Production
Each train car is a completely different world—literal vertical class warfare.

Bong balances absurd humor with brutal violence without blinking.
Director
Bong Joon Ho
Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
The fish gutting scene before the axe fight was shot in one continuous take because Bong wanted the actors genuinely exhausted and covered in slime.
Harvey Weinstein demanded 20 minutes cut for US release; Bong Joon Ho refused, and the uncut version only played in limited theaters—this feud helped launch his 'f--- off Hollywood' era leading to Parasite.
