Lee Je-hoon said, "It was all violent at first. The movie was edited so that the audience didn't feel uncomfortable watching it. There were many brutal scenes at first. Like the opening scene, three villains were lured into a trap and shot to death. There were other violent scenes but they have been taken off. Hong Gil-dong was at first very strong and psychotic and I was surprised but later it settled in me that this bad guy was going to catch other bad guys".
