including a lot of piglets

'I originally wanted 1500 pigs for the climatic sequence of the gang fight in the middle of the [Yokosuka's] red-light district, but we ran out of money. The head of Nikkatsu [studios] was furious with me. In the event I had to make it with only 400 pigs, including a lot of piglets. I had to do the best I could within the financial restraints.'
