Project Breakdown​

ARROW is essentially, a comic book brought to life.  A common consequence of this type of story telling, is that interesting situations & characters take precedent over technical or scientific accuracy. 

Typically, our assignments with this production usually focus on providing visually interesting props that serve a specific story requirement, but do not necessarily represent an accurate representation of a real-world item.
This assignment was no exception.  Although evocative of an actual Japanese land mine, considerable licence was taken in the design to better serve the story and scripted action.

Moreover, a land mine of this kind, if found buried in a tropical environment since WW II (as the story depicts), would probably appear to be not much more than a heavily pitted mass of rust.  Oh well… that's show-biz folks!
