The Good, the Bad, the Weird is a Korean "western" inspired by Sergio Leone's The Good, the Bad and the Ugly. A "kimchi western" as director Kim Ji-woon described it, it was released in South Korea in 2008, and in limited release in the United States in 2010. It stars Jung Woo-sung as Park Do-won (The Good, a bounty hunter) Lee Byung-hun as Park Chang-yi (The Bad, a hitman) and Song Kang-ho as Yoon Tae-goo (The Weird, a thief) as they and other interested parties chase buried treasure (and each other) across Japanese-occupied Manchuria during the 1930's.
The following weapons were used in the film The Good, the Bad, the Weird:
Handguns
Webley Mk IV
Park Chang-yi (Lee Byung-hun) is seen most with a Webley Mk IV revolver. His henchmen also carry them. (The movie poster above shows Park Chang-yi holding the Webley in his bare left hand. Anyone who has seen the movie knows this is a goof. His image appears to be reversed, as his boy-band hair is supposed to cover his RIGHT eye.)
Walther P38
Yoon Tae-goo (Kang-ho Song) uses a pair of Walther P38's throughout the film.
Special
A featurette shows how the first person shot was achieved.
Colt Official Police
Many of the henchmen in the film are armed with Colt Official Police revolvers.
Smith & Wesson Model 1917
Park Do-won (Jung Woo-sung) appears to carry an Smith & Wesson Model 1917 as his sidearm. He clearly favors his rifle and his shotgun, however, only using his sidearm twice.
Nambu Type 14
One of Park Chang-yi's henchmen and Imperial Japanese Army officers use Nambu Type 14 pistols.
Luger P08
One of The Bad's henchmen fires a Luger P08 at the Weird.
Colt Detective Special 1st Gen
First Gen Colt Detective Specials are seen throughout the film.
Special
Director Jee-woon Kim appears to be using a Colt Detective Special to signal action.
Webley Mk VI
Byung-choon (Je-mun Yun) carries a Webley Mk VI for parts of the film.
Mauser C96
A member of the Ghost Market gang is armed with a Mauser C96.
Submachine Guns
Lanchester Mk. I*
One of Park Chang-yi's henchmen briefly fires a British Lanchester Mk. I* submachine gun during the fight at the Ghost Market. Park Chang-yi himself later uses one as well.
Shotguns
Double Barreled Shotgun
A hammerless Double barreled shotgun is used by Park Do-won for the first half of the film. He seems to prefer long guns to pistols.
Rifles/Carbines
Mauser M1908
The Bad uses a Mauser M1908 to try to snipe the Weird. The vast majority of the henchmen in the film are either armed with Mausers, Mosin Nagant rifles, or Arisaka rifles. A Mauser 1908 with a scope later shows up.
Mosin Nagant M1891
Many of the henchmen in the film are armed with original Mosin Nagant M1891 rifles.
Lee-Enfield No. 1 Mk III
Byeong-choon carries an Lee-Enfield No. 1 Mk III.
Marlin Model 1894
Park Do-won's primary weapon is an anachronistic Marlin Model 1894C lever action rifle standing in for the historically plausible Marlin Model 1894. He uses it even when a pistol would make more sense. He also spin-cocks it several times during the chase in the end.
Zastava M48 Mauser
One of Park Chang-Yi's henchman uses a M48 Yugoslavian Mauser to clear the train.
Arisaka Rifle
Japanese troops are armed with Arisaka rifles. There's no way to tell which type.
Machine Guns
Type 11 Light Machine Gun
During the long chase in the end, the Imperial Japanese Army opens fire with a Type 11 light machine gun.
Type 92 Heavy Machine Gun
During the long chase in the end, the Imperial Japanese Army opens fire with a Type 92 heavy machine gun.
Miscellaneous
Japanese 75mm Type 94 Mountain Gun
Japanese troops use 75mm Type 94 Mountain Guns for fire support.
