You know that scene in Crocodile Dundee where Mick knocks out some muggers, stands on them in victorious pose, and has his picture taken by shutter-happy Japanese tourists, one of whom says: 'Iss, ah, Krrrint Eastwood'?
Well, er, it's true. I am indebted to Jay Rubin, oftentimes translator of Haruki Murakami, for the information that the original Japanese title of Hard-Boiled Wonderland and the End of the World is, no kidding, Sekai no owari to hadoboirudo wandarando.
Though why the title is backwards, I can't tell you.
