There was another which featured a dark Samurai clan hunting down an American fighter across hospitals & stations... Had a famous scene within a bullet train / 80's movie (can't remember the name).
Actually Black Rain was mostly filmed in Osaka. The final scene was filmed in LA.

It is extremely difficult for foreign countries to film movies in Japan, there are endless amount of red tape to get through. In the end, it takes less time and costs less money to build an imitation "Japan" in California or some other place.

More than 90% of Tokyo Drift was not filmed in Tokyo (or Japan, for that matter). The famous scene where the cars "drift" through Shibuya crossing was computer generated.

Mhmm, Japan would never close off the crossing for filming anyways.

Hey I was thinking about a movie that I saw, I don't remember what it was called but I believe it was filmed n Japan.

The scene that I remember was when the main character had to plant these plants on a crop with his hands and was getting very impatient. When there was a slight wind, all the others would stop for a moment and feel the cool air but he would carry on planting with a quicker pace just to finish faster. Later, he had to re-do it because he planted them to close to each other therefore they would not have been able to grow.

Can anyone help me figure out which movie this was from?

Thanks!

You must be talking about Jet Li's "Fearless". That was one of the scenes in the movie. He told the media that that was his last martial arts movie over here. The movie had a lot of action in it. But it was very sad almost through the whole thing.
