Movies - Into the Sun


When the governor of Tokyo is murdered, the CIA taps their local operative, Travis Hunter, to look into it. Hunter discovers a web of corruption and violence that leads to an ambitious young yakuza boss attempting to move up through the ranks with the help of the Chinese triads. Hunter must use all of his contacts and abilities to defuse this potentially dangerous situation.

Into the Sun is an action packed adventure filmed in the style of the classic yakuza films The Yakuza
and Black Rain
filled with rich shots of modern Tokyo and the martial arts Steven Seagal
is known for.

Originally conceived as a remake of the Sydney Pollack
film The Yakuza
, Warner Brothers wouldn't release the rights to the story and the film was consequently reworked into Into the Sun.

Seagal reportedly put up much of his own money to finance this film as an homage to the Japan of his youth, and includes a scene through a Shinjuku back alley he routinely walked through going from his then 4 tatami apartment to the dojo he was training at and features many locally popular Asian actors such as Akira Terao, Takao Osawa and Ken Lo. Portions of the soundtrack were performed and recorded by Seagal, and released on his 2005 album Songs from the Crystal Cave.

Segal hoped to showcase his Japanese liguistic abilities and many of the scenes were shot in Japanese. However, the scenes were later dubbed in English due to the studio's belief that American audiences would not be able to follow the dialog.
