改編自八十年代中南韓首宗有紀錄的連環兇殺案，Memories of Murder 是Bong Joon-Ho在國際間打出名堂之作。那是偵查技術未有DNA輔助的年代，警員的主觀性、錯誤判斷，可以是案件make or break的關鍵。兩名論論盡盡的鄉鎮警察有心無力，還是要求助於首都的手足。影片既有正統的懸疑，亦有叫人捧腹的嘻哈。
Based on the real-life story of Korea's first recorded serial killer, Memories of Murder raises some troublesome questions about the nature of justice and the fallibility of investigative police methods before DNA testing. Told almost entirely from the point of view of the police, it is unusually candid about the false starts and utter chaos of this particular case. The film is a tense, old-school crime film with a dark edge that also works as a hilariously funny comedy in which a police officer and his bumbling colleagues arrest and abuse various suspects.

裝在罐頭裡的絕望Canned Despair
( 導演Dir：洪智穎HUNG Chi-wing / 2004 / 3’ )
Twins兩位主角想逃離災難而尋找他們的天空，但天堂根本不存在，最後，Twins也不應該離災難而死去。
“We can’t escape the disaster” is the mail concept of my animation. Twins (two characters) want to escape from disaster and find their fantasy world. Unfortunately, the fantasy world doesn’t exist. Finally, they still can’t escape the disaster and die from it.
Chemicals dumped into the Han River from a U.S. military base create a mutant creature. One day, the thing emerges from the water and starts eating passers-by. The pre-teen daughter of dimwit Seoul snack vendor Gang-du is abducted by the monster. Gang-du mounts a rescue operation with the help of his family, but the government is concerned about a SARS-like epidemic! Bong Joon-ho’s action-packed creature flick is comic and extreme. It is about fighting a monster and also a tribute to the family bond. The journey is daunting, exhausting and ultimately uplifting.

This short was made for the school’s Creative Week. It reflects my deep understanding of gay men, and expresses their innermost struggles and conflicts.
Mother poses a sinister corollary in its tale of a parent's unwavering devotion to her child. After a night of drinking, Do Joon, an intellectually-challenged young man, attempts to pick up a young high school girl walking home alone. Shockingly, the next day Do Joon is arrested for the girl’s murder. His overbearing but deeply loving mother will go to pursue justice for her son whom, she believes, has been wrongly convicted of murder. Reminiscent of Alfred Hitchcock's quirkier and more offbeat films, Mother is an intense, witty, and engaging psychological thriller with enigmatic characters.
