Reference guides for Film and TV

[Titus Publius Saturninus]

I had an opportunity to work with the " Last Samurai" crew when they came down here to Taupo to shoot the film. They didn't give a toss about correctly portraying the correct Satsuma Rebellion swords which were actually just taken arsenal blades wrapped inversely, used plain black iron kodogu (metal fittings) and so such entitled" Rebellion swords"

Within the remarks that were made it was all about how the GP views such things VS cost to make a movie. Swords used were mainly ready to go cheapola stock items.

Cheers,

Rick
