''Why Don't You Play in Hell?'' is a 2013 Japanese dark comedy written and directed by Creator/SionSono. It's about the intersection of a yakuza war, an ambitious MafiaPrincess, and a ludicrously motivated amateur film crew.

!!This film features the following tropes
* AffablyEvil: Ikegami despite being the head of a Main/{{Yakuza}} gang is actually fairly nice and easy going.
* AssholeVictim [[spoiler:Muto and Ikegami along with their whole crew were murderous Main/{{Yakuza}} gangsters]].
* AwesomeAnachronisticApparel: One yakuza clan reinvents itself by wearing traditional kimonos and living in a medieval castle in an attempt to get more warrior spirit.
* BittersweetEnding [[spoiler:Hirata the head of Fuck Bombers gets to finally make his movie. Unfortunately it comes at the cost of his friends' and everyone else's deaths. He also seems to be losing his sanity if the last scene is anything to go by.]]
* BreakingTheFourthWall: In the end, as befits a film about filmmakers, [[spoiler:we hear the director call cut and the real film crew walk into the shot]].
* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: The Fuck Bombers are pretty eccentric to say the least.
* CurbStompBattle
** [[spoiler: Muto and Ikegami's crew are fairly evenly matched but once the heavily armed police arrive, they easily take both of the remaining gangster crews down]].
** Mrs. Muto early in the movie manages to easily kill several of Ikegami crew members and even badly wounds Ikegami despite being out numbered.
* {{Determinator}}: Subverted with The Fuck Bombers. Three of the four members have never given up trying to make movies even during the ten year skip despite having no success. Tak on the other hand starts to get fed up with the lack of success and briefly leaves the group.
* DidNotDoTheBloodyResearch: The Japanese film crew call themselves the "Fuck Bombers."
* GangOfHats: The clans are distinguished by their outfits: one wears classic suits, the other wears traditional kimonos and live in a castle.
* GratuitousEnglish:
** The toothpaste jingle has gratuitous English interspersed throughout, including "Let's go!" and "Let's fly!"
** The filmmakers call themselves by the English phrase "Fuck Bombers." It's unclear whether they even know what this means.
* HighPressureBlood: Several instances, but the final fight takes it up to eleven.
* MafiaPrincess: Michiko, the strong-willed daughter of yakuza leader Muto. She wants to be a star at all costs.
* MobWar: Between two rival yakuza clans
* NonIndicativeTitle: What the title means is never directly referenced.
* OffWithHisHead:
** [[spoiler:How Muto meets his end during the final fight.]]
** [[spoiler: Mitsuko kills a whole group of people this way during the final fight.]]
* RasputinianDeath: There are at least two examples of this in the final fight.
* RuleOfFunny: ... Let's just say "a lot" and leave it at that.
* StageMom: Mitsuko's mom shows signs of it.
* ShoutOut:
** Tak Sakaguchi sports the Creator/BruceLee yellow tracksuit from ''Film/GameOfDeath'' and [[Film/KillBill wields a katana]].
** [[spoiler:Tak's death scene is in itself is also a reference to how Bruce Lee is killed in Film/FistOfFury]].
* StylisticSuck: The trailer that Fuck Bombers creates obviously has NoBudget.
* TimeSkip: The film jumps ten years after the first act and recasts all of the Fuck Bombers.
* Main/{{Yakuza}}
