Japan Region 2 100 Shot 100 Killed Toho (2008)

Background and Trivia

  • Toho registered the movie with the US copyright office on August 2nd, 1993 under the registration number PA0000625542. The titles used were the international title, Iron Finger, and the Romaji title, Hyappatsu Hyakuchu.
  • In Godzilla: Final Wars (2004), there is a scene where actor Akira Takarada's Naotaro Daigo escapes from the Xilien. After using a pair of ray guns to shoot a held sword, the character notes that people used to refer to him as 100 shot, 100 killed. The line, an intentional reference to this 1965 movie, was inserted at the request of director Ryuhei Kitamura. In fact, actor Takarada attempted to say a different line rather than reference the movie, talking about how his gun or aim was rusty. Addressed in a 2016 interview with Akira Takarada and Kumi Mizuno. Note that English subtitles for the 2004 Godzilla film tend to translate this line as "Mr. One Shot" instead, which is as it appears on releases from Sony.
