"If I had to do that over," Lee said, "I would have just taken out a couple motherf*ckers. But I wasn't lying though!"
In addition to "Red Hook Summer," Lee also spoke about progress on the upcoming film "Oldboy." According to Spike, the American remake of the infamously brutal 2003 South Korean flick is currently "waiting for the green light."

(Lee was confirmed as director almost a year ago.)
