One thing I didn't follow

I hate to be that guy, but there's one thing I didn't follow.

THIS ENTIRE POST IS FULL OF SPOILERS. STOP NOW IF THIS WORRIES YOU.

Just after the cops raid the old woman's place, as describing 500, it's intercut with the girl being prepped for getting her eyes cut out.

Then we see the eyes in the bottle, and the big bad discusses that she's dead. Could be exaggeration, but it seemed unlikely that she still had her eyes at least.

Fight for 10 minutes, our hero is about to shoot himself and... she's just there. Um... how? Just watched those critical scenes again and that's all I see.

- Did I miss something? Was there a scene during the gunfight I blinked and missed where this is explained?
- Was it supposed to be a "dream sequence" or otherwise the proper term for an example of what could be happening? If so, why?
- Another girl? Why would anyone give the big bad some eyes, that aren't the right ones. They all seem ruthless enough I don't get why that would happen.
- Something else?

the american english speaking bad guy wasn't really a 'bad guy'.
he killed the organ harvester instead and used his eyes.
he wanted to fight ajashi full on w/ all of his anger ( i guess) so he let him think the girl was murdered.

Adding onto the other reply, there's a scene after everything is over in which 500 is shown with his eyes cut out.

The guy was Vietnamese and some great Villain. A Stone Cold Killer with the right dose of humanity at the right time. I loved that!

not vietnamese, thai.

Yes, he and the hero are yin-yang (if I used that coorectly). The same but one good, one evil.

QUESTION: In the bathroom scene where the hero faces his counterpart, who killed the woman that was lying squeezed against the toilet inside a stall?

[–] mrcheminee 9 years ago

She was in the toilet when the dude with the gun started shooting every bathroom door.

[–] Neel167 9 years ago

Ofcourse he didnt know whos in the toilet until he opened the door. He looked Indian though.
Great *beep* movie! I am drunk and crying!

There is no clear-cut distinction between good and evil guys in this film, which is one of its merits.

Fanboy : a person who does not think while watching.

is been a bit since I've seen this. Refresh my memory as to what "The Man/Adjeossi" did or qualities that were evil?

[–] jai1 10 years ago

is this in the normal cut?
post credits scene or something?

When the cops come to the scene of the climactic fight, you see the surgeon (minus his eyes) being zipped into a body bag.

It was quite neat a twist because you see the villain having a moment of conscience when the girl puts a plaster on his cut, and later he's staring at the surgeon in the ambulance, so it's clearly implied he just snapped and killed him to save the girl.

"Man's mind is so formed that it is far more susceptible to falsehood than to truth"

[–] jai1 10 years ago

i did not see the surgeon being zipped out.
I'll take another look.

Yeah it took me about 5 minutes to follow that too. I liked the villain actor he did a good job. Most of the other acting was crap, the lead and the villain assassin were great.

He was most certainly a "bad guy" though, as the poster above suggests he is not, he is a terrible person, but not a sociopath like the others, he at least has emotion when the girl bandaids his head and a strange code of conduct he keeps.

A sociopath would have shot the pawnshop guy at the end too, he has his strange code of conduct or principles he follows so he fights hand to hand because he wants to know that he is better than this guy, he follows with a sort of awe and amazement and respect as he watches pawhshop rip apart everyone else when he could have shot him at anytime after he reloaded. It was only until he saw how incredible his fighting was or maybe just the great violence he did not want to stop because he loved it he saw something incredible and had to be better so he tossed the gun at the end, possibly even knowing this guy was better than him. So he was a bad guy but not a complete sociopath, He had a strange ping of conscience at the end, thats all.

Thats my take on the villain assassin character.

[–] Mellow-Fellow 9 years ago

Dude yeah you missed something big.

The homicidal maniac, assassin bad guy, their main hitman, was just doing a "job" IMO. He didn't shoot our hero in the end because he saw how "beautiful" his art was and how good he was, and he wanted to see if he could beat him. He cut out the harvesters eyes instead, and led the other guy on perhaps to antagonize him. He is psychotic after all.

Great action, revenge film. Not a fantastic story and all but the action is all done really well.

@Jai1 The main bad guy assasin was not Thai but Viet. The main mob boss at the golfing driving range even said it. He was part of the Chinese crew that was working with the bad Koreans crew.

[–] lil_viet_pete 8 years ago

In the movie they said he was Viet, but in real life he is Thai.

Ram rowan, the South-Eastern Asian killer had a heart for Somi.(She gave him that Disney bandaid.)
Before the Turkey-bath battle scene, Ram rowan, Somi and the 500 was in an ambulance trying to harvest Somi's eyes...but Ram rowan gave him this pissed look...it seems like he killed the 500 and harvested his eyes instead and gave it to Mansik.

After all the Maruta Sellers are killed, the ambulance near bounces...which Somi has been locked up all along.

The corpse of 500 is displayed after the Cops raid the place...eye balls missing.
