With its own unique accent, intonations, and vocabulary, Tosa-ben is known throughout Japan as one of the most difficult Japanese dialects to master. Wanting to be as authentic as possible, the director insisted that the Japanese characters speak in Tosa-ben. Thus, several consultants were used throughout the production to help the actors.

8.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: The Harimaya Bridge (2009)?
a.		Though set at the University of California at Berkeley, the concert scene was filmed at the African American Art & Culture Complex in San Francisco.

b.		In this movie there is a scene in which Doc Brown holds a conversation with his 1955 counterpart (who is unaware of who he is talking to). During this scene Doc is wearing a brown trench coat and hat. If you look carefully in the first movie, you can see a man dressed exactly like this (and therefore, presumably Doc) walking away shortly before the clock-tower scene. In the DVD commentary it is explained that this was not intentional, as the script for the second movie hadnt even been written at the time that they filmed the first one.
c.		All the outdoor scenes were actually filmed in San Francisco except for the bank robbery which Dirty Harry foils, when he first utters his immortal phrase, "Do I feel lucky? Well, do ya, punk?" This scene was shot on a set.
d.		(At 1:01:35) The fish eyed effect when Max realizes his family is not moving to Chicago after all, was achieved by doing a close-up using a wide-angle lens, while the swimming distortion effect in shots of his parents was achieved using a "mesmerizer" lens that could be dialed around while in use.

9.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: The Harimaya Bridge (2009)?
a.		The surprising success of this film forced American International Pictures to fast track Pam Griers next picture, Foxy Brown, which they released only nine months later.
b.		One of over 700 Paramount Productions, filmed between 1929 and 1949, which were sold to MCA/Universal in 1958 for television distribution, and have been owned and controlled by Universal ever since.
c.		Filmed late June-early August 1938 (copyright 1939), Boris Karloffs first screen role since The Invisible Menace in late 1937. His next two features were Mr. Wong, Detective (copyright 1938) and Son of Frankenstein (copyright 1939).
d.		Though deceased in "The Harimaya Bridge," the character Mickey is very much alive and featured as the central character in the short films "Eki" (The Station) and "Kuroi Hitsuji" (Black Sheep). "Eki," a comedy, takes place two weeks after Mickey first arrives in Japan. "Kuroi Hitsuji," a drama, takes place after Mickey has been in Japan for six months.

10.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: The Harimaya Bridge (2009)?
a.		Originally 6 hours long, censored to about 130 minutes.
b.		Specialist Grimes, portrayed by Ewan McGregor, is a fictional character, though given his administrative position and penchant for coffee, he is unabashedly based on the real-life Ranger clerk Spc John Stebbins, who was awarded the Silver Star for his actions during the battle. However, Stebbins was convicted in 2000 for child molestation and is currently serving a 30-year jail term. As a result, the Pentagon apparently pressured screenwriters to alter his name in the film, although a spokeswoman for the movie defended the change as "a creative decision made by the producers."
c.		During the bedside interrogation of the Hungarian survivor of the fire, the interpreter mistranslates a key word. The Hungarian uses the word "pasas" (pronounced "pash-aash") which the interpreter (who speaks Hungarian with a strong American accent and is therefore not native) translated as "we were picking up a package". "Pasas" is actually Hungarian slang for a "guy". Only another Hungarian could have picked up on it, and as a result, no one in the movie did, hence the polices investigation of the non-existent cocaine delivery as the motive for the fire, which allowed Verbal the time he needed to go free.
d.		The actual Harimaya Bridge sits in the middle of Kochi City, Japan, and can be seen in the film.
