Making-Of Video Shows Wire Stunts for TOKYO BURST
A making-of video for the film "TOKYO BURST-犯罪都市-" has been released on YouTube, showing behind-the-scenes footage including wire action between lead actor Koji Mizukami and villain actor Sota Fukushi. The film is a Japanese original story set in the universe of the Korean "Crime City" series produced by and starring Ma Dong-seok. Directed by Eiji Uchida, the movie follows rookie detective Aiba Shiro (Mizukami) and Korean police detective Choi Si-woo (Yunho from TVXQ) as they pursue an international crime syndicate in Tokyo's Kabukicho district. Fukushi plays the syndicate boss Murata Renji, with Eom Gi-jun as his right-hand man Kim Hoon. In the video, Mizukami describes his character as someone who moves instinctively, while Uchida compares Aiba's headbutt ability favorably to Ma Dong-seok's. Yunho, making his Japanese film debut, discusses the importance of motivation behind action scenes. The film opens May 29 at TOHO Cinemas Hibiya and nationwide. First-run attendees will receive an original postcard from May 29 to June 4, while supplies last.
