Ten years ago, yakuza mid-boss Ikegami (Shin'ichi Tsutsumi) led an assault against rival don Muto (Fumi Nikaidô). 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#$* Bombers are standing by with the chance of a lifetime: to film a real, live yakuza battle to the death...on 35mm! Based on a screenplay he wrote nearly fifteen years ago, 'Why Don't You Play in Hell?' sees Sion Sono with his talent and unique vision completely unleashed. The result is a frenzied, gleeful masterpiece which he describes as "an action film about the love of 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, featuring an over-the-top, blood-soaked finale for the ages.
