Black Rain is an absolutely gorgeous movie to look. And for the most part it's highly entertaining and well acted - the guy playing Sato is brilliantly menacing. But occasionally, very occasionally, it descends into either complete predictability or downright cheesiness. A motorbike chase, well, that's a surprise! And that award ceremony right near the end - why? It's totally irrelevant, feel good factor nonsense - the sort of stuff you get with bog standard action movies. And this is not bog standard, and not really an action movie. Certainly underrated and deserving of a better audience than it has received, but ultimately let down by a few lapses in quality. Black Rain (1989) Black Rain is a 1989 thriller directed by and starring and as NYPD detectives who find themselves working with the police in Osaka, Japan to recapture the Yakuza boss they were transporting back and mistakenly let go. Making the film was not only grueling, but difficult as there were many clashes in the methods of Western film productions and Japanese film productions operated. Apparently the 'rules & regulations'-oriented Japanese system aggravated cinematographer Howard Atherton so much that he left and the remaining camera work was completed by (who shot and would later direct ). It is noteworthy that lead actor Yusaku Matsuda who played the main villain Sato, was dying of cancer, but refused to reveal the advanced stage of his disease to director for fear that he would be replaced. He finished the movie, telling others that sacrificing his chances at 'living a few more months' was a worthy trade off for the chance to 'live forever' in a motion picture. He passed away seven months after the movie's American premiere. The cast also included and legendary Japanese actor. The following weapons were used in the film Black Rain.

Conklin carries the two revolvers next to each other in what is known as a 'New York Reload'. This scene takes place before the two NYPD detectives are forced to turn over their handguns to the Osaka police. Closeup of the Model 36. Colt Diamondback It appears that one of the uniformed N.Y.P.D. Officers assisting Conklin () and Charlie () when they arrest Sato in the meat packing plant is carrying a. Technically this is incorrect. A uniformed N.Y.P.D. Officer in the late 1980's would not have carried that model and instead would have more than likely been carrying a, or the. However Conklin is shown carrying a Colt Python and Charlie has a S&W Model 66. Neither model would have been carried by a N.Y.P.D. Detective in the 1980's so consider it poetic license. A Yakuza on the right fires the Norinco. Miscellaneous Trivia Though the majority of the scenes taking place in Japan were actually filmed in Japan, the final shootout at the winery took places in Napa, California for two reasons. (a) The production's work Visa had run out but more importantly (b) Japan's strict gun control forces many filmmakers to use 'flash paper' style non guns. Since Ridley Scott wanted real automatic weapons firing blanks, they had to film the gun battle in the U.S. What also tips off the viewer that this shootout was filmed in the states was the presence of so many well known Chinese American Stuntmen, like of and fame, who would not be in Japan (since there are many Japanese Stuntmen who would be available).
