Added DiffLines:

* AlternateMonochromeVersion: A {{downplayed|Trope}} case of this with the alternate "Fade to Black and White" version. In this version, the film starts in full color and with vibrant primary colors just like the main version, but slowly as it goes on and its revenge fable gets darker and darker, colors begin to desaturate until things become mostly black and white, sans the violent SplashOfColor here and there.

* CoolGun: Geum-ja's handmade two-barrel pistol.



* CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass: The elderly North Korean spy has Alzheimer's and is clearly not there anymore...but is cogniscent just enough to help Geum-ja out of sheer gratitude for taking care of her, providing her with a diagram of the CoolGun. Notably, when Geum-ja was given the Buddhist treaty in which the blueprint is hidden, she thought it was just another random act of the demented old lady.

* BeautyEqualsGoodness: Geum-ja herself got this treatment when she was sentenced, as nobody believed someone so young and so beautiful could be a murderer -- which is also part of why nobody ever connected her with Witch's death while in prison.



* TheyLookJustLikeEveryoneElse: Invoked by one of the parents, since Mr. Baek is your average, middle-aged guy. Geum-ja herself got similar treatment when she was sentenced, as nobody believed someone so young and so beautiful could be a murderer -- which is also part of why nobody ever connected her with Witch's death while in prison.
