Oldboy connection...


Anyone else think that toward the end, during the fight scene where the camera shows Zatoichi fighting down the hall, that it was very much like the hammer fight scene in Oldboy? Thought it was rather interesting in terms of choreography.

Really liked this Zatoichi film. Probably my favorite thus far.

Another scene similar to that takes place in 'Kung Fu Hustle'. Stephen Chow's character fights his way down a narrow second floor balcony, leaving messed up bad guys on the ground, and smashed through the walls and ceiling.

Could be onto something there. The water fight sequence reminded me of the climax to Sympathy For Mr Vengeance which, like Oldboy, was also directed by Park Chan Wook. Perhap's he's a fan.
