Did You Know?
Trivia | (at around 32 mins) The part where Young-min (Ha Jung-woo) slips as Joong-ho (Kim Yoon-seok) chases him in the alley was not scripted. Actor Jung-woo Ha actually did slip on the slippery pavement while shooting, but kept running anyway. Director Na Hong-jin liked that cut so much that he kept it in the final edit. See more » |
