Why Don't You Play in Hell? (2013) Trailer

Jigoku de naze warui

Why Don't You Play in Hell? (地獄でなぜ悪い Jigoku de naze warui, literally Why is hell (so) bad?) is a 2013 Japanese film directed by Sion Sono.

Watch the Trailer!

There's a war going on, but that won't stop the inexperienced but eager wannabe film crew The F*ck Bombers from following their dreams of making the ultimate action epic. Ten years ago, yakuza mid-boss Ikegami led an assault against rival don Muto. Now, on the eve of his revenge, all Muto wants to do is complete his masterpiece, a feature film with his daughter in the starring role, before his wife is released from prison. And The F*ck Bombers are standing by with the chance of a lifetime: to film a real, live yakuza battle to the death... on 35mm! Endlessly irreverent and wildly, hilariously visceral, Why Don't You Play In Hell? is a Tarantino-esque ode to the yakuza films of yore, and features an over-the-top, blood-soaked finale for the ages.
