Yeah this is only one of my favorite movies ever.
Gotta love when Nobus neck explodes.

I even managed to get the song that plays at the end of the movie, you would have no idea how long it took me to find it (It wasn't on the soundtrack)
But overall, I love this movie.

And a question that always got to me.
What would you do in a situation like that?

And what are your thoughts on this movie?

I LOVE Battle Royal! I wish stuff like that happened in real life. That was actually the movie that got me intrested in foreign films.

What's your weapon of choice?

Yeah right, if it were real, then I'd be on the island or whetever, I'm a young one!

But I'd want brass knuckles or a knife like Billy has on Predator.

Same here, man! You have to admit, it'd be kinda fun at first. Until you get electricuted with a cattle prod. Eeek.

With my luck, I'd end up with a plunger or a butter knife.

I'd probably end up with a whoopie cushion and the first person who see's me would have a rocket launcher lol

Battle Royale is a great film unlike the sequal which sucked big time

i love this film, i have been reading the BR manga lately(its pretty messed up). BR 2 is sentimental japenese crap with to many plot holes and not enough characer devlopment.

for those of you who study the BR characters, what classmate are you?

i have decided on boy#10 ryuhei sasagawa.

Well, I think you have no choice but to order it online on Amazon or something.
I heard it was banned here in the US, and me and my brother can never find it anywhere.

Hahaha, that would totally suck.
A whoopie cushion would be a strange yet horrible weapon to get.

The sequel looked stupid, doesn't every student get a gun?

Hooray for the SEARCH option!

I finally saw the movie, and although you don't feel as sorry for the kids as you do with the book, it was blast. I'm still not sure whether I like the idea of Shogo and Kazuo being "transfers" or having them already be in the class is better.

I bought it in a two-pack with BRII, and although the first half may rank among the annals of craptacular film history, I thought the second half (basically being one giant fight) was okay. The ending was kinda......I mean, they went out all Butch Cassidy and Sundance Kid but they made it? Anyways, with an iffy ending like BRII had, the only way they can rectify that is to make BRIII and have this crazy civil war occupy the entire film.

Oh and why did the instructor for the seocind movie have a neck-thingie on? By choice?
