Revision as of 02:23, 15 July 2011
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 guns were used in the movie The Good, the Bad, the Weird
Handguns
Webley Mk IV
The Bad is seen most with a Webley Mk IV revolver. It appears that he also carries one as a backup. (The movie poster above shows The Bad holding the Webley in his bare left hand. Anyone who has seen the movie knows this is a goof.)
Walther P38
The Weird uses a pair of Walther P38's throughout the film.
Colt Official Police
Many of the henchmen in the film are armed with Colt Official Police revolvers.
Colt M1917 Revolver
The Good appears to carry an M1917 Revolver as his sidearm. He clearly favors his rifle and his shotgun, however, only using his sidearm twice.
Nambu Type 14
One of The Bad'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
Kim Pan-joo pulls out what appears to be a Colt Detective Special before confronting an intruder.
Submachine Guns
Lanchester Mk. I
One of the Bad's henchmen briefly fires a British Lanchester Mk. I submachine gun during the fight at the Ghost Market. The Bad later uses one as well.
Shotguns
Double Barreled Shotgun
A Double barreled shotgun is used by The Good for the first half of the film. He seems to prefer long guns to pistols.
Rifles/Carbines
Mauser M1908
The Bad uses a Model 1908 Mauser 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 rifle
Many of the henchmen in the film are armed with Mosin Nagant rifles
Enfield No. 1 Mk. III
Byeong-choon, one of the Manchurian bandits, carries an Enfield SMLE No.1 Mk III.
Marlin Model 1894
The Good's primary weapons 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.
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.
