Revision as of 13:33, 23 June 2012
Tae Guk Gi: The Brotherhood of War (2004) was an epic Korean War film, directed by South Korean Director, Je-gyu Kang. Also known under the British Title: Brotherhood and under the US DVD title: Tae Guk Gi: The Brotherhood of War But it gained fame under the original Korean Title all around the world prior to it's English language release. The story follows two brothers who survived World War 2, only to be plunged into the madness and chaos of the Korean War (1950-1953). Two brothers are tricked into 'enlisting' by boarding the wrong railroad car and are not allowed to return home to take care of their family. The older brother Jin-tae Lee (Dong-gun Jang) takes all of the dangerous missions he can get, committed to win the Korean equivalent of the Medal of Honor, due to a loophole in Korean Military rules, that a Medal winner can send his siblings home. However, upon winning the Medal, the younger brother Jin-seok Lee (Bin Won) refuses to go, seeing that Jin-tae has taken to liking combat a bit 'too much'. He resents the fact that his brother no longer fights to help their family, but fights because he enjoys killing. In Asian cinema, this was widely seen as South Korea's own Saving Private Ryan reflecting the pain and anguish of the Korean people, but also showcasing epic Korean War battle sequences.
The following guns were used in Tae Guk Gi: The Brotherhood of War:
Remington M1903A4 Sniper Rifle
A soldier riding on a tank has a Remington M1903A4 sniper rifle without a scope.
M1 Garand
M1 Garand Blank Adapters
M1 Carbine
M3A1 Grease Gun
Browning Automatic Rifle
Browning M1919A6
M1917 Watercooled Machine Gun
Browning M2HB .50 Cal Machine Gun
On the allied side, the Browning M2 Heavy Barrel machine guns are most commonly seen mounted to Sherman Tanks.
Browning AN-M2 Anti Aircraft Gun
The rusted decaying remnants of a Browning ANM2 heavy machine gun are excavated by archeologists and South Korean Soldiers in the present day battle site.
M20 Super Bazooka
M1911A1
MK II Hand Grenade
MK II Hand Grenade is seen using by Jin-Tae Lee and South Korian soldiers in the film
M2 Flamethrower
M20 Recoilless Rifle
M101 Howitzer - 105mm
Molotov Cocktail
Mosin Nagant M91/30
Mosin Nagant M38 Carbine
Mosin Nagant M44 Carbine
PPsH-41
Degtyaryov DP
- North Korean Soldiers use the Soviet DP Light Machine gun, also known as the DP-27. They differ from the more common DPM with the lack of a pistol grip, differently shaped stock and a bipod that mounts below, not above, the heat jacket of the barrel.
Maxim M1910-30 Machine Gun
Sokolov's update of the MG08 Maxim machine gun for the Russian 7.62x54R Cartridge. This machine gun was widely used by Russian/Soviet forces in World Wars One and Two and heavily used by their satellite client states.
Fake Soviet KPV Heavy Machine Gun
A Mockup of an Anti Aircraft gun, that resembles a cross between the 14.5mm KPV and the 12.7mm NVS Heavy Machine guns is made out of a Browning M2HB. M2 Machine guns are commonly use to mock up foreign heavy machine guns like in Rambo III and The Beast of War.
Nambu Type 14
Chinese Type II Stick Grenade
Gun Platforms
M4A3E2 Sherman Jumbo Tank
A post WW2 version of the M4 with a much more squared turret. The guns were elongated 76mm rather than the shorter 75mm guns of WW2.
M8 Greyhound Armored Car
Constantly seen backing up the Shermans during the Armored Attacks.
BA-64 Armored Car
A Soviet made Armored Car use during WW2.Post WW2 BA-64 service in North Korean Army
M38 Jeep
An American Jeep.First use in Korean war.(center of image)
GMC Truck
An American truck.(in left)
F4U Corsair
The close support aircraft in the film. We see dozens of F4Us in close ground support roles, using their 20mm cannons to strafe North Korean lines and entrenched soldiers. A mortally damaged F4U also makes it's own 'kamikaze' run at a North Korean gun emplacement.
Trivia Specials
Dummy stunt rifles
Since there is so much hand to hand combat in the film, the filmmakers made lightweight dummy Garands and Mosin Nagant Carbines out of wood and metal parts. In closeup they are obvious (also the fact that the actors swing them around like they weigh nothing is also a clue). The Russian carbines are odd looking and looks like a hybrid 91/30 and an M38/44 Carbine.
Continuity Error
When PFC Yong-Man attacks the North Korean troops, he has an M1 Garand, but when we see over his shoulder, the gun is an M1 Carbine.
Anachronisms
When Jin-tae Lee (Dong-gun Jang) gives his brother Jin-seok Lee (Bin Won) a Hershey's chocolate bar to cheer him up, the candy bar is the "King-sized version" that Hershey introduced in 1980. Also we see the 'nutritional content listings' that were required in the 1990s. Also I didn't know they had bar code readers in 1950.....
Work in progress.....
