Anecdotes

Runaway is a 1984 North Korean melodrama film directed by Shin Sang-ok. It was the second film in North Korea by South Korea's Shin after he and his wife Choi Eun-hee had been abducted there. Runaway stars Choe Chang Su as the protagonist and Choi as his wife.

Production

The climax of the film features an exploding and derailing train. Shin was unable to figure out how to shoot the scene with either scale models or other special effects, so he jokingly asked if Kim Jong Il could supply him with a real train instead. To Shin's surprise, his request was met without delay. The scene was thus shot with a real train loaded with live explosives.

The film uses visual techniques such as slow-motion freeze frames. The scene in which Song Ryul smashes the local pharmacy is shot in slow motion and the movie ends with the shot of the exploding train being frozen as the credits start to roll. The final scene also contains a voice-over explaining Song's sudden conversion to communism.
