    Oh, damn. I just made this same comment before scrolling down further and seeing yours.

    Come to find out the whole thing was filmed in China.

      Not sure why that’s relevant in any way, especially when it was made in Japan.

      Not to mention the fact that there has never been confirmation of animal abuse in the movie, per the snopes article linked under your prior comment.

        There is an uncut shot of a cat falling 20-30 feet into an ocean.

        If that’s not cruelty I don’t know what is.

        I checked. It was Japan and not China, but the relevancy is that the US in the 80’s wouldn’t have been allowed to throw a cat off a cliff or get ones pay bitten by a lobster or tossed in a river. Snopes not confirming anything is irrelevant, since there’s actual footage of this stuff happening. Do you have a stress free way of throwing a kitten off of a cliff?
