People Just Do Nothing: Big in Japan plot

The film picks up with the Kurupt FM boys after their pirate radio station has closed down, and at first, life seems much quieter.

But that all changes when they hear that one of their songs has somehow made it onto the soundtrack of a popular Japanese game show – and their music is therefore reaching an audience of millions.

Naturally, the boys assume this means superstardom must await and so they travel to Japan with manager Chabuddy G in tow, desperate to secure a record deal at any cost.

Of course, it won't be that easy – and it looks like there could be something of a culture clash in-store for Kurupt FM when they make the journey.
