Hidden Details

When Oh Dae Su enters an internet caf?, you can just barely spot someone playing Starcraft: Brood War in the background.

Oh Dae-su, after questioning and torturing the foreman of the prison in which he spent 15 years, knows which cassette tape contains his enemy's conversation because it is the oldest in the tin.

Tally marks appear multiple times. One of the victims killed with a hammer falls on the table, and in a brief shot the blood in his head forms tally marks.

Oldboy Plot: After being kidnapped and imprisoned for fifteen years, Oh Dae-Su is released, only to find that he must find his captor in five days.
I am pretty sure that you've watched Oldboy, maybe in a theater near you or on the small screen, but probably not many of the small details have taken your attention. Most of the previous facts are hidden for some reason, but still, there is plenty of randomly forgetten stuff that makes the movie unique and interesting. The more you know, the more fascinated you'll be about Oldboy and will watch it online, download or stream it again and again.
