What is Sumotherhood about?
Sumotherhood has been described as an action-comedy and parody. The synopsis of the film goes thus: “In this parody of the UK urban genre Riko and Kane have got it all … big dreams, no respect and a fifteen grand debt. Could things get any worse?”
The description continues, “Yes! So, it’s time to man up and finally be taken serious as “Roadmen”. Once putting their heads together on various ways to make some money, they decide to rob a megastar in a nightclub toilet and hold up the local bank but things inevitably don’t go to plan!!”
What happens next? The synopsis further informs that a misunderstanding leads the two to be “acquired for business with one of East London’s toughest firms”, also putting them at risk with rivals.
“Can Riko and Kane live up to their name? Will Riko win the affection of Tamara and if he does, will Tyrese, Tamara’s lunatic stepbrother, allow Riko to live? Will his life be worth living if the local London Feds draw a line back to our duo? Anything can happen when Riko and Kane are on the scene in this new action-packed urban comedy.”
