At poker last weekend, asked the guy on my right about his card protector. Turns out, he was a member of a group that goes around to spots where filming occurred. Kinda like geocaching, but for movie sites.
Unfortunately, I failed to note the name of the organization. Sounded fun, we briefly discussed different spots we'd visited because of movies we liked.
Dir: Kinji Fukasaku, same guy who did Battle Royale and a ton of other stuff.
Cup Noodles: She made beans!
Pretty girls showing their boobs! Check!
Now the brother is after him!
Naked girl in fur coat: Lady cop with pink garter belt!
Arguably the greatest role for a 1966 Prince Skyline 1500 Deluxe until the advent of video games!
Brasil, day after tomorrow: Rob another bank!
Weird and brutally unexpected homosexual love-hotel rape scene: Check!
One of the great chaotic movie chase scenes: What if Frank Bullitt quit the S.F.P.D. and joined the Keystone Kops?! What if Buddy Hackett and Johnathan Winters flew off the road while filming It’s a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World!, and landed in the middle of an Osaka Bank Robbery?! Roving news teams, irate citizens, motorcycle gangs, cop-on-cop violence, and our rape victim in a red Trans Am!: All is lost for our heroic couple! But wait!!!
Lots of handheld camera work.
Slapstick-Noir Rom-Com: This movie made me so happy – it wasn’t what I was expecting when I first started watching. I love it when I’m eyeballing a flick and thinking, “B+,” and then the whole thing explodes and takes off. Check it out!
Spoiler:
Don’t worry, there are banks in Brasil!
Thanks for the heads up, I'm kinda surprised I haven't heard of this as I'm rather partial to Japanese exploitation, who can give those crazy Italians a run for their money imho.
If you like that kinda thing, I highly recommend Zero Woman Red Handcuffs (1974) if you haven't seen yet, about a badass female cop who, along with her sexy red handcuffs, infiltrates a scuzzy gang of kidnappers, whose taste in fashion- even by early 70s standards- is often as offensive as their behaviour. In terms of content it throws in everything but the kitchen sink, while cheerfully throwing anything resembling good taste out the nearest window and quite rightly too.

This one's famous, but I've never seen it. Same director, same lead actress, Miki Sugimoto. All this stuff I looked for years ago is becoming available, thx for the heads up.
I tried several times, but could not make it through "Greedy People." Every character was annoying even though the actors across the board are top notch.
"Logan Lucky" was okay, but not great, if you are looking for something to mindlessly make 2 hours pass by.
Short of yelling 'Fire' in a crowded movie theater, because no one cares if you yell 'fire' in an empty theater, there should be NO THROTTLING of subjectivity... and to do so only empowers the established power brokers.

there are a lot of YT channels and facebook groups that do this location geocaching...
