Strange, disjointed North Korean film

I saw a Chinese-language dub of this a few years ago, and the deepest impression it gave me was of several films that were started by different directors, not finished, but then edited together. It starts out as a really interesting-looking military film, and then it suddenly becomes sort of a spy film, then sort of a kung-fu film, and so on. In each of these parts, the look is totally different, and I'm not even sure if all the characters appeared consistently throughout the film.

Mostly, it's interesting as an oddity, if you've never seen a North Korean movie before. I don't know if this is a spoiler or not, but for me, the most memorable part was when the North Korean spies snuck over the border to the South. According to this film, the only vehicles in South Korea are jeeps that have "US army" spray-painted on the front, and South Koreans are all incredibly hairy and wear foot-long crucifixes around their necks.
