開けんかいコラ! Aggressive Japanese listening practice.

This short funny video has a good example of aggressive Japanese being used.

The context is a police raid on a yakuza office in Osaka (the newsreader uses the term 暴力団 or violent group). The officers are very blunt in their request to enter the building:

「はよ開けんかい!!」

The man inside is intimidated and complies:

「ちょっと待ってって今開けるから!」

The police are still not happy about this though:

「やかましいはよ開けぇ!! 出てこいゴラァ!!」

The Osaka dialect has a rough reputation in Japan which is partly the reason why this video became notorious. Adding コラ with a rolled R (巻き舌) is common in threatening language.
