The Good, the Bad, the Weird is a colorful Korean film that plays homage to The Good, the Bad and the Ugly, and a self described "Kimchi Western" by Word of God. While the original is an epic Spaghetti Western, the remake is a more fast-paced and less serious action film.Three Koreans in exile cross paths in 1941 Manchuria during the Japanese occupation. Park Chang-yi (Lee Byung-hun), the hitman/bandit leader, is hired to steal a treasure map from a Japanese official, but a train robber, Yoon Tae-goo (Song Kang-ho), beats him to the punch — only to be captured by a Bounty Hunter, Park Do-won (Jung Woo-sung). Tae-goo talks Do-won into helping him search for the treasure instead, and they set off through the desert together, with Chang-yi's gang and the Japanese army in pursuit. During the action-filled chase that follows, each of the three turns out to have some hidden motives.Compare and contrast with Sukiyaki Western Django, another East Asian film that is a unique take on the Western.

Rasputinian Death: All three main characters take about a dozen bullets before going down. We never see Man-gil again after his torture in the Ghost Market, so it's likely that after being slashed, thrown through a window by Chang-yi, stabbed in the leg, had a knife dug into his finger and got dragged through the ground on a horse, this may have happened to him.

Never Trust a Trailer: The international trailer plays up the scenes between Do-won and Tae-goo, when in fact they have very few scenes together and team up only briefly.

Anachronism Stew: With most of the military hardware. The film is set in 1941; the military trucks and jeeps, being mostly post-WWII models (but still Imperial Army soldiers are the most accurately outfitted to the time period, plus Do-won, Chang-yi and Tae-goo's guns are period accurate).

comment
Why Am I Ticking?: When Tae-goo commandeers a Japanese jeep and throws the driver out, he stuffs a lit stick of dynamite down the back of the driver's pants. The driver has a few seconds to realise something is horribly wrong before he blows up. Later, in the Korean ending, Tae-goo is very slow to realise the stick of dynamite in his hand is close to blowing up. He throws it away, though.

Action Survivor: Tae-goo seems to be this; no-one knows what skills he has, they just know that he survives no matter what you throw at him. In several scenes he gets away only because Do-won helps him out. In truth, though, this is Obfuscating Stupidity, and he is in fact a textbook Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass. Subverted in the international cut, played straight in the extended Korean version.

Worthless Yellow Rocks
 The Good, The Bad, The Weird / int_83856158
comment
Worthless Yellow Rocks: The so-called treasure map actually led to an oil well, which is of no value to the protagonists. This kind of seems to evoke The Treasure of the Sierra Madre especially in the version of the film where all three protagonists die needlessly. In other versions, there's a consolation in that Tae-goo and possibly Do-won as well are implied to have left with some of the loot Chang-yi brought with him.

Rewatch Bonus: Quite a few, mostly centered around Tae-goo: Tae-goo easily picking off the soldiers in the car without knowing how many there are or what they're armed with; Tae-goo being able to hold his own against the massive club-wielding thug in the market, whereas Do-won was overpowered by him almost immediately at the beginning of the film; Chang-yi shooting his henchman for indirectly insulting him by calling Tae-goo a loser.

Anti-Hero: Do-won. It's interesting to note that if one tallies kill counts throughout the film by the three protagonists, Chang-yi (The Bad) is the least murderous of the three while Do-won (The Good) racks up the highest body count. This reflects the on-screen kill count in The Good, the Bad and the Ugly: Angel Eyes (The Bad), for all of his Offscreen Villainy, has the lowest body count of three, while Blondie (The Good) has the highest body count: 11.

Ass Shove: Tae-goo kills two people this way. When the Japanese Army officers find the bodies, they think he's a pervert.

Opium Den: Tae-goo ends up in one, though he's really only looking for a room to spend the night.

Shout-Out
 The Good, The Bad, The Weird / int_c75df49a
comment
Shout-Out Toward the end of the film, Chang-yi shoots off Tae-goo's hat and keeps shooting it every time Tae-goo tries to retrieve it from the ground. This is quite similar to a scene in For a Few Dollars More where Monco and Colonel Mortimer do this to each other. During the climactic standoff, a panning shot shows Chang-yi and Tae-goo in the distance, with Do-won in the foreground, seen from the back, wearing his longcoat and carrying his Winchester rifle. This mirrors the scene in Once Upon a Time in the West. The music when Byung-choon and his gang arrive at the ocean is reminiscent of Cheyenne's theme. In the alternative ending, it's revealed that Tae-goo pulled the same trick as Joe in A Fistful of Dollars. When Do-won is about to shoot Tae-goo's motorcycle, he whistles in a similar manner to the bounty hunter at the beginning of For a Few Dollars More.

Gun Twirling

comment
Gun Twirling: Chang-yi does this at several points; most notably before holstering his gun after killing one of his mooks who suggested that Tae-goo might have bested him a duel. Do-won does it with his rifle.

Expy: Do-won, Tae-goo and Chang-yi are Expies of Blondie, Tuco and Angel Eyes, respectively. Chang-yi's employee could also count as one of Baker from the same film. This counts for triple in Do-won's case as Blondie is himself an Expy of Sanjuro Kuwabatake, who was himself based on the protagonist of Red Harvest.

Talking Is a Free Action: Subverted. Chang-yi's boss gets sick of him and holds a gun to him, but goes off on a rant and brags that he can't dodge a bullet. Chang-yi proceeds to drive a knife into the back of the man's neck.

Pet the Dog: Tae-goo's kindness to those children. Do-won's expression of idealistic sentiments might also qualify. He's not a bad guy to begin with, but is more sympathetic after showing he does his work because of a code, not just for the cash.
