes a totally different & wonderful addition to the sub genre of Haunted House films. Loved it.
