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 Bad uses a Mauser Gewehr 1898 to try to snipe the Weird. The vast majority of the henchmen in the film are either armed with Mauser 98s, Mosin Nagant rifles, or Arisaka rifles. A Mauser 98 with a scope later shows up.

Marlin Model 1894
The Good's primary weapons is an anachronistic Marlin Model 1894C lever action rifle standing in for the historically plausible Marline 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.
