The same scene ranked in 39th place on the '50 Greatest Movie Fights of All Time' list and the scene, in which Oh eats a live octopus, came in 45th place on their '50 Most Disgusting Movie Moments.'
"Old Boy," also starring actress Kang Hye-jung, tells of a man named Oh Dae-su who is kidnapped without a reason and set free into society one day. He goes on a hunt to track down his captor where he later finds out he was the target of vengeance.
The film is currently being remade by famed director Spike Lee and the remade version will star actor Josh Brolin while the other cast members have yet to be announced.
