  • Basada en: Teito Monogatari

Tokyo: The Last War is a 1989 Japanese epic tokusatsu historical dark fantasy/science fiction film directed by Takashige Ichise and distributed by Toho Studios. It is an adaptation of the eleventh book of the Teito Monogatari novel by Hiroshi Aramata. It is the second cinematic adaptation of the Teito Monogatari series and is a sequel to Tokyo: The Last Megalopolis.

Production

The box-office success of Tokyo: The Last Megalopolis prompted a sequel to immediately be put into production. The film also marked the directorial debut of Takashige Ichise, a Japanese film producer best known in the west for financing such J-Horror classics as Ring, Ju-on: The Grudge, and Dark Water as well as their respective Hollywood remakes.

With fewer resources, Ichise determined the sequel should be more akin to an action movie than an epic film. This change was also made in response to criticisms that the plot of the first movie had been difficult for general audiences to understand. The plot adapted only a single book in the series (as opposed to the first film, which had adapted the plot of four books).

The open set was built in Sasebo, Nagasaki Prefecture, on a scale larger than that of Tokyo: The Last Megalopolis. Filming took place in Nagasaki for about a month, but was marred by continuous rain . Miniatures were hardly used as in the previous film, and the action scenes were centered on the open set.
