WHY DON'T YOU PLAY IN HELL? (2013)

Imagine Quentin Tarantino going to an all-you-can-eat sushi bar, over-eating, then crashing into an insane dream ... and you have the film Why Don't You Play in Hell?, a bloody yakuza-thriller-comedy-romance about a Japanese crime boss who wants to make his wife's release from prison (after ten years) special by hiring a movie crew to make a film starring their teen daughter, who got famous as a little girl for a popular toothpaste commercial.  Enter the F*ck Bombers, a group of four gorilla filmmakers whose leader is determined to make his name in film history ... or die trying.  When that same leader gets the idea to film the actual raid of the crime boss and his gang on a rival yakuza gang, things go from nuts to insane, and words can't convey the sheer lunacy of the violent, bloody, off-its-hinges (and often hilarious) mayhem that follows.  While I wish it had a stronger ending, this is a great film, so original and nuts (and SO much fun) you can't help but appreciate it for that alone.
