Trivia

"City Hunter" creator Tsukasa Hôjô had been refusing several offers to adapt his work over the years, because most of the time these works were simple action stories. However, when he met Philippe Lacheau he was impressed with the prepared screenplay: "In Philippe's scenario, there was everything: drama, laughter, things a bit naughty. He had taken into account the totality of the work."
