Trivia

• Chinese actor Jackie Chan was first approached to play Sato but decided the role did not match his values / image.
• Japanese actor Yusaku Matsuda was suffering from cancer during filming and died shortly after the film's completion. The manic intensity he brings to the role is a characteristic present in all his films.
• The high cost and red tape involved in filming in Japan prompted director Scott to declare that he would never film in that country again. The fact that Tom Cruise epic The Last Samurai was filmed in New Zealand indicates that the situation has not changed.
