What's left behind the scenes
- For his role in the film, Choi Min-sik rigorously trained in the gym for six weeks and lost 10 kg, after which he performed almost all of the stunts himself.
- The phrase “Laugh, and the whole world laughs with you. Weep, and you weep alone,” which appears repeatedly in the film, is a quote from the poem “Solitude” by American poet Ella Wilcox.
- The fight scene in the prison corridor was filmed in one take, took three days to shoot, and used very little computer graphics – only the knife sticking out of Oh Dae-su’s back was digitally added.
- In the scene where Oh Dae-su dances with toy wings at the police station, actor Choi Min-sik asked the cinematographer to include his feet in the shot – he wanted to imitate Michael Jackson’s famous “moonwalk”.
- 300 actresses auditioned for the role of Mi-do, and in the end, Kang Hye-jung was unanimously chosen.
- For the role of Lee Woo-jin, the director wanted to find an actor who would appear as little like a villain as possible, and initially wanted to cast Han Suk-kyu, who had previously played the rival of Choi Min-sik's character in the film 'Shiri'.
- The chairman of the Cannes Film Festival jury, Quentin Tarantino, called the film an absolute masterpiece and voted for it to be awarded the Palme d'Or, but the film was one vote short of winning the prize.
- The final scene in the snowy forest was filmed in New Zealand.
- The scene of eating a live octopus was filmed in four takes.
- In Korea, they do indeed eat live octopuses, but they are usually cut into pieces beforehand. Having won the Grand Prix at the Cannes Film Festival, the director publicly thanked the octopus alongside the actors and the film crew.
- Actor Choi Min-sik is a Buddhist, and before eating the live octopus, he had to pray.
- Quentin Tarantino admitted that the film deeply touched him – he cried along with the antagonist and was surprised by his own reaction, because by that point he had already come to hate him.
- In one interview, Park Chan-wook said that he deliberately made the ending of the film ambiguous, so that viewers could decide for themselves whether Oh Dae-su had managed to bury his memories or not.
- For his role in the film, Choi Min-sik rigorously trained in the gym for six weeks and lost 10 kg, after which he performed almost all of the stunts himself.
