Detective Bureau 2-3: Go to Hell Bastards! on DVD

A rapid fire gun heist, credits with an infectious jazz pop score, and a wide-screen close-up of a burning car announce Detective Bureau 2-3: Go to Hell Bastards! As the film that would both lampoon and redefine Asian crime films for an irreverent new decade of garish panache and ultra-violent cool. The story follows police detective Tajima (Shishido), who, tasked with tracking down stolen firearms, turns an underworld grudge into a bloodbath - while Suzuki transforms a colorful potboiler into an on-target send-up of cultural colonialism and post-war greed. "This isn't an American TV series," one of Tajima's doubting subordinates tells the sharkskin-suited, super suave sleuth.
