Super Terrific Japanese Thing: David Lee Roth, Half-Naked Hitman
Stop me if you’ve heard this one. An aging rock frontman walks into a Japanese bath house (I think that’s what it is, anyway), takes off all his clothes except a sumo diaper, then pulls out a gun…
There is no punchline. This is a short film that exists because David Lee Roth wrote and stars in it.

Can’t wait for the American remake with Sammy Hagar, and the direct-to-DVD sequel with Gary Cherone.
Seriously, Roth’s really hoping Tarantino sees this, right? Or is it a commercial for the oddly fetishized brand of strawberry milk at the end?
Watch after the jump and you decide.
