Inverse of Ridley Scott’s Blade Runner and Black Rain using this hyper stereotypical image of Japan. Occasionally you get weird two for one instances like Jean Reno’s Wasabi. A French movie about Dirty Harry in Japan.
Military nerd stuff in Japan is fun. Random stores will have full replicas of Nazi uniforms, blood and soil knives, and Hitler speeches on dvd. Right next to Harry Potter costumes. Guilt by associating for the SS.
Wasabi was great. Kojima...not so great.
