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

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

The best part has got to be the guy shooting on top of the wall and then performing a backflip.
This excessiveness reminds me of the 1980s movie series American Ninja starring Michael Dudikoff. The plots normally revolved around Dudikoff venturing to a far away land, only to encounter, of course, ninjas.
