[user30a]

[Pengwynd]

He kinda looks like an Asian Robert Downy Jr.

[King42089]

wtf the guy who took a hammer to the kneecap bounces back up like he is fine

[slapzilla916]

rofl @ 2:13 the dude trying to punch oldboy punches himself in the face, falls and twists his ankle

[fionajustinkristy]

Badassery levels are over 9000!

[LazyMan9000]

Translation for the first bit:

ODS: "All those with blood type A, raise your hand."

*Various goons raise hand*

ODS: "Go on, off you go... this one's gonna need lot of blood."

LMFAO, BADASS

POSSIBLE SPOILERS IN THIS COMMENT

you know, this is one of those movies that doesn't just throw a twist that makes no sense...or gets lazy. One of the things i feared while i watched this was that it was going to be some bullshit government conspiracy thing at the end...but no, it did something that was organic to everything that preceded it. I love this...and you know, the dub isn't that bad...that's how i watched it, but i wish i had this version...the original language is better.

[SamuraiAC]

I love how he smiles when the elevator opens up

[Lirrink1776]

The guy that disliked this got his teeth pulled out

[Lakeyjakey]

ONE MAN DUN DUN ONE HAMMER DUN DUN A HALLWAY OF PEOPLE DUN

NO SURVIVORS

[Advent3546]

ONE MAN. ONE HAMMER. ONE FUCK-IT ATTITUDE. Oldboy

[davidkyo1985]

It is astounding in how many ways the main character of this movie just doesn't give a shit.

[jericol2]

Such an astounding picture if you ask me.

[Kavalistik]

You do not fuck with Oh-Daesu

[CrimsonRedHorizon]

amazing movie. amazing scene. just amazing.

[TitaniumProAce]

Realistic moves, realistic fatigue, realistic pain= greatest fight scene in history

[CactusCartwright]

the movie was pretty awful but this is one of the best scenes in the history of cinema

[vadergirl40]

Thumbs up if you found this via Tv Tropes

[DraiKofi]

17 Takes in three days!!!

[l2lJORDANl3l]

AWESOME

[NerdVictoryFilms]

This is actually one of the more realistic movie fight scenes, because in this one it doesn't have ridiculous Kung-Fu moves that are never used in real fights.

[debonier07]

Somewhat of this happened in real,google the guy "Bishnu Shrestha"..real life badass..!! This one is awesome too.

[tehoken]

BEST FIGHT EVER

[SkyX19]

One of the best and more realistic fights than some movies. If it's one against many, you won't walk away unharmed. Awesome movie, also.

[lordpatrice]

@SkyX19 realistic my ass, but they did it in one take, thats really amazing.

[MrMagician1]

one of the best fight scenes ever

[LamentOfInnocence1]

I remember the first time I saw it.

Glorious.

[xmnvbvgzfgvbmghxvbds]

what's the word i'm looking for..... insta-classic

[barrab]

@topwomble Basically:

Dae-Su: Anyone here AB blood type?

Dae-Su: Go quickly, he's lost a lot of blood.

[DKDarrenKelly]

Love this fight scene, it reminds me of a old-school side scroller game. It's also very real.

[thatdamnablebell]

Technically, if the guy's type AB, then his body will accept any blood type. But I'm just nitpicking, this is a masterful scene from an amazing movie.

[luiscarre]

yehhh :p

[b1tbomb]

The most amazing fight scene I've ever seen. I was absolutely blown away the first time I saw it. "Holy shit.... When are they going to cut??" Unbelievable.

[ShadowSoldior]

Damn, even with a knife in his back he's still kicking their asses!

[pieerrrree]

If this is based on the graphic novel, I can't wait to see it :D

[ThePopeAndy]

Hammer time!

[Rajalord27]

When i first saw this film i loved it then i saw the last 20 mins that was fucked up!!

[theplaidmonkey]

the most realistic fight scene EVER filmed.

[XtcInd]

One thing I liked about this scene is it showed fear and fatigue. Although probably not the most realistic depiction of the situation, I like that it showed that people do get tired fighting for their lives and that if one guy puts a bunch of your buddies on the ground, you'd hesitate a little bit.

[MrAbrahamleon]

Wow, finally a group fight I can actually believe.

[HumorToilet]

The music is amazing in this scene!

[onfzd]

2:15 - lol that guy just twists his ankle

[joeyecw]

Such a great, great fight scene. Holy hell what a fight scene. And what a movie! I saw this a few years ago when I was clerking at a video store, and it just blew me away. I preferred the subtitled version to the dubbed version, but the dubbing for this movie is the best I've ever heard.

[berke123mdave]

LOLOLOLOOL

[CJ800]

Looks like a side scroll beat'em up game. lol

[nickdastardly]

aw man, best fight scene ever.

[TweekleDee]

One take. One fucking take. I wonder how long they rehearsed it?

[benjibumm]

Seventeen days.

[Imran500]

I think it took 5 takes to get it right.

[dillagenceable]

He means it's all one shot.

[barrab]

@TweekleDee I know I'm a year late, but apparently it took 17 tries to perfect it over three days.

[DarkGexx]

@TweekleDee I'm not sure about how much they rehearsed, but i know that they actually film this again, and again, and again for 3 days to get this dreamed take...

[Raidenx3499]

Finally, someone uploads this in good quality, the proper aspect ratio of 2.35:1 and even 16x9 enhanced for the new Youtube window. You have my thanks, sir.

[tvman099099]

Yeah, the reason I uploaded it in the first place was because everyone else on youtube kept screwing up the aspect ratio. Now that youtube has finally gotten rid of the stupid 100mb limit, I might upload it again in HD.

[Raidenx3499]

That would be great. The only HD upload is 720p and it's been reformatted into 1.78:1.

This scene should be used as an example for why films need to be shown in their original aspect ratios. The sad fact is that as long as people have SD tvs and they are convinced that fullscreen lets them 'see more', they will buy fullscreen. I don't like fullscreen, especially on my LCD, when it's 'pillarboxed', which is why I am glad that a lot of modern television is shot in 16x9 so it doesn't get matted.

[Bielocke]

@tvman099099 Please do.

[fbfiveohv3]

Favorite fight scene ever.

[bb6640]

Incredible. Just incredible. Easily on of the best fight scenes ever from one of the best films of the past 10 years.

[Tetragrammaton8]

[Triathe]
