Trivia

The setting of the film is Little Tokyo, in 1935 Los Angeles. However, most of present day Little Tokyo looks dramatically different, with many modern buildings. Only certain interior scenes were filmed in Little Tokyo. Key exterior scenes were actually shot in an area that was originally part of Los Angeles' Chinatown, and were enhanced digitally to appear to be geographically situated where Little Tokyo is located (with the famous City Hall tower in the background).
