An amazing film with such originality; hollywood too afraid to tackle.
The best Japanese Movie ever my favorite character ever in the film is Mitsuko Souma ^^
Hey wassup people. I gotta say big up to the whole people behind this movie i love it!! Was this a controversial film in Japan any Japanese readin' this? & Is the 2nd any better? Comment back...
Yes, they have most definetly taken the rights to remake this. From what i have heared Battle Royale is a very good movie, but it's a common thing now Japan release something original and America snatch it and remake it. Most of American remakes turn out to be alot of rubbish.
Apparently New Line Cinema has snatched up the rights to make an American version of BR.(Here for more details: http://www.joblo.com/index.php?id=11650)Thoughts? I think this is probably one of the more idiotic things Hollywood has done. Why mess with a classic?
Mental ! And I'm not just talking about Beat Takeshi's acting either ! The man himself is up to his usual high standard when it comes to playing mentally deranged individuals. As for the schoolkids.... The death by poison spaghetti is a piece of comedy genuis. I'm sure at some point in the near future the great vampire Hollywood will make a totally lame re-make of this classic but even that won't spoil my enjoyment of this classic Japanese craziness !
i watched this one night coz it came on the tv nd frankly i culdn't be assed to find the remote but i actually i quite enjoyed it.......very dark. good movie
I saw Battle Royale recently about a month or so ago and I liked it. Which do you prefer 1 or 2? I actually liked the first one better it was more shallow lol. I actually put my pic over Chiaki Kuriyama's character pic and put it on lmy page...yeah dork. lol.
I had to watch this on YouTube because the film is not available in the U.S. (unless you spend $30+ to get an imported copy. And I happen to be low on cash). It's pretty good for what it is. Granted, it's more of an action movie than a balance of action and drama (the novel truly got the balance just right on it). Nevertheless, it's a good watch and a recommended one at that.
I felt bad when Takako Chigusa(Chiaki Kuriyama) died. Hell, I felt bad when quite a few of them died. Great movie though!
If this happened I'd wait and run around and if I'm lucky and I get a gun and theres one left i'd sneek up and blow his or her brains everywhere EVEN IF IT'S ANY OF MY FRIENDS! as long as I live I know I'm selfish well thats just me that or killing myself or protecting Noriko! if there is a sorta Noriko based person that i protect NAW! i take that back SCREW NORIKO or whoever I'd kill that person too as long as i live or I'll just kill myself!
Can't get over this film.Amazing,by far my favourate ive ever seen.Anyone think the sequel is worth buying?
Could you kill your best friend? —asiantribe
Could I? Yes
Would I? Maybe. To save my own life, I'd really consider it.
