Splatter comedy that sees an amateur film club stumble into the conflict between two yakuza gangs. Despite the silly premise, this is one of the last (if not the last) Sion Sono's masterpieces before his downfall in the last decade. It's just a grotesque parody of yakuza movies, but the approach is again lavishly post-modern - in a "Kill Bill" kind of way to draw an easy comparison. The tight editing and perfect casting choice also give a big bump to the film. The first half might be a little slow, but once the two storylines converge, it quickly escalates to a cathartic climax. I even ended up tearing up for some unknown reason during the scene with the cast reuniting at the end.
