Detective Bureau 2-3: Go to Hell Bastards! is a 1963 film from Japan directed by Seijun Suzuki.Two rival yakuza gangs are smuggling guns out of an American army base when they are waylaid by a third gang. A big shootout ensues with the third gang getting away with the truck full of guns, but one of their member, a gangster named Koichi, being arrested.Both of the two rival gangs, the Sakura and Otsuki, decide to kill Koichi before he can turn informant. Captain Kumagai of the police is approached by a private detective named Tajima (Jo Shishido, Japanese action movie star) with a proposal. If the police try and free Koichi in the regular way he'll certainly be killed, and in fact the rival gangs are quite obviously waiting outside police headquarters to kill him. But if Kumagai will let Tajima take Koichi away by himself, he'll return Koichi to his gang, infiltrate said gang, and take them all down.Capt. Kumagai agrees, apparently because Tajima is just better than any of his men and also because all of his men are known to the yakuza. So Tajima is given a fake ID under the name of convict "Ichiro Tanaka", and he delivers Koichi to the third gang and asks for a job. They agree, but gang leader Hatano still doesn't trust him. There's also the complicating factor of Hatano's moll Chiaki, who falls for "Tanaka".

Every Car Is a Pinto: The two gangs have stopped to load up guns when the Hatano gang come barreling through in a hijacked Pepsi truck, guns blazing. One gang's car catches some bullets and bursts into flame, and the burning car forms a background for the opening credits.

Spiteful Spit: After Tajima sneaks Koichi out of the trap, Koichi spits in Tajima's face because he assumes that Tajima is there to kill him. Tajima takes it in good humor, because he needs to bring Koichi back to the Hatano gang alive.

Glasses Pull: Tajima brings Koichi back to the Hatano gang, only for Hatano himself to club Tajima on the back of the head with a gun. When Koichi asks why, Hatano pulls his sunglasses off, apparently only to look badass.

Confessional: Tajima's cover story has his father being a Catholic priest. This enables him to go to the church, with Hatano tagging along, and meet Capt. Kumagai in the confessional booth to pass on info. (It backfires when Hatano's gang snaps a photo of Kumagai in his priest's robes and ID him as a cop, revealing that "Tanaka" is a spy.)

Why Don't You Just Shoot Him?
 Detective Bureau 2-3: Go to Hell Bastards! / int_bce16d24
comment
Why Don't You Just Shoot Him?: Well, sure, Hatano could just shoot Tajima, sure. But instead, why not just trap him in the garage's basement, dump a bunch of fuel oil, and then light it, so Tajima and Chiaki die slowly of smoke inhalation? Naturally, Tajima escapes by managing to shoot a hole in the ceiling above and throw his tape recorder out on the street to alert the cops. (This is even dumber because as he's setting the light Hatano exposes himself to Tajima, who shoots and kills him.)
