This is one of my favourite films in my collection that is not already listed here. It stars David Bowie, Tom Conti, Ryuichi Sakamoto, Takeshi Kitano and Jack Thompson. It's about Major Celliers (Bowie) that is held captive in a Japanese prison camp on Java in 1942. He needs to battle his inner demons in order to overcome the enemies, that's how I read it. This film has the most beautiful musical score ever, and the acting is incredible. It is, in my opinion a very underrated film and a must-see. Shot in New Zealand and Cook Islands.

 @ lateef: please reduce the pic with the name of the movie. My suggestion: use geting.se for thumbnails in comments.

Looks as if the usual rule about Imperial Japanese hardware (or the lack thereof) applies:
Alexander wrote Actually there is hardly any film showing armour from that period that is not using post-war equipment. Original military material is usually no longer existent, or not in a usable condition, or too valuable to be used by a film crew.

 Well, the Jeep could have been captured and used by the Japanese. As far as I'm concerned, quite a few Jeeps were stationed in Java (that's where it takes place) prior to the Japanese occupation. The Jeep does even have an imperial star taped over the grille, which all Japanese military vehicles had at the time.
