Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Tatsuya Fujiwara was still riding his Battle Royale fame, and this role let him pivot from teen killer to bumbling adult without losing his chaotic screen presence. He filmed most of his running scenes with an actual phone in his pocket.
The film captures a specific late-2000s Tokyo where disposable phones and street scams collided—digital evidence culture before smartphones dominated, when a grainy clip could still destroy you.
