Revision as of 00:22, 14 April 2012
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.)

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.
