Война на море от Гавайских островов до Малайзии режиссера Кадзиро Ямомото - это крупнобюджетный фильм со спецэффектами, снятый в честь первой годовщины атаки на Перл Харбор. На ту пору это был самый дорогой японский фильм за всю историю кино. Батальные сцены, снятые при помощи миниатюрных моделей, были настолько реалистичны и так искусно смешаны с архивными съемками, что некоторые американцы, смотревшие этот фильм после войны, думали, что все это - съемки реальных боевых действий. Благодаря этому фильму все узнали, насколько хорошим мастером спецэффектов является Эйдзи Тсубурайа. Далее он создавал миниатюры для фильма Годзилла 1954-ого года. Съемки нападения на Перл Харбор казались такими реальными, что верховное командование союзных войск конфисковало его и продало компании Мувитон Ньюз Корпорэйшн. И кадры из этого фильма показывались как реальные съемки нападения японцев на Америку.
