The Cable Guy (1996) shocked audiences expecting the same manic comedy Jim Carrey. Instead he played a deeply unsettling loner in a pitch black satire. Critics hated the tonal shift at the time, but that exact edge is why the film has aged so well.

Bong Joon-ho on the "American-bashing" in 'The Host' (2006) & why he was surprised by the film's success: "Cineaste: Why did you put so much political subtext into 'The Host' (2006)? Do Korean audiences like that? Bong Joon-ho: It’s fun for me to bury my political comments here and there in a film, but this is also part of the tradition of the monster or sci-fi genre. It was a double blessing for me to convey some political commentary in the film and have it work within a genre. For instance, the opening scene, when the two scientists are pouring chemicals into the Han River refers to an actual event that took place six years ago. But at the same time it’s a very typical monster movie opening. So for me it was great to hit both at the same time. It’s not like I’m putting raw social commentary in the film. It is integrated into the entertainment value of the film. Some Koreans believe that 'The Host' (2006) is a moving family story; others say, “Wow, we’re totally bashing America!” But there are more of the former. Cineaste: Is there a lot of “America bashing” in Korean films? Bong Joon-ho: Some films do to some extent, once in a while. But to quote a famous Korean critic: “This is Korea’s first legitimate anti-American film.” And she gave me four stars. Cineaste: Perhaps this may start a trend in Korean films. Bong Joon-ho: It would be hard for this to become a trend. When The Host first came out, some critics said that by drawing America in this satiric way, the film would limit its appeal to mass audiences, that the satire would make them uncomfortable. Of course, after it became such a big hit, critics reevaluated and said that the younger generation really likes those elements in the film. But overall, those elements weren’t the focus of the film. (....) Cineaste: So is the incredible response of the Korean audience what you expected? Bong Joon-ho: I was so preoccupied just trying to finish the film because there were many technical difficulties that I had no time to think about how audiences would react. When the box office was so big, I was puzzled. At this point I still can’t analyze why people love it." (Bong Joon-ho's interview with Kevin B. Lee, Cineaste, 2007)
