The Good, the Bad, the Weird

The Good, the Bad, the Weird is a South Korean "Western" inspired by Sergio Leone's The Good, the Bad and the Ugly. A "kimchi Western" as director Kim Jee-woon described it, it was released in South Korea in 2008, and in limited release in the United States in 2010. It stars Jung Woo-sung as Park Do-won (The Good, a bounty hunter), Lee Byung-hun as Park Chang-yi (The Bad, a hitman) and Song Kang-ho as Yoon Tae-goo (The Weird, a thief) as they and other interested parties chase buried treasure (and each other) across Japanese-occupied Manchuria during the 1930s.
__TOC__
=Handguns=
==Webley Mk. IV==
Park Chang-yi (Lee Byung-hun) is seen most with a Webley Mk IV revolver. His henchmen also carry them. (The movie poster above shows Chang-yi holding the Webley in his bare left hand. Anyone who has seen the movie knows this is a goof. His image appears to be reversed, as his boy-band hair is supposed to cover his RIGHT eye.)

==Walther P38==
Yoon Tae-goo (Song Kang-ho) uses a pair of Walther P38s throughout the film.
===Special===
A featurette shows how the first-person shot was achieved.
==Colt Official Police==
Many of Park Chang-yi's henchmen are armed with Colt Official Police revolvers.
==Smith & Wesson M1917==
Park Do-won (Jung Woo-sung) appears to carry a Smith & Wesson M1917 as his sidearm. He clearly favors his rifle and his shotgun, however, only using his sidearm twice.
==Nambu Type 14==
One of Park Chang-yi's henchmen and Imperial Japanese Army officers use Nambu Type 14 pistols.
==Luger P08==
One of The Bad's henchmen fires a Luger P08 at The Weird.
==Colt Detective Special 1st Gen==
First-generation Colt Detective Specials are seen throughout the film.
===Special===
Director Kim Jee-woon appears to be using a Colt Detective Special to signal action.
==Webley Mk. VI==
Byung-choon (Je-mun Yun) carries a Webley Mk VI for parts of the film.
==Mauser C96==
A member of the Ghost Market gang is armed with a Mauser C96.
=Submachine Guns= 
== Lanchester Mk. I* ==
One of Park Chang-yi's henchmen briefly fires a British Lanchester Mk. I* submachine gun during the fight at the Ghost Market. Chang-yi himself later uses one as well. It is anachronistic for the 1930s setting since it was introduced in 1941; it might be standing for the SIG Bergmann which was used by Chinese and Japanese troops at the time.

==Double Barreled Shotgun==
A hammerless Double Barreled Shotgun is used by Park Do-won (Jung Woo-sung) for the first half of the film. He seems to prefer long guns to handguns.

==Mauser Model 1908==
The Bad uses a 1908 Brazilian Mauser to try to snipe The Weird. The vast majority of his henchmen are either armed with Mausers, Mosin Nagants, or Arisaka rifles. A Mauser 1908 with a scope later shows up.

==Marlin Model 1894==
Park Do-won's primary weapon is an anachronistic Marlin Model 1894C lever-action rifle standing in for the historically plausible Marlin Model 1894. He uses it even when a pistol would make more sense. He also spin-cocks it several times during the long chase scene.
thumb|none|450px|Marlin Model 1894 - .44 Magnum. The version used in the film is the .357 Magnum "C" version of this carbine. The .357 Magnum and .44 Magnum versions of this rifle had slight cosmetic differences from the original rifle and also were not introduced until the 1960s.
