흥미로운 사실

Shatterer is a 1987 film directed by Tonino Valerii.

Production

Shatterer was produced with Japanese funding. Producer Asao Kumada got in contact with director Tonino Valerii after being suggested to him by Peter Shepherd. Shepherd had previously met with Valerii on the set of The Best of Enemies and again on Day of Anger where he was Giuliano Gemma's dialogue coach.

Valerii did not like Kumada's story for the film involving the mafia taking over a nearly bankrupt steel mill that is saved by a Japanese team. Valerii stated that it was absurd for the mafia to attempt to take over a company that was at a loss and read about a car engine that would work for less fuel was being tested on and suggested Kumada to make a story about that.

Shooting for the film took place in early 1987 at Empire Studios in Rome and later in Sicily. Co-production requirements demanded a Japanese lead, which was played by singer Koji Kikkawa which was meant to be a stepping stone into the Western market.
