Man Bites Man | |
| A Hard Day / int_1592e954 | comment |
Man Bites Man: Park briefly bites on Gun-su's calp on the final fight. It's not really effective. | |

Chekhov's Gun | |
| A Hard Day / int_22cf536c | comment |
Chekhov's Gun: The confiscated Improvised Explosive Device is demonstrated early in the movie. It gets used again at the lake. The showerhead that always pumps out hot water in Gun-su's bathroom is mentioned offscreen. It gets used in the final fight. | |

Bittersweet Ending | |
| A Hard Day / int_40cc0c7e | comment |
Bittersweet Ending: Gun-su manages to defeat Lieutenant Park through a mix of his wits (when he tries to kill Park with a car bomb implanted in the dead man's body but it weakened him instead in the climax which gives him a slight advantage) and sheer luck (when Park accidentally kills himself when he tried to get the gun). But, Gun-su is arrested for drunk driving, lose his job, and the department covered up the incident in order to retain their reputation. Fortunately, Gun-Su manages to find Park's capsule containing the location of his secret stash of money. | |

| A Hard Day / int_55009528 | comment |
Combat Break Down: The fight between Park and Gun-su in the climax. Both sides are physically and mentally exhausted, so the fight doesn't look pretty in the slightest. Wimp Fight: At one point, they just lying there, grunting and pushing each other's faces. | |
