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
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.)
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.
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.
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.
Park Do-won'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.
