PRODUCTION NOTES:

Tougher than Ever! New Public Enemy...who laughs at Justice with his money and power

The new antagonist born out of "Another Public Enemy" is JUNG Joon-ho. Even the cinematographer was taken back by the actor’s naturalism at playing such an evil character.Although many other members of the production crew were worried how JUNG Joon-ho will be playing the role of such a cold hearted, manipulating villain so well, the character was perfect for him to play. During the final showdown between the public enemy and the prosecutor, the cinematographer recalls that his acting was so intense and powerful that it actually shook the camera. And in order to give the actor the appearance of that of being a member of the aristocratic, bourgeois society, more than 20 designer suits and a luxurious hotel suite, which cost USD 5,000 a day to rent were used.

Tunnel Total Shut down... 5 Simultaneous Camera ... The Most complex and dangerous High-speed pursuit scene ever !

One of the highlights of the movie is the scene where KANG Chul-joong, the Prosecutor is in high-speed pursuit of bikers. Because of the complexity and amount of danger the scene possessed, it was necessary to block off the tunnel that was used for the scene. The tunnel was shut down with barricades provided by numerous patrol cars and police officers. More than 5 cameras were used in the scene in order to captivate the best scenes, including an unmanned camera that was set up on the road.

Another scene was when the motorcyclists run KANG Chul-joong’s car off the road and onto the entrance of the tunnel, where a truck comes barreling out and crushes the car.The crew chose a suburban area near the InchonInternationalAirport. And since the scene was a very risky one, several ambulances and emergency personnel were on stand by.This scene also required the 5 camera set up.

Three Directors for One film... Each scene for the best directors...

In "Another Public Enemy", director KIM Sang-jin of "Jail Breaker", "Ghost House" and "Attack the Gas Station" was placed in charge of the flashback scenes of KANG Chul-joong’s youth, while CHANG Youn-hyun of "SOME", "Tell me Something" directed the chase scenes. Director KANG took charge of the films overall drama, and character development. Giving each director in charge of specific scenes was to make the best film with the best scenes which the two other directors are good at. Because the two directors already had experience working with director KANG in previous films, the outcome of the collaboration was perfect that created a synergy effect that added to the films overall success.
