Emperor is a 2013 American-Japanese drama film directed by Peter Webber (Hannibal Rising). On the orders of General Douglas MacArthur, Japan expert General Bonner Fellers is sent to the devastated Tokyo of the immediate post-war period. There, he is to search for Japan's main war criminals and investigate the situation of the Emperor of Japan. Although Emperor Hirohito is highly valued by his people, he is accused of serious war crimes. Fellers should help make a decision of special magnitude: Should the Emperor be brought to justice and sentenced to death?
The following weapons were used in the film Emperor:
Pistols
Colt M1911A1
The Colt M1911A1 is used by U.S. Army soldiers, including General Fellers (Matthew Fox), who keeps one in his holster.
Colt Model 1903
Hideki Tojo (Shôhei Hino) is seen with a historically accurate Colt 1903 Hammerless Pistol after he fails to shoot himself.
Rifles
Arisaka Type 38
Japanese soldiers use Arisaka Type 38 rifles, most prominently when MacArthur (Tommy Lee Jones) is greeted at Atsugi Air Base near Yokohama by a street of 2,000 Japanese soldiers on August 30, 1945. During Koichi Kido's (Masato Ibu) flashback, IJA soldiers and Imperial Guards are seen fighting with Arisaka rifles during the Kyūjō incident. Later, boxes full of Arisakas can be seen at a Tokyo harbor.
Fellers:"They avert their gaze for their Emperor too, sir. They are paying you the ultimate respect."
MacArthur:"I know."
Japanese soldiers guarding the street as MacArthur arrives in Tokyo. The rifles to the right have two central barrel bands instead of one, which could be a hint that some Arisakas are mock-ups.
Arisaka Type 99
At least some Arisaka Type 99 are seen at the end of the movie.
M1 Garand
U.S. troops are armed with M1 Garands throughout the film.
M1 Carbine
The M1 Carbine equipped with the late WWII bayonet lug is also used by U.S. soldiers.
