Walk Don’t Run, 1966Cary Grant, in his last film, traipses through the Hotel Okura and around Toranomon during the Tokyo Olympics. Filming other scenes entailed reserving an entire train car of the Rinkai line and using 400 extras, using the former Chiyoda Ward office to depict the police station and ministry of infrastructure, as well as Narita airport for one scene where CIA agents pursue Rain. Therefore, the scene ultimately went through numerous takes, and each time, the cast could only hope that no one would notice what was going on. This was due to the fact that if a single person were to inadvertently make eye contact with the video camera, the scene would have to be reshot. The crew then resorted to guerrilla filmmaking, although this tactic also proved extremely difficult. A spokesperson for the producers said the crew frantically sought to disperse the crowd as the characters ran through them. The filming of one chase scene took place in Akihabara over two days, including a Sunday. The movie deals with a Japanese-American assassin being pursued by CIA agents in stations and crowded streets. The producers of this year’s action film “Rain Fall” had to shoot their on-location scenes quickly before anyone had a chance to complain.
