Talk:The Good, the Bad, the Weird

Release date

A Person: Who keeps editing the release date I have put, I have been and seen this movie a mere two days ago and I keep finding that my addition to the release date keeps being removed, if you want proof go to the official site http://www.koreanfilm.co.uk/index.php?id=73 This states that Liverpool had a Korean Film Festival were The Good, The Bad, The Wierd(Actual title in movie) was shown, in which I attended. So stop changing it because it is information from someone who knows

That would be me. I don't doubt that the information is true, nor do I require proof. Per the guidelines at MOS:FILM, film festival release dates should not be added to the infobox (with the sole exception of the films initial premiere). If you feel that the Liverpool festival screening is something worth mentioning, please do so in the main body of the article instead. Regards. PC78 (talk) 15:26, 15 November 2008 (UTC)

No worries; your other additions to the article are good and most welcome. A pity I didn't know about the Liverpool screening in advance, or I might have gone. Regards. PC78 (talk) 17:00, 15 November 2008 (UTC)

The Same Person: I was actually lucky that I found out, there really hasn't been enough advertisement for the festival I just hope they bring it to Liverpool next year. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.77.170.56 (talk) 20:04, 15 November 2008 (UTC)

Not only inspired by...

I saw this film last night and particularly noticed it borrowed heavily from classic spagetti westerns. The music and photography during the climatic mexican standoff, was almost identical to that used in The Good, the Bad and the Ugly. Slightly earlier, the photography during the scene where Chang-yi repeatedly shot Tae-goo's hat each time he bent over to pick it up, is copied straight out of another western. Music sounding very similar to Ennio Morricone's music was used several times. And I'm sure there's more.

Is it worth mentioning these kinds of things in the article (the similarities in the mexican standoff, are mentioned in the The Good, the Bad and the Ugly article)? 87.112.144.106 (talk) 13:42, 23 July 2010 (UTC)

That's kind of the point. It's a comedy homage to Fist Full Of Dollars trilogy. NeF (talk) 21:25, 15 October 2011 (UTC)

'The Final Scene'

"The final scene is of the three lying in the sand, dying and alone, as the "useless hole" they had fought and died for suddenly and belatedly erupts with a geyser of crude oil."

This is wrong. Quite a lot happens after this scene. The Good and Weird characters live, Weird finds diamonds in Bad's pocket, gets surrounded by the Army, sets of dynamite to scare them, is unable to stop the spark spreading and igniting other sticks, so he runs implying he's detonated and ignited the oil.

Then the wanted posters are altered, the Good continue to track Weird and the final shot is Weird driving off into the distance on his bike.

If the submitter wants to leave the wiki as it is, it should be changed to 'the penultimate scene' or something less 'final'. -NeF (talk) 21:31, 15 October 2011 (UTC)
