FAQ

Oldboy

FAQ



    Three movies although part of a trilogy, are standalones. You can watch any movies without any particular order. All 3 are different but has a same genre - revenge thriller.



    Oldboy is based loosely on a Japanese manga "Old Boy", written by Nobuaki Minegishi and Garon Tsuchiya. Oldboy, the film, is the second installment of The Vengeance Trilogy, preceded by Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance (2002) and followed by Lady Vengeance (2005).



    No, the ending is totally different. There are new characters involved, and the ultimate cause for Wojin's revenge is not the same as in the movie.
