In San Francisco, I was an extra in a Japanese film. I was walking by, the director liked the way I looked and had me walk through the back of a scene. I didn't speak any Japanese so I don't know what film it was. The scene was at the bottom of Lombard Street. A young woman in a white sweater was standing by a blue Volkswagen talking to a man on a motorcycle. This was 91-92. I was a big guy with green hair in a brightly painted leather jacket. Anyone know this film? #movies #Japan #sfba
