According to co-writer John Sayles, director John Frankenheimer brought him to Japan to change all the Chinese characters of the script into Japanese characters in only five days. One day he went to Kyoto to see the locations for the big battle scene at the end of the movie; the other four days he was locked up re-working the script in the Imperial Hotel in Tokyo while Toshirô Mifune took everyone else out for dinner.
