Freeman8201 - no disrespect, but you clearly missed the point of the film and DIDN'T understand the ending.. The whole point of the film is that REVENGE DOESN'T WORK... It's why the guy tops himself in the lift, it's beautiful romantic and brilliant.. The hypnotist in the end was not "in on it" as you say, he voluntarily goes to her to see if he can eradicate the memory of fucking his own daughter...! The beauty of the end of the film is that when he smiles, you don't (and never will) know, if
Min-sik Choi is ex-special forces. Back in the day when he was in the military, you can bet he got the shit kicked out of him for real. A real life badass.
I never did undstand the ending. Ok so that hypnotist was in on it too? As they, the father and daughter, meet up again and apparently are unaware of each other.
I love it when Asian movies like this have magnificent fight scenes! I just saw a great Kung Fu film that came out on demand called “Films of Fury” and it really blew me away with its great action sequences and movie clips! bitly .com/uBGPir
To all the people bitching about the intro before the scene begins: fuck off, and grow an attention span. I'm giving credit where the credit is deserved. You want a big payoff right away, go watch internet porn... or a Michael Bay movie. I'm just grateful "whomever" let me keep this clip up, let me keep it up and share it with you!
Was the western release of this film heavily cut? I mean SO cut, that there is hardly any violence whatsoever? I mean, all I could remember being SLIGHTLY violent was near the end, when Oldboy stabs that big bodyguard type bloke with a pen or whatever it is, and even then, there wasn't really any blood. It was the same with Lady Vengeance. People said it was one of the most violent films ever made, when in fact there was practically NO violence in the WHOLE FILM!
Now, a film that I remember which WAS as violent as people made it out to be, was Battle Royale, one of the greatest movies ever to come out of Japan, China OR Korea. Not because of the violence (Im not a sicko), but because of the idea itself, the scenario was brilliant. If anybody in the west tried to make a film like BR in those days, it would've been absolutely rubbish. The Japanese/Chinese and probably the Koreans were FAR braver with their movies than the west in those days
Oh yea, and Ichi the Killer (live action version) was JUST as violent as they said it was. Stylish violence is great, however, sadistic Saw/Hostel style "Snuff Film" torture fetish violence is something I just cant deal with. Theres no style to it, no flow or art, just pure sadistic pain which some people derive their "jollies" from LOL. I think I'm gonna watch Oldboy again, and maybe ladie vengeance, maybe I was too stoned to notice any ultra-violence, a'la Shogun Assassins.
2:17 that was a good touch, tripping on the stick, and so is the knife in his back. I like little nuances like that. Things you wouldn't normally pick up on. Theres other films with touches that really work well. I cant remember the film, but a scene where a guy was talking, and he tripped on his tongue while trying to say something, like a REAL mistake. Why has nobody else ever done this in films? Its like writers just asume people always talk flawlessly as if reading a well rehearsed script
Shit man this scene is pretty fucking good. Almost makes me wanna go outside and get revenge on a shitload of people in a corridor with dirty walls. Especially the part where he starts jabbing people in the face, then that fat cunt takes his shirt off then gets knocked the fuck out. Its visceral man, this kind of fight scene doesn't need blood. Oriental cinema (particularly Japanese), FUCKED up and WRONG, but in ALL the right ways HAHAHA,
The first time i saw this movie it was awesome then when i found out that the girl was his daughter that was gross disgusting i mean really his daughter nasty.
Yeah I just heard from (IGN-Keepin it Reel podcast) that Steven Spillburg & Will Smith are out and Spike Lee & Clive Owens are in to make the American version of OldBoy.
@tonkaaaaa, i don't buy that, because spike lee is not able to write and or direct movement-pieces like this. the idea is just too silly and not very lee at all.
@MultiMuchacho are you serious? that fight was FAKE. in ALL of Jaa's movies, its always the same the bad guys attack one at a time and they punch HELLA slow. you can see that Jaa moves into a counter move before the punch is even fully struck. He tries to hard to copy other martial artist AND then tries to one up them. this fight is about as real as a lot get
Watched this last night and holy crap it's incredible! This scene is intense, but the true winning point was the explanation for what was going on. Several times I thought there would be no payoff, but I was wrong. The climax in this is as (if not more) shocking than the ending of The Mist, except this is actually an amazing movie the whole way through!
Yeah,the acting is pretty bad,most of thoses guy don't know what to do,some don't even come back after being pushed back,but hey,it's still pretty awesome.
I love this scene because unlike all those over the top fight scenes where everyones a ninja this is just brute force and secondly because the whole movie you see oh du sae getting beaten bullied and abused and you watch him go from a flabby everymans victim to being this vengefull warrior and this scene is just the cullmination of all of that anger he's festered
What the fuck is that shit suppose to be? Another genius beating 30 guys alone... I feel sick watching this bullshit. And, after all, why there's so many logos first? This video is totally fucked up.
I watched this so many times and the small mistakes they made in this is pretty funny. Sometimes Dae Su gets hit and reacts a tad too slowly.. When Dae Su charges forward with the body of one guy, its funny how the whole stack of people get pushed back, not to mention nobody attacks Dae Su from behind during this. And the acting of the extras.. So terrible! One guy charges forward to punch Dae Su but slips on the ground.. And the fat guy at the end clearly didn't know what he was doing.. lol
@futsalfred2 wtf move where you watching? they attack him from behind you dumbass. also people slip in fights and the fat guy didnt know what he was doing because he was scared shitless and the adrenaline rush was probably getting to him. you would probably know that if youve ever been in a fight rather then sit on youtube makeing fun of fight scenes in movies because your "such an expert on it".
@fox21231 Ive been in at least seven 'real fights' outside of a martial arts training house. People don't recoil in pain one second after they've been hit. People don't throw an uppercut three metres away from the guy they're trying to hit and slip on their ass. Even if i'm not an expert any normal person who scrutinised this fight scene several times can see a lot of BAD ACTING.
Definitely one of the best fight scenes ever put on film. And what I love about it is, it's not flashy with a bunch of cool camera angles, there are no fast stunts, like flipping and spinning kicks. It's just raw force. Goes to show that you don't need to make a fight scene flashy for it to be epic. When I first saw this scene the only thought that went through my mind is "my God, Dae-su's a f**king animal!"
Jo Yeong-wook did the whole soundtrack for the movie. The name of that particular track is 'The Old Boy'. My favorite tracks are still 'Out of the Past' and 'Look Who's Talking'.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Pretty good scene in an OK moive. But, not realistic. At all. And, most of these guys fight like they have never been in one before...
02:53 The guy who trys to land an upercut but hits the ground for no real reason and continues to lay down 4 even bigger "no" real reason kinda brings down the hole fight a bit. Cool scene but pretty but almost Dynasty Warriors typ wich I don't like 2 much.
@diegolmedo No he falls down for no reson... again, and he didn't even look like he was trying to hit him but rather did some bad "shadow boxing" in witch he fell. I mean it looks stupid if you watch it close enough... cunt.
that was just pure genius. definitely deserves to be in top 2 best fight scenes of all time. The best has to be when he just blows up that train station like literally out of nowhere
This is an incredible fight sequence. It's rare when a movie makes one man beating 30 look realistic. I was blown away when I first saw this scene. Absolutely incredible one-take fight coreography.
I have to agree with this one hundred muthafuckin percent. It's simply amazing the way Park Chan-wook can film one man taking on a small army and actually make it look realistic, without coming across as over the top or silly.
@booty1983 very true! the part where they all just fall out of the elevator is almost comical. i love this film, its very well thought out and extremely clever, the plot. im gonna go look up 'a bittersweet life' now :D
This is a man who has no other goal in life than revenge, because that was all he had left. The scene in the hallway is raw, disturbing and full of soul because of it. The little stream of blood down his neck after he is through and the look in his eyes as the elevator opens. No one can stop him.
Then a calming PING sound as the doors open in the next scene. This breaks the tention a little bit. This is perfect as said before, adding that fight would've served no purpose. Epic.
lol! It's "Ichi The Killer". Lol! I have that movie too. "Oldboy" was better, more story driven, and coherent.. More or less. Let's just say Takashi Miike (Director of "Ichi") doesn't form ideas well, and always rushes to the more violent, shock factor of the films he makes. To me, "Oldboy" was a masterpiece. As in: every frame, every action, had meaning, and the big parts -- well, they made me fucking cry sometimes. Not really, but I did get choked up a a lot. "Ichi" is no contest to this.
@booty1983 Yeah, Ichi was cool, but violent just to be violent. Oldboy had the violence that mixed into the story. You WANTED to see Oh Dae Su get his revenge and fuck everyone up in his way. It was beyond perfect.
laugh and the world laughs with you weep and you'l weep alone- old boy

It's works because he's not fighting flashy, but he is efficient, and just so beastally brutal you think it could work.
And because everything you've seen of him so far makes you believe he really could summon the strength and rage to do this.

This is an incredible fight sequence. It's rare when a movie makes one man beating 30 look realistic. I was blown away when I first saw this scene. Absolutely incredible one-take fight coreography.

I have to agree with this one hundred muthafuckin percent. It's simply amazing the way Park Chan-wook can film one man taking on a small army and actually make it look realistic, without coming across as over the top or silly.
God I love this movie.

as epic as that fight is, i would have love to have seen him fight in the elevator.

Hammer smashing, screams...
Meh, it wouldn't have worked.
It was already dramatic enough, and made it's point: this is a driven man.
And elevator scene would have just plunged the movie into the "gratuitous violence" section.

@booty1983 i agree i think how they did the elevator scene was awesome enough without any fighting at all
doinschtuff 1 year ago
@booty1983 very true! the part where they all just fall out of the elevator is almost comical. i love this film, its very well thought out and extremely clever, the plot. im gonna go look up 'a bittersweet life' now :D

Sometimes it's what you don't see that's most effective

This is a man who has no other goal in life than revenge, because that was all he had left. The scene in the hallway is raw, disturbing and full of soul because of it. The little stream of blood down his neck after he is through and the look in his eyes as the elevator opens. No one can stop him.
Then a calming PING sound as the doors open in the next scene. This breaks the tention a little bit. This is perfect as said before, adding that fight would've served no purpose. Epic.

lol! It's "Ichi The Killer". Lol! I have that movie too. "Oldboy" was better, more story driven, and coherent.. More or less. Let's just say Takashi Miike (Director of "Ichi") doesn't form ideas well, and always rushes to the more violent, shock factor of the films he makes. To me, "Oldboy" was a masterpiece. As in: every frame, every action, had meaning, and the big parts -- well, they made me fucking cry sometimes. Not really, but I did get choked up a a lot. "Ichi" is no contest to this.
booty1983 2 years ago
i agree with you totally. the vengeance trilogy is better than anything Takashi Miike has ever made. but thats just my opinion.
fralix 2 years ago
@booty1983 Yeah, Ichi was cool, but violent just to be violent. Oldboy had the violence that mixed into the story. You WANTED to see Oh Dae Su get his revenge and fuck everyone up in his way. It was beyond perfect.

I know, I know. Smith commented them on making it as an adaption of the comic book; not the film.
But then again, he is the one whose re-making "The Karate Kid" as a vehicle for his son, Jaden, to become a major Hollywood star.
Anyways -- that's how the Hollywood mentality works: if there's a fan base, mak
