You can see T. K. Carter's knife fight from the American TV show "Punky Brewster" that inspired the knife fight in SAKI. It starts right around 5:00.

Punky beginnings

Trivia: When killer Kanekichi 1st attacks Saki's grandfather, Shin, the Old Man takes off his sweater and wraps it around his arm to fight against Kanekichi's tanto knife. This action sequence was originally conceived by the writer as a child many years ago while watching an episode of the American TV show "Punky Brewster" where Punky's teacher (played by T. K. Carter) saves her from a trouble maker named Blade by wrapping a handkerchief around his hand to prevent from getting cut.

Dreams that lie to me

In my dream, my friend Sean explained that a young electric ukulele musician named Walt would train mice to bite down on his cables in order to prevent them from getting tangled. The 1st mouse he trained was named Mickey and thus the legend of Walt Disney and Mickey Mouse began. Oddly enough if he wasn't explaining this to me while being bored in a Japanese hostess club, I would've believed him.

Subtext of subtitles

I don't know how many writers get to do their own subtitles but for SAKI it's been a good lesson on how to keep dialog tight and efficient. Nobody wants to read a fricken novel on the screen. Keep It Simple Scriptwriters!
