Excerpt from an article about director Daikichi Amano in Bizarre Magazine:

Quote:

"As I swept the frogs to the side, all the carcasses and faeces hidden underneath started to emerge. As soon as I saw them, I screamed for help but the director didn't stop filming. Reluctantly, I continued. Soon, everyone started to notice one thing - it stank! Apparently, the carcasses had started decomposing in the heat, and were emitting the smell of death. It was horrible, but the director wasn't going to stop filming and I continued for a few more minutes. Then, something just snapped inside me. I was completely enveloped in fear. And all the frogs suddenly seemed absolutely monstrous. I was nearly in tears and totally forgot I was on a film set. I think it was the first time I lost myself completely."
