Aachi and Ssipak is a 2006 animated South Korean film, directed by Jo Beom-jin and animated by Studio Flying.
In the future, poop has become the main energy source. All citizens are implanted with anal identity chips at birth; and when they defecate in public stalls, they receive an addictive, hallucinogenic popsicle called a juicybar as a reward. If too many are eaten, juicybars can cause people to transform into small, blue, and stupid mutants. These mutants have been organized by a Hitleresque charismatic leader named The Diaper King, into a revolutionary cell called The Diaper Gang and they are constantly hounded by police forces, aided by an unstoppable government cyborg. Everyone wants to control the juicybar supply - the police, the mob, and the Diaper Gang. Jimmy the Freak, a drug-addled porn director, stumbles onto a means of tricking the system into over-dispensing juicybars and he hands this information to the leader of the Diapers. They then recruit porn star/wannabe-actress Beauty (a woman imbued with the power to defecate several times a day) to be the vessel for a blessed anal chip and soon accidentally lose her to Aachi and Ssipak, small time hoodlums who make a living stealing juicybars from other people. This results in the police, the mob, and the Diaper Gang all chasing after them.
With over the top Gorn and Toilet Humor, it's definitely not for kids.
An English Gag Dub was made by the makers of Dick Figures. It will be divided in 18 chapters, with one chapter released weekly on Mondo Media's YouTube channel. The full movie can be bought on iTunes.
Aachi and Ssipak has examples of:
- Action Survivor: Beauty is definitely one but even the two main characters tend to try to escape more than they actually fight (see Dirty Coward). Most of the death and bloodshed is between the antagonists.
- Adorable Evil Minions: The Diaper Gang are short, blue, have squeaky voices, and even have funny little motorcycle/robot-legs to ride in. One would almost feel sorry for them as they are killed violently but it's just too Bloody Hilarious. That, and they are psychotic killers.
- Back from the Dead: Jimmy the Freak and Geko. Well, sort of.
- Badass Preacher: Diaper King think's he's a messiah and is one of the few people who can go toe to toe with Geko. And actually succeeds in killing him, twice
- Bad Boss: Diaper King and chief of police.
- Batman Cold Open: The film starts with the Diaper Gang getting killed by Geko. The title characters show up a few seconds later and have little to do with the previous scene aside from running over a half-dead mutant.
- Big Brother Is Watching: The government has the ability to monitor people's defecations. This allows them to track down Beauty.
- Bilingual Bonus: Aachi and Ssipak have names that sound a lot like Korean swear words. The equivalent would be an English language movie named "Dammat and Fook".
- Black Blood: Geko due to being a cyborg-zombie.
- Better to Die than Be Killed: Faced with imminent death at the hands of two hideously modified blue mutants, the Chief resolves to kill herself with her own pistol. Completely subverted when one of the mutants slices her arm off before she can pull the trigger.
- Butt-Monkey: Jimmy the Freak can't seem to get a break, even after death.
- Cool Bike: Almost everyone has one. It's an After the End movie. What did you expect?
- Cool Shades: Geko and Aachi.
- Crapsack World: With the world reduced to using crap as a fuel source. It's as bad as it sounds.
- Damsel in Distress: Beauty.
- Determinator: Geko the cyborg cop.
- Does This Remind You of Anything?: The Diaper King and his Diaper Gang subordinates are eerily similar to the country of North Korea and the Kim Jong dynasty that rules it, given how the Diaper King often talks about starting a revolution against the non-mutated people of the setting and portraying them as their oppressors, while simultaneously treating his own subordiantes like crap and executing them at the drop of a hat just for not being of use to him, clearly referencing the hypocrisy of the North Korean government. There's also the Cult of Personality he runs within his own gang, as he has them paint murals of him as a savior figure, and some of these murals depict the Diaper Gang as a noble military rather than the gang of bloodthirsty thugs they are.
- Dog Food Diet: It's implied that the blue mutants feed Beauty dog food so she can defecate and make more Juicybars.
- Dirty Coward: After Geko knocks Ssipak unconscious, Aachi threatens him and then promptly runs and hides behind his motorcycle.
- Disturbed Doves: Parodied.
- Dub Name Change: The English dub changes Beauty's name to Beautiful.
- Elite Mooks: The Diaper King has Dr. Strange create cybernetic, Frankenstein's Monster-like supermutants made out of the corpses of deceased diaper gang members as well as various human corpses in the last hours of the film, which range from hulking brutes with great strength, to a superfast, blade-wielding duo that can keep up with speeding vehicles and slice faster than the naked eye can see, and even two headed monsters who have miniguns replacing their forearms. Another duo of supermutants who ride a superpowered skateboard and a motorcycle show up during the minecart sequence to give Geko a fight.
- Enfant Terrible: The chief. Though she could just be a psychotic woman with stunted growth. Considering Korean society's obsession with cuteness and youth, she is likely supposed to be a satire of that aspect of the culture.
- Everyone Calls Him "Barkeep": Only Aachi, Ssipak and Geko are named. Everyone else goes by their title (even Beauty).
- Evil Versus Evil: The Diaper Gang vs. The Government vs. The Mafia
- Fiery Redhead: Aachi.
- Gorn: There's plenty of it anytime Geko's guns are going off.
- Karma Houdini: Not only does Dr. Strange manage to escape during the onslaught, in the end credits, he's shown working on a new cyborg model using the corpses of the leader of the Diaper Gang and the Chief.
- Living MacGuffin: Beauty, for her ability to get lots of juicybars.
- Mad Scientist: Dr. Strange.
- Mooks: The Diaper Gang.
- Mushroom Samba: Jimmy goes through one.
- Mutants: The Diaper Gang, again. They're what happens when people have one too many juicybars.
- Ninja Pirate Zombie Robot: Or rather a Ninja-Cop-Zombie-Cyborg in Geko's case.
- No-Holds-Barred Beatdown:
- Geko vs. Ssipak. It doesn't go well for Ssipak.
- After the Diaper King shoots him twice in the chest, Geko gives one to him as well.
- Off with His Head!: A common way in which Diaper Gang mooks die.
- Police Are Useless: They don't fare too well overall, but they at least have Geko on their side.
- The Quiet One: Geko rarely speaks.
- Shout Outs: This movie has some really warped shout outs to Alien, Misery, Basic Instinct, RoboCop, Superman, and Batman as well as a constipated Mickey Mouse.
- The face and general head shape of the police captain heavily resembles the DCAU version of Superman, with the only difference being that his eyes are different, along with him being blond and having a more pale skintone to fit in with the movies palette.
- The scene where Beauty is bouncing down a huge flight of stairs while strapped to a motorcycle could be a subtle parody of the Baby Carriage sequence in The Battleship Potemkin (or the one in The Untouchables (1987), though that is itself a shout-out to Potemkin).
- In one scene a cashier closes her station as gas-masked mooks run by, which is a shout out to Monsters, Inc..
- There's a minecart chase scene lifted directly from Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom.
- In one very brief scene, Beauty looks like Uma Thurman on the poster for Pulp Fiction.
- The Diaper Gang mutants resemble dearranged versions of the The Smurfs, due to their blue skin and how they all wear white headwear.
- Rewarded as a Traitor Deserves: The leader of the Diaper Gang mouths these words before shooting the Captain who ends up betraying the Chief.
- Rollerblade Good:
- Geko has a pair of rocket-powered skates. Built-in, of course.
- The Diaper Gang combines this with Cool Bike, resulting in a Rollerskating bike-pony.
- Rule of Cool: All over the place. Geko is easily the most heavily subjected to this, due to his superhuman agility and fighting abilities that enable him to pull off feats like shooting at a bunch of Diaper Gang members so quickly that him shooting them is shown as afterimages of his arms firing his pistols as well as breakdancing to throw a ceritfiable hailstorm of grenades that an army of Diaper Gang members tossed at him.
- Taking You with Me: Geko has a bomb in his chest as a last resort. Near the end, Geko handcuffs the Daiper Gang Leader to himself and activates the bomb.
- Toilet Humor: The plot revolves around a dung-powered world. Go figure.
- Top-Heavy Guy: A lot of the male characters tend to have long torso's and large arms while also having short legs due to the film's stylistic anatomy. Some notable examples are Ssipak, Geko, and the Police Captain.
- Wardrobe Malfunction: Beauty slips up at least once due to her bouncing breasts.
