		Bay said that one of the things he enjoyed most about directing this film was the chance to actually meet the real people.
		Bay and Bruckheimer went to their meetings armed with the computer animatic battle sequence he'd used to convince himself that he should do the movie.
		Bay said that once a film is budgeted at more than $100 million it becomes essential business wise to have it appeal to the widest audience.

	The Battle of Vella Gulf: August 6-7, 1943, by Vincent P. O'Hara (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		Following up on their victory in the Battle of Kolombangara the Japanese moved troops into Vila, their principal port on Kolombangara, on the nights of July 19, July 22, and August 1 using destroyers as fast transports.
		This arrangement was an adaptation of Burke's basic destroyer battle doctrine: destroyers would operate in two groups, the group closest to the enemy when contact was made would attack with torpedoes.
		From the battle area, burning oil covered the sea while the smell of gas was so strong it burned the eyes.

	The Navy in Residence
		In 1900, the USS Holland, the Navy's first submersible, was brought to Newport, and torpedo station personnel manned her on maneuvers outside the Bay in which she penetrated surface vessel defenses and scored a theoretical 'hit' on a major United States warship.
		This was a period of rapid change in technology, and the Bay was the scene of many of the experimental approaches to naval warfare.
		The Bay communities, like those elsewhere, were subjected to constant campaigns by those who sought American commitment to the war and those who worked to maintain neutrality.

	The Perilous Fight . Doolittle Raid & Midway \| PBS
		Although it was to be presumed that machine gun fire from the ground was active, none of the crew members interviewed to date saw any such action nor was there evidence of machine gun fires in the bottom of any of the airplanes.
		One cluster of five or six was observed just north of the Northernmost part of Tokyo Bay and what appeared to be another cluster was observed near the Bay to the Southeast.
		It is felt that the indicated low morale of the Japanese pilots around Tokyo compared to the efficiency and aggressiveness of pilots encountered on the active front was the result of a knowledge on their part of the inadequacy of their equipment and their own personal inefficiency.

	Stomp Tokyo Video Reviews - Battle Royale (2000)
		Battle Royale is one of those films so controversial that its reputation has eclipsed its content.
		The subject matter of Battle Royale is too potentially controversial for most of the larger studios to touch, but the film was a big enough hit in Japan that Toei Studios would probably want more for the film's rights than a smaller company like Synapse or Anchor Bay could pay.
		If Battle Royale's purpose is to psychologically scar its participants, then it doesn't make much sense to kill off all but one of them.

	Tokyo Shootout
		All that the destroyermen were told was that strict radio silence would be maintained and that demolition explosives would be on hand in all radar, fire control and communication bays in case the ships were badly damaged.
		In the heat of battle, directing the maneuvers of three fast-moving ships plus his own could lead to all manner of possible mayhem, confusion and collision.
		General Quarters was sounded and the crew rushed to battle stations relieved at last that the nagging tedium had been broken.

	MilitaryHistoryOnline.com - Battle of Leyte Gulf Revisited
		And because "The Battle for Leyte Gulf" didn’t change the situation on the ground in any important way, it can’t go down as a major victory unless the largely unknown fifth battle is included as part of it.
		It was that battle that determined the final fate of the Japanese in the central Philippines.
		Since the purpose of the Battle for/of Leyte Gulf was to secure the Gulf area, any fair-minded assessment has to include the contributions of Army land forces—particularly the 77th Division, destroyer squadrons that raided enemy re-supply bases on the island, and Marine Fighter-Bomber groups that dealt heavy blows to Japanese shipping.

	The Tokyo Fire Raids, 1945
		He was in Tokyo on the night of March 9, 1945 when the wet winter weather made a surprise change to mild temperatures and gusty winds.
		The district hugged Tokyo Bay and was densely-packed with wooden homes lining winding streets that followed random paths - all the ingredients necessary for creating a perfect fire storm.
		The fiery air was blown down toward the ground and it was often the refugees' feet that began burning first: the men's puttees and the women's trousers caught fire and ignited the rest of their clothing.

	Amazon.com: Battle Royale Directors Cut: DVD: Kinji Fukasaku,Tatsuya Fujiwara,Aki Maeda,Taro Yamamoto,Chiaki ... (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		Battle Royale works on many different levels, highlighting the authorities' desperation to enforce law and order and the alienation caused by the generation gap.
		In Battle Royale Fukasaku is thought provoking again in that he allows for pockets of resistance and moments of female empowerment.
		However there still is lingering the disturbing theme of Battle Royale, dealing as it does with the corollary of a system of violence transferred from generation to generation thus perpetuating a cycle of violence.

		But for me the sight of the typically neat encampments the homeless have erected in certain places near the bay is a reminder that even the headiest miracle doesn’t last forever.
		During the gentrification process, a sort of “battle of the Ferris wheels” emerged in three localities, all within a relatively short distance of one another.
		Amusement parks in Odaiba, Kasai Rinkai Park in Tokyo, and Minato Mirai in Yokohama each built their own Ferris wheels and claimed to be home to the tallest or the biggest or the best.

		TOKYO (Ticker) -- Hideki Matsui gave his Japanese fans something to remember him by.
		Even after a two-run homer by Tony Clark in the fourth gave the Yankees a 3-1 lead, fans were jittery when a baserunning blunder by Kenny Lofton shorted a potentially big inning in the fifth.
		Tampa Bay starter Jeremi Gonzalez (0-1) held New York to one run the first time through the order but was hut by Clark's blast, which came immediately after a base paths mistake by Jason Giambi resulted in a double play.

		The island is purely fictional, however (there is an island in Japan by that name, but it's not located near Takamatsu--in fact, it's an extremely tiny island within a mountain lake, so it's likely not supposed to be the BR island), and the movie was actually shot in locations all over Japan.
		Miura Peninsula - on the Western side of Tokyo Bay, Miura peninsula is the site of some rocky beaches and caves that are often used for filming locations.
		Noriko and Nanahara's scene in the cave, Kiriyama's massacre of Numai's gang on the rocks, and the exterior lighthouse scenes (shot at the Tsurugizaki lighthouse) were shot at Miura Peninsula.

		On 19 June, in an engagement known as the Battle of the Philippine Sea, Iowa, as part of the battle line of Fast Carrier Task Force 58, helped repel four massive air raids launched by the Japanese Middle Fleet.

		She arrived at Suisan Bay, San Francisco, on 21 April 2001 and is part of the Reserve Fleet there.

		For the climactic battle with the Drift King, Rhys Millen in the Mustang had to work hard to keep up with Tanner Faust in the 350Z — who was consciously slowing to let Millen stay close.
		Fortunately for the Tokyo Drift crew, Mustangs were sold with six-cylinder engines, so the engine bay is designed to accept that configuration.
		Unfortunately, that engine bay was designed back in the '60s, before anyone was using either computers or the metric system in America.
