The following guns were used in the movie The Good, the Bad, the Weird
The Good, the Bad, the Weird is a Korean "western" inspired by Sergio Leone's The Good, the Bad and the Ugly. A "kimchi western" as director Kim Ji-woon described it, it was released in South Korea in 2008, and in limited release in the United States in 2010. It stars Jung Woo-sung as Park Do-won (The Good, a bounty hunter) Lee Byung-hun as Park Chang-yi (The Bad, a hitman) and Song Kang-ho as Yoon Tae-goo (The Weird, a thief) as they and other interested parties chase buried treasure (and each other) across Japanese-occupied Manchuria during the 1930's.
The Bad uses a Mauser Gewehr 1898 to try to snipe the Weird. The vast majority of the henchmen in the film are either armed with Mauser 98s, Mosin Nagant rifles, or Arisaka rifles. A Mauser 98 with a scope later shows up.

Marlin Model 1894
The Good's primary weapons is an anachronistic Marlin Model 1894C lever action rifle standing in for the historically plausible Marline Model 1894. He uses it even when a pistol would make more sense. He also spin-cocks it several times during the chase in the end.
Marlin Model 1894 - .44 Magnum. The version used in the film is the .357 magnum "C" version of this carbine. The .357 Magnum and .44 Magnum versions of this rifle had slight cosmetic differences from the original rifle and also were not introduced until the 1960s.Error creating thumbnail: File missingThe Good during the gunfight at the Ghost MarketError creating thumbnail: File missingThe Good waiting for the Weird
Lanchester Mk. I
One of the Bad's henchmen briefly fires a British Lanchester Mk. I submachine gun during the fight at the Ghost Market. The Bad later uses one as well.
Error creating thumbnail: File missingFor a brief moment, when the horses were spooked by the Japanese shelling, the rifles slung on the mounted bandits switched from Gewehr 1898's to rubber K98k's. The next shot, they were switched back.Error creating thumbnail: File missingAs the gunfight in the Ghost Market comes to a close, one of the Weird's P38's misfires, setting the top of the pistol ablaze. The Weird then frantically blows it out.
