Lasseter explained, "as we started Cars 3, we went back to every recording we did on Cars 1 and catalogued and listened to it all, and ended up with a lot of material that we could use lines that were cut from the original film and never used, as well as some of those pieces from in-between takes. In-between takes, he would tell me stories about great races, and you could hear the passion in his voice." Those recordings made it possible for Doc Hudson to reappear in this movie, released over eight years after Newman's death.

A guy with a talent for cards makes his way into the dangerous world of underground gambling in this crime thriller from South. It's safe to say that TAJJA will inspire many more gambling features, though it would be hard to surpass the originality and style of this film.In June 2017, Entertainment Weekly reported that during the voice-actor recording process for Cars (2006), director John Lasseter spent a lot of time in the recording booth with Paul Newman, who often regaled him with stories about his life and his many years as a race car driver.

The narrative almost manages to support a love story, though there's no room in a gambler's heart for true love. The narrative is set out in a series of "lessons" any prospective gambler must learn with each lesson, the risks become increasingly challenging. As such, this often feels like THE STING, but with a more brutal core. Most intriguing of all is the Korean card game that frames the action - a game that attracts die-hard gamblers and a small group of cheats who live off the system. TAJJA has style to burn, and from the very start, there's flashbacks, split-screens, hyperbolic action, and the expected doses of melodrama in the story of a young gambler's rise to fame. Normally I’d have serious misgivings about a movie based on a comic book, as I associate that with mainstream, superhero action movies (i.e., the same association that makes most people respond.

Hong Kong gambling flicks go in and out of fashion, but the genre is relatively new in South Korean cinema, and TAJJA can be extraordinarily entertaining.
