Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Attack the Gas Station! is a 1999 South Korean comedy film. A gang of four disaffected young men (No-Mark, Rockstar, Paint and Mad Dog), bored and fed up with their existence in urban South Korea, decide to rob a gas station they held up earlier that week (according to the title cards, either "Just because", or "For fun!"). When the spineless manager of the station lies to them about where the money is kept, they decide instead to hold the attendants hostage, fill the tank of anyone who comes in and pocket the money for themselves. As the night goes on, stranger and stranger things start happening to them, including run-ins with gangsters, politicians, angry delivery boys, a noisy car which keeps driving past, and the police.Rule of Cool and Rule of Funny are in wide use here. This film could be considered a Lighter and Softer take on such crime comedies as Lock, Stock & Two Smoking Barrels, which is also about four small-time criminals who get in over their heads, although in a different way. At the same time, it features commentary on the socioeconomic and educational conditions of modern South Korea and the effects they have on its youth.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })A sequel was released in 2010.

Delinquents, of the rarely-depicted Korean variety, which look a bit like Japanese 'yankees'.

Heroic Comedic Sociopath: The four mains, who take over a gas station because they were bored, and proceed to abuse the staff, though they get much better by the end. Potentially offputting.

Berserk Button: Several. Don't harass the Delivery Boys too many times in an evening after the store is closed. Paint's is pressed whenever he sees worker slogans, making him destroy them by any means necessary. Rockstar needs his music. Don't call Mad Dog stupid...
