This Is Where They Filmed The Last Samurai

Sunday June 5, 2005
The film The Last Samurai brings into sharp focus the countryside where much of the movie was shot, not in Japan which is the story's setting but in that western region of New Zealand's North Island which is lorded over by snow-capped Mt Taranaki. The film stars Tom Cruise in the land of the samurai.
Test your knowledge of New Zealand.
