Anyone got any prop replicas from Park Chan-Wook films?

[CB2001]

Now, I know many people may not be familiar with the work of Park Chan-Wook, a Korean filmmaker who has presented some pretty awesome films. He is mostly known for his Vengeance Trilogy, three films (often involving the same actors in different roles) about ordinary people who have been drastically wronged in one way or another, and end up seeking vengeance against those who did the wrong doing. One that many people know the most about is the movie Oldboy, which is the second one out of the three. Of course, he's also done movies not related to the Vengeance Trilogy, such as Joint Security Area, I'm a Cyborg, But That's OK and Thirst (great vampire movie, BTW, definitely recommend it).

So, here's my question: Does anyone have any prop replicas of any items from any of Park Chan-Wook's films?

I bought the Lady Vengeance dvd and it was really cool. I did this thread http://www.therpf.com/f9/lady-vengeance-gun-89084/
But never got any answers

Do anyone has any more info about this gun?
Having the blueprint would be sweet aswell

Nice. I tell you, I'm surprised no one has done the gun from the film. It's just begging to be replicated.

if someone here could get the special dvd box version they get a big photograph of the blueprint in it.

I wish I could help, but I only have the regular Tartan release.

Yes! I really want to build a Lady Vengeance gun.

Well, when it comes to pictures of schematics and such for the gun, this is about the closest I could find in the film (before the lead actress' head begins blocking the schematic)

Here's the drawing of the silver decor for the handle. From what I can tell, the width is 35mm wide and the length is 55mm long.

The side view of the gun. By the way it looks, the guy who made it used flathead screws. Those springs, I think I've seen somewhere before, but I can't tell where. From what I think it may be some sort of industrial type of spring but I could be wrong.

Below is the only real good shot of the front of the gun, but due to the fact it takes place at night, it's hard to truly make out any kind of details.

I was trying for a better shot of the back side of it a bit. If there's one thing I am able to figure, the gun's handle is either made of wood or has some sort of finish to it that looks like its wood. And again, this shot makes me think that the springs for the hammers are some sort of industrial-type spring. And by the way it looks, the main body of the gun is made up of two sections, as you can see where the front portion and the back portion of the gun intersects.

Wow dont know how I missed this thread.Lot's of good close up pictures of the gun's schematics and the gun.Thought it would be cool to get a few prop's from the movie Oldboy.Thank's again for the picture's guys.

Go buy a hammer and mount it on a display - or the top of a purple cake box.

I love his movies, and I've actually attempted the Lady Vengeance pistol. I'm sure the atrocity I built has returned to the Earth by now, but it would be cool to see a really well done attempt.

I saved a link to a Japanese site that had images of a phenominal one-sixth scale doll of Oh-Daesoo from Oldboy...I'll try to find that beauty.

Master Boda - There's a lot that can be done. As Deathstalker II has pointed out, a yellow hammer is one. Maybe a replica of the tape that Oh Dea-su gets from the place he was held, or even a replica of the remote pacemaker shutdown control are just some on the list for "Oldboy." Or even a replica of the... well... The photo book.

As crazy as it sounds for "Thirst," there's a few I can think of, such as Tae-ju fabric snips that she uses to cut victims throats with. There's also the plastic bottles that Sang-hyeon uses to store blood in (also blood packs like the one used on Sang-hyeon that contained the vampiric blood).

Deathstalker II- Do you happen to have any pics of your attempt? I'd like to see what you did and how close you got. But I agree, a well done attempt would be awesome, for sure. Will be waiting for the link. Take your time.

Oh no - I don't photograph unless I'm proud of something, and this could have been my darkest hour. A friend of mine would talk all the time about how cool it would be to have a replica of that gun, and it got me thinking about doing one...and I never even let him know I worked on it.

Though, hanging out here and seeing HOW people work...seeing the way materials are supposed to be used - I have a sense of why things went wrong - and maybe it might be worth trying again in the near future.

By all means, dude... Go for it! You've already learned about what went wrong, so now you know what to expect if you encounter the same kind of problems. Plus, you also have the RPF, which is a resource. If you need an opinion or advice, you could always PM someone whose worked with the same kind of materials.
