Trivia
The Japanese resort hotel that appears in the film is modeled on the Fujiya Hotel, located in the village of Miyanoshita near Mount Fuji. This famous hotel was actually commissioned by the U.S. Army as a "rest and relaxation" hotel for American soldiers for several years after World War II, and possibly up to the Korean War. The exterior shots of the hotel are real, but the lobby scenes appear to be studio replicas of the original lobby. See more »Goofs
Continuity: When Brubaker is in his jet awaiting takeoff on the carrier, his cockpit is open and he is sitting so high that his head will hit the top of the cockpit when it is closed (noticeable in closeups). As his plane is maneuvered into position to takeoff, his cockpit is still open as his plane sits on the right of flight deck, both closeups and far shots show. However, another plane takes off and it is focused upon by the camera. See more »Quotes
