Line 18:
* [[The Alcoholic]]: Nam-il, and to an even greater extent, the hobo whom he befriends.
* [[Animal Nemesis]]: Averted, due to Korean [[Values Dissonance]]. "If a beast kills a man, then that beast should be torn limb from limb."
* [[Attack of the 50 -Foot Whatever]]: At least, we ''think'' it's a tadpole. It could be a lungfish or something.
* Anticlimax: {{spoiler|Nam-il slips and drops his last Molotov. Pleasantly averted a few seconds later when Nam-joo shows up, though.}}
* [[Badass Bystander]]: The American soldier who emerges from the crowd and tries to fight off the monster during its first rampage. A later news story reveals that he died of his wounds.
Line 36:
* [[Hey, It's That Guy!]]: Western viewers may recognize the anonymous American doctor with the cross-eye as Pilcher from ''[[The Silence of the Lambs]]''. The pathologist at the beginning is Scott Wilson.
* [[Hobos]], one of whom is a [[Deliberately Cute Child]]. Seriously, there's a montage of him discussing what kind of food he'd like to eat while generally being adorable.
* [[Homage]]: The idea of a [[Attack of the 50 -Foot Whatever|giant monster]] carrying an even-more-dangerous disease was originally used in ''[[The Beast from 20,000 Fathoms]]''.
** The movie generally plays on ALL the good and bad [[Kaiju]] movies [[Godzilla]] spawned.
* [[Idiot Hero]]
