FILM 1182: HARAKIRI
TRIVIA: While filming, Tatsuya Nakadai was afraid
during most of the sword and spear fighting scenes because real swords were
being used, a practice now forbidden in Japanese films. His concern was not
alleviated even though professional swordsmen were employed during the
choreographed swordplay.
Seppuku and harakiri (the US
working title) both mean to commit ritual suicide in Japanese. However, seppuku
is the formal term, derived from the kanji characters for "hara"
(belly) and "kiri" (cut); harakiri is the cruder, less polite term
for this act.
