Picture-3

The clip is real—it is taken from a real 2003 BBC Documentary called The Real Dr. Evil (You can download the entire documentary).

Chosun Ilbo even reported on it.

The man interviewed is Lee Young Kuk, a North Korean defector who claims to have been one of Kim Jong Il’s bodyguards.

Whether the footage really depicts Kim’s bodyguards … I have my doubts. Given Kim Jong Il’s … um … love of cinema, it might just be a clip from a North Korean propaganda movie.

It’s still awesome, though.
