The most screwed up movie I've seen in a long time!

Tokyo gore with a hit of influence from Guy Richie.It was the perfect midnight movie with such an over the top cartoonish violence about an Amateur filmmaker who stumbles upon the opportunity of a life time (or as he sees it, a gift from the film God) when a young man needs his help in making a movie after getting caught up with a Yakuza boss' daughter.A series of events with a large ensemble cast that wove together perfectly.This movie was strange but so entertaining I did not stop smiling throughout the whole thing

Cinema obsession

How much do you love cinema? Are you willing, like the threesome known as the F Bombers in this movie, willing to put your life on the line to film real violence in the guise of creating a good movie? Will you be like the crime boss Ikegami, who is so obsessed by samurai films that he turns his gang's base into a castle and forces everyone to wear costumes? Or would you be Sasaki, a man who other see as potentially the next Bruce Lee?Why Don't You Play In Hell? Finds the F Bombers separated ten years after their failed prayer to the God of Cinema, hoping to finally make a movie they can be proud of.In the past, a mob boss named Muto defeated a home invasion, killing everyone but Ikegami. Now so many years later, they have both gained followers and are destined to battle one another, as the F Bombers have the destiny of capturing it all on film.Here's to director and writer Sion Sono, someone who is so willing to make it great while keeping it weird as it gets. I get the feeling that much like his heroes in this film, he is willing to die to create something that pleases the God of Cinema.We should all love movies. We should all be willing to die for them, but as you will discover, F Bombers never die.
