The friction caused by the trade between the US and Japan
is prompting outrage across the US, leading to mobs
destroying Japanese cars...
They really hate Japanese people.
Will we be safe filming over there?
...and have asked that no harm come to the Japanese in the US.
Hey, man.
I hired a local coordinator in Hawaii named Jimmy for cheap.
He said he'll reach out to this porn actress for us, too.
-Really? -Yeah.
Good work, Toshi!
Sounds like things will work out.
Not so fast.
If she's going to be our star, we need to make this bigger.
But how will we afford it?
Well, that's...
Where did you get that money?
Don't ask.
Mr. Kawada, I appreciate this.
This is the last time I indulge you.
You guys aren't going there for vacation.
Understood!
Of course, we know.
- Are you really sure? - Yes.
Don't worry, we're serious about the shoot.
Ah.
You'd better not make a shitty film.
Leave it to me.
Mr. Muranishi,
good luck with everything.
Thanks.
See you later. All right, off we go.
- Yes, sir! - Yes, sir!
We're counting on you to make that comeback home run!
- Yes, sir! - Yes, sir!
Go get them.
Aloha. Welcome.
Awesome!
Oh!
Aloha!
So cute! We're in Hawaii!
Junko, come down to Earth.
Get your act together. This isn't a vacation.
-Yes, sir. -Yes, sir.
Oh, my.
Aloha.
Are you Sapphire Pictures?
-Jimmy? -Yes, I'm Jimmy!
Nice to meet you all!
Aloha.
Aloha!
-Aloha. -Aloha.
Yes.
Well, go ahead and load up your bags.
This way. Go ahead.
Would you mind helping with this luggage? It's heavy.
Huh.
You're too skinny. You've got to put on some muscles!
You can do it!
There you go.
-I'm Muranishi, the director. -Mr. Muranishi.
Is Allison Mandy coming?
Ah. She has already arrived and is resting at the hotel.
Are you going to be okay? Big time actresses can be divas.
I'm looking forward to it.
Hey!
How do you know the lyrics, Jimmy?
Maybe he's actually Japanese.
All right, we're here.
- No way. We're staying here? - Here we are.
- Oh, my. - This is amazing!
Right? Yujiro Ishihara owns a villa around here, too.
Eh?
Let's go check it out later!
Jimmy, you speak Japanese very well. Where are you from?
Northern Tokyo.
I thought so! Do you know enough about Hawaii?
Don't worry!
Well, I don't have a Green Card yet, but I'm based in Hawaii.
You sure?
You worry too much, Mitamura.
That hurt.
Is the cast all here?
Of course! I've hooked you up with sexy girls and hot guys.
Have you seen her?
Okay, everyone,
can I get your attention, please?
This is our director.
Mr. Muranishi, please.
I'm Muranishi, the director.
This will be an epic about female spies fighting an evil organization using sex.
Basically,
we're shooting Charlie's Angels,
but with sex.
A Japanese spy porn flick?
-Lovely. -So, I'm a spy?
This is great! Whoo.
That one's pupils are dilated.
So, are you sturdy down there too?
Or what?
Oh, Christina.
Will you please control yourself until the camera's rolling?
Hey, man.
I can handle the action, man.
He says he can handle the action.
Hey, you guys.
The quality of the cast doesn't seem so great.
Don't worry. They're amazing actors.
That must be Allison!
I'll get the door!
Mr. Muranishi.
What?
Don't worry, just put these on.
You look like Akira Kurosawa.
Keep those on for her.
Hi, how are you?
Hi.
You look nothing like you used to.
- How could you change so much, Allison? - Oh?
Oh.
Allison?
I'm Angela.
Angela?
Mm-hm. Allison's manager.
She's her manager.
Oh.
Right, of course. You scared me.
- So, where is she? Where's Allison? - Oh.
Here we go!
Hi, I'm Allison.
I bet they're enjoying themselves right now.
I'm sure.
I'll come up with some money too,
so quit being so upset all the time.
Cheer up.
I guess you're right...
Oh.
So, where exactly did that money come from?
I borrowed it from a kind-hearted person.
Mm-hm.
This is very delicious.
You must be quite cultured
to know the difference.
So...
How's your mother?
She has calmed down.
I apologize for the trouble.
No, the commission was simply doing its job.
I see.
By the way,
do you intend to continue as an actress?
Well...
So how do you think he convinced this porn actress to star in the film?
Maybe he bluffed?
"The first Hollywood movie by Japan's top director."
That's a bit of an exaggeration, no?
They'll be in for a surprise.
Her schedule just happened to be open.
Typically, she wouldn't be available for this kind of rate.
She's happy the timing worked out.
I agree.
The "sky fuck" scene is the climax, but I expect good performances all around.
The climax
is a big "sky fuck" scene, but he wants good acting in every scene.
Of course.
I'm intending to shock
the international porn industry.
- I won't compromise. - He wants to shock
the porn industry everywhere, so no compromises.
I have no intention
of compromising either.
She won't compromise, either.
Will there be any, uh,
Japanese guys in this film?
Any Japanese male actors?
- No, there won't be any. - No.
Huh. Good.
They say the Japanese have small dicks.
What're they laughing about?
Don't worry about it.
Allison, before you remove your clothes, I want your heart to be bare.
He wants
to make your heart naked, too.
I'm sorry.
I'm not your girlfriend, so that's not going to happen.
What did she say?
She says no thanks.
Okay, anyway.
Seriously, just make sure I look hot, okay?
Just make her look sexy.
That goes without saying.
Look, I don't shoot genital close-ups and over-the-top fucking.
Eroticism is all about coyness.
Oh.
Thank you.
Hawaii?
Yeah.
They went to shoot some Hollywood type thing with a famous porn actress.
A Hollywood version of an adult video?
I can't even begin to imagine what it'll look like.
Right? No one can ever guess what he's thinking.
So, what did you want to discuss?
Oh.
I need your help to make those guys shut up.
Do you understand what it means to ask something like that of a yakuza, Toshi?
I do.
But we can't do business in peace as long as they're around.
They're out to destroy us.
There's one way you guys can beat Ikezawa.
-Really? -Yes.
It's risky, but...
Are you ready to gamble, Toshi?
Listen up.
We're going to shoot the scene with the big main title.
We're gonna shoot a big title sequence.
You'll walk from there to here.
You come walking.
The camera's behind you.
And the camera will follow from behind.
Come walking and stop right here.
And then stop right here.
Stand still and count three seconds.
And then count three seconds.
Then turn to face the camera.
And then turn to face the camera.
And then strip down. Got it?
Come on. Seriously?
I can't get naked in the middle of the street.
Are you guys trying to dick me around?
Because in what world is this meant to look hot?
Ask him what happened to that coyness he was talking about?
Coyness?
She can't get naked here.
It's not sexy either. And what about coyness?
Contrast brings that out.
It's all about contrast.
Oh, contrast.
So does that mean we can get naked in the middle of the street? Is that okay?
Because in America, you can't get naked in the middle of the street.
-Stop. Hold on. Calm down. -Calm down, please.
Jimmy, control the situation!
- Oh, it's the po-po. - Stay back here.
Hey.
Hello, officer, how's it going?
Action romance?
It's a love story that transcends national boundaries.
Right, right.
- Hey, isn't that-- - This is mad. You have to...
You're not shooting a porno over here, are you?
A porno? Yes.
- Don't say anything. - You just admitted
-that you're shooting a porno. -No, no, no.
That's not what he said.
He's Japanese, and he doesn't really speak English.
He was trying to say...
-police. -"Police?"
You know, last week, we arrested this yakuza hotshot.
He walked around town acting like he owned this city.
And with a straight face, just like he's giving to me right now,
he said he wasn't in possession of any drugs.
But guess what?
We found it in his underwear.
In his fucking underwear.
So you can already imagine
we're not really in a trusting mood when it comes to the Japanese right now.
-But these people are not yakuza. -Yeah.
We'll find out once we check his underwear.
- Oh, come on man. - No.
-Take it easy. -No. We're gonna check his underwear
- and probably check yours too. - Mine?
- We're letting them go. - Wait, what?
It's obvious they're trying to shoot a porno over here.
All right.
Gentlemen, uh, we apologize for the inconvenience.
Hope you have a good day.
What's going on?
He says we're free to go.
JAPAN PASSPORT
Fucking Jap.
Cops have attitudes in any country.
Either way, we shouldn't shoot here anymore.
Fine. I'll rewrite the script in the car.
Let's wrap up here!
Okay, let's shoot!
Mr. Muranishi!
-Where's Allison? -With her manager.
She's upset that she doesn't look sexy.
Just bring her here.
Please listen to your actresses more.
Unlike in Japan, women over here say exactly what's on their mind.
You need to face her eye-to-eye. Just like you did with Kuroki.
There's no way
I'm gonna make a comeback from this shitty video.
Allison, just...
Hang in there. There's no other work out there for you.
And you're sure I'm getting paid?
Of course, you're getting paid.
It's for your little girl. Remember?
Keep telling yourself.
For your little girl.
-Hey, Allison. -Hi.
You know...
I have respect for you.
He has respect for you.
I find that hard to believe.
She doubts you.
It's true.
You've brought joy to more men than any Hollywood actress.
You've brought joy to more men
than any Hollywood actress.
Together with you,
I want to shock the world.
Together with you,
he wants to shock the world.
Look, I'm a professional actress.
So I'm gonna do as you direct me to. Okay?
As a professional,
she'll do as you direct.
Okay.
Don't disappoint me.
Don't disappoint her.
Of course not.
Okay, this will be a take!
And...
Action!
I'm gonna take off your ears, then your nose.
- Hold on! - Hold on!
What do you want, bitches?
You did not just call me "bitch."
How's this for bitch?
Cut, okay!
Allison!
Perfect!
Boss.
-Give our guest here a peek. -Okay.
Wait.
Is this Ikezawa's?
Don't tell me that bastard...
If sales grow above ground, sales underground increase too.
Not to mention, underground stuff generates far more revenue.
- Hey, what the fuck! - Get back!
What the fuck?
I'm still sleepy, damn it. Keep it down for Christ's sake.
Don't fuck with us! We haven't fallen that low!
Right, you're busted.
It's a bust.
I'll bury you alive, you pieces of shit.
Ha?
This is a business, too.
- Ha! - Fujiwara.
Hey. Not in front of guests.
Sorry, sir.
Sit down.
It's a raid!
Shut up!
- Shut the fuck up! - Now!
All the laborers here are immigrants.
How come?
Arresting them doesn't serve as a lesson to others,
and deportation costs money.
Say, Toshi.
Do you want to surpass Ikezawa?
Yes.
Don't you have bigger fish to fry?
Oh. Do you know of insect collecting?
- "Insect collecting?" - Yes.
I collect butterflies, you see.
What are you talking about?
Once you see enough of them,
you can look at a pupa and tell how big they'll grow to become.
So,
I like to wait until each butterfly grows to its largest size
before I stash it away in my collection.
What the fuck are you talking about?
I don't get much credit unless the target is big, you see.
You guys won't get any bigger, so it's about time. Understand?
You're done.
Wait, damn you!
- Don't fuck with us! - Pipe down!
Bring it on!
Fuck you!
If you still have wings, go ahead and escape. Eh?
Fly away to the sky!
You're really going up in the sky?
Of course. We're going to fly over Pearl Harbor.
He's flying over Pearl Harbor in this.
Wait.
I thought you were filming in a grounded plane.
Not filming on ground?
That lacks intensity. We're doing something unprecedented.
There's no intensity in that.
He's trying to shoot something no one's ever seen before.
- Are you out of your mind? - Hold on.
Please stop him.
Our job is to do what he wants.
Allison.
-I don't think that you should-- -I'm fine.
I'll do it.
This is what I came here to film.
Okay.
She's game.
I knew you'd be, Allison.
He's happy to hear that.
You're going to use your feminine wiles to steal information.
- It's the climax. - You'll use your feminine wiles
to steal top secret information from the enemy.
It's the climax of the entire movie.
Okay. Let's do it.
Get ready for the last scene.
- Okay! - Okay!
It's an unprecedented "sky fuck"!
- Okay! - Okay!
I'm sure Mr. Muranishi is in the middle of a passionate shoot.
All thanks to you.
Are you sure about giving up your fee?
Of course.
I can't take the money when the video wasn't even sold.
Besides, I started working as a model,
so I shouldn't have trouble raising money to study in Italy.
Will you do other adult videos?
Well, it's your decision.
It's not my place to tell you otherwise.
I hope he has a successful shoot.
- I'm gonna bust. - No, baby.
- No, I can't. - You're the best I've ever had.
- Very sexy! - Oh, boy.
Beautiful!
- You're the best, baby. - Oh, yes.
You're the best.
Uh-huh. You're the best. Uh-huh.
You're radiant! Stunning! Absolutely stunning!
- Perfect! Fantastic! - Keep going. Okay. There you go.
- Great. - Look at me. Uh-huh.
- Don't stop. Don't stop for me. - Disk. Floppy.
- Not yet. Keep going. - Yes.
Gun. Gun.
Yes.
Yes, yes. Now shoot him.
Surprise.
Fire! Gun. Fire!
Cut!
Okay! Gorgeous!
- Yes! - Finally, we're finished!
Sir?
- What in the world are you doing? - Hey!
I did it!
-Cheers! -Cheers!
Junko.
Hey, Junko. Okole maluna!
Okole maluna!
-This video's going to turn out good. -It is.
Maybe this will be our big comeback.
You really saved us, Jimmy. Thanks!
Well... I was just doing my job.
I'm so glad. I'm grateful to you.
You got paid as promised.
Oh, good.
Well done.
All right, now I can finally give this guy
-a piece of my mind. -Please do.
-Cheers. -Cheers.
- Hello? - Mr. Muranishi.
What's the matter, Kuroki?
I'm sorry for calling so suddenly.
Mr. Kawada gave me your number.
Did the shoot go well?
Yes, it did.
I'm looking forward to showing it to you. I'm proud of it.
I can't wait.
Actually,
I wanted to talk to you about something...
What is it?
I met someone the other day...
Boss, Allison is leaving.
I see.
I'll call you back later.
Bye.
Sorry to interrupt your call.
I just wanted to bid you farewell.
She's sorry to interrupt your call, but she wanted to say goodbye.
It's fine. You're leaving already? You should stay and enjoy the party.
Oh, no. Thank you.
I just came to tell you that I learned a lot on this shoot.
She learned a lot on this shoot.
Really? That's great.
What exactly?
That's great, so what exactly?
First thing is, Japan's porn industry, it's still way behind.
What about Japan?
And I'm a professional,
so I saw it through to the end.
But honestly, this was the worst shoot I have ever been on.
Mm?
What's she saying?
You know what all that was?
Masturbation.
For you and you only.
No one else is gonna get off on that.
- Masturbation? - No?
Have a fun life jerking off.
Hey, Allison. Wait!
Mahalo, Allison.
Is everybody inside?
-Yes. -Good.
You promised you'd release them
- really quick-- - Enough!
You're done.
You understand?
You got exactly what you wanted. You got your Green Card.
Welcome to America.
Get out of here.
FBI! Don't move. Don't move.
FBI! Don't move.
Don't move!
- Hey! That hurts! - Get your hands off me!
Freeze! Don't move! Get on your knees!
On your knees!
Mr. Muranishi!
There are rumors of a 370-year sentence.
Three hundred and seventy years?
Any comments?
I could die four times and still be locked up.
THREE MONTHS LATER
