What's left behind the scenes
- Actress Ryoko Hirosue did not know French, and had to memorize all her lines by ear.
- While playing golf, the police chief asks Hubert: “Don’t you have roots?” – this is a clear reference to the film “Léon” (1994).
- Wasabi is a spice primarily used in Japan, with a very sharp and pungent taste reminiscent of mustard.
- The amount in Yumi's bank account is indicated in dollars, however when this amount is transferred to Hubert's account, it is already indicated in euros. This is explained by the fact that at the time of filming, the dollar and the euro were equivalent currencies.
- In the scene of checking into a hotel room, Hubert thanks the employee for their work by slipping a bill into their hand. However, in Japan, unlike Western countries, this is considered a gross insult.
- In the scene where Huber checks into the hotel, he thanks the employee and gives him a tip. In Japan, this is considered an insult.
- During a golf game, the police chief asks Hubert: “Don’t you have roots?” – this is a clear reference to the film “Léon” (1994).
- Filming took place from April to July 2001.
