Oldboy The Corridor Fight Scene

The corridor fight scene took seventeen takes in three days to perfect, and was one continuous take -- there was no editing of any sort except for the knife that was stabbed in Oh Dae-su's back, which was computer-generated imagery. Though the scene has often been compared visually to side scrolling beat 'em up video games, director Park Chan-wook has stated that the similarity was unintentional.
