(at around 27 mins) Four live octopodes were eaten for the scene with Dae-su in the sushi bar, a scene which provoked some controversy abroad. Eating live octopus in Korea is commonplace although it is usually sliced first. When the film won the Grand Prix at Cannes, the director thanked the octopodes along with the cast and crew.
(at around 8 mins) When talking about sleeping gas used by Russian special forces, Oh Dae-su refers to 2002 Moscow 'Nord-ost' theater hostage crisis.
Choi Min-sik trained for six weeks and lost twenty pounds to get in shape for the role of Dae-su, and did most of his own stunt work.
(at around 29 mins) Dae-su Oh bangs his head right after stopping Mi-do from reading his diary. This "head banging" was not a scripted action. However Kang Hye-jeong (Mi-do) kept her cool and continued on with her lines. The director, in an interview, said that he kept and used this supposedly NG scene for its comical and emotional value.
(at around 1 min) Scenes at the police station with drunken and disorderly Dae-su Oh were the very last scenes the director scheduled to film. Choi Min-sik (Dae-su Oh) ad-libbed most of these "drunken" scenes, including the scene of him playing with toy wings that he bought for his daughter. He also ad-libbed many of his lines during the penthouse scene, including the anthem of his school.
"Dae-su Oh: Laugh and the world laughs with you. Weep and you weep alone."
"Woo-jin Lee: Remember this: "Be it a rock or a grain of sand, in water they sink as the same.""
