    Storyline

    • Trivia
      Exterior shots of the train were filmed on location on Japan, however, the interior shots were filmed on a set at Bridge Studios in Vancouver, B.C. The scenery rushing by outside the windows was simulated using large rotating drums with "blurred" scenery painted on it.
    • Goofs
      In the Opening scene where Racine is walking with his business partners talking about "selling ice to Eskimos", Racine enters the taxi-cab with his trench coat on. When he arrives at the hotel, he gets out of the cab without the trench coat. He leaves the hotel on a stretcher, still without the coat, but it appears again when he puts it on as he tries to leave the hospital.
    • Quotes

      Mieko Takeda: Nothing can stop them from finding and killing you.

      Racine: So how did they screw up and leave me alive?

      Mieko Takeda: Even monkeys fall out of trees.

    • Crazy credits
      Pre-credits title: "One who is a samurai must before all things keep constantly in mind, by day & by night ... the fact that he has to die."

      16th century
    • Alternate versions
      The 1996 UK video version was cut by 12 secs to remove all footage of Japanese throwing stars. The cuts were waived in 2001.

    NEARLY A MASTERPIECE
    Wow! What a great film. It's beautiful and interesting and action packed and very entertaining. It is wonderful. A well thought out film. Loved it! Maybe a different actor instead of CL might have lifted it to a higher place? But it's still great!
