 Ridley Scott’s choice of setting does not fall on Tokyo but rather on the more futuristic Osaka, with its huge industrial areas, ever-present neon lights, and a heavy underlying gloom that often recalls the dystopian Los Angeles of “Blade Runner.”

 The Conklin-Sato duel embodies the USA-Japan challenge, exposing the weaknesses of both cultures, and only the wisdom gained after setting aside the initial hostility towards the otherness will allow the protagonists to prevail and, in Conklin’s case, also find redemption.

Ridley Scott's Black Rain is a compelling crime drama featuring Michael Douglas and Andy Garcia as New York cops caught in a violent clash with the Japanese mafia in Osaka.
