Battle Royale!!!!
 

Anyone seen this movie?? Its about a 7th grade class that gets dumped on an island and is forced to fight to the death. Only 1 student is allowed to live and they are all givin random weapons to kill eachother.

Its really hardcore and i enjoyed the shit out of it. Anyone else love this movie???


Spoiler:



My favorite scene was when the crazy evil guy kills that evil girl by shooting here like 7 times as the soundtrack switches to Bach's "air on a G string" fuckin classic. Had to rewind that shit LOL

I still have not seen this god damn movie. It plagues me. I will never find a place to rent this.

lol i heard it was banned in the states that may be why. You should try downloading it thats how i found it. Alot of people have it on filesharing networks.

good news I guess...
 

Yeah, the movie rocks....my video store has it...I have some good news for fans of the movie, there's a sequel....here's some info
go to http://www.tjfweb.com/br2/ have a look.

I love Battle Royale. It's such a trip... it didn't seem incredibly inventive but a great ride.

Did you know that Chiyaki Kuriyama from Battle Royale was in Kill Bill, as O-Ren's psycho bodyguard? She stole that film IMHO.

It may be hard to find a rental but the VCD should be pretty easy to obtain. Poker Industries has it for $9 here.

thx for the info cheeba

damn I missed another one..WTF is wrong with me Im missing out on everything here lately...Damn it damnit all to hell

I have never heard of this! why was it banned in the u.s.? must be pretty good!!

You mean Go-Go? Oh man, what a cutie.

And I don't think it's banned here is it?

i havent heard anyhting bad about this film yet. do any stores carry it like best buy?

OMG! where have i been. I haven't seen this movie. Ok, you're not bashing it so im gonna rent it.

I HEARD it was banned in the states but it was a somewhat questionable source so im not sure. It was played at the alamodrafthouse here in austin but they play shit thats banned here ALL the time, especially on wierdwednesday, so that doesnt help us.

Just check it out guys you WONT be sorry.

it is never going to be released in the US. However, it doesn't mean u cant get it. I got the 2-disc s.e. dvd (2nd disc is all in Japanese) for $25. You cannot get it at Best Buy. You can go on ebay and get some bootleg copies or VCDs. Either way. I thought it was worth the $25. It is brutal.

Reason why US wont distro it, is due to the Columbine incident. US has gotten very touchy nowadays with kids killing kids. (ie. Elephant) But whats even funnier is that the media thrives on showing exclusive footage of the kids doing target practice.

it took me 2 months to get it on DVD, I orderred it, normally I would have got it after 3 days, but 2 months

and...it was worth it
I love it
it's typicial japanese, espacially the ending

if you liked this one you should check out Ichi the killer to

Great! I saw it in an arty theater in Brooklyn a year or so ago. I don't know if it was ever banned but I know it was controversial when it came out in Japan. It is based on a novel.

can u please tell me where you ordered it from?

lol, a store in belgium had it on an order list, so if you live in belgium, then I can give you the store yeah, otherwise you're fucked lol

I also love "Battle Royale".
In Germany, the distributor "Kinowelt Home Entertainment" only released a cut version (about 12 minutes!!). In this version, the movie isn't worth watching. You don't understand many things because you don't get some important informations.

I ordered the DVD from "Tartan UK" (got it from bensonsworld.co.uk) and I really found out, what an fantastic movie "Battle Royale" is. It has a very intelligent story and the young actors play quite well.

finazlly someone who sees further then the sickness of this movie
this one is set in the future, but withou high tech shit, the story rules, the movie to

think Im gonna watch it tonight

just noticed a few more posts in here since I was last in, anyone who didnt read my last post...just thought u might wanna know that there's a sequel to BR....there's quiet a bit of info here

i keep trying to get this film.......i got a downloaded version of it like 2 weeks ago......i tried to play it and the quality was so shitty i had to turn it off....welll i went to Arioch's to get him to burn it for me (he has id downloaded) and it didnt work......His brother is way to lazy to burn it for me so i think it is a sign.....i was never meant to watch this great film........i know it is good and i have heard alot of awesome things about it .....WHY GOD WHY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I saw it again 2 days ago, fucking awesome, it still amazes me

Battle Royale
 

It is not really a horror but I have just bought Battle Royale and it is fucking great movie dunno if you guys have seen it and like it but I thought it was bloody brilliant

ya i made a thread on this a couple months ago when i downloaded it. How did you buy it man i cant find it anywhere. It really is a kickass movie.

They are making a sequel now if you didnt already know.

HMV and Virgin are both selling it

this movie rules
I had to wait over 3 months from the time I orderred it till the time I got it, but it was worth it

they sold it at this store but it costed 30 euros, the place I orderred it from was only 9 euros, so.....

Yep....it was some kinda cool movie....
I've posted this on another "thread", but here ya go anyway, sequel info @ http://www.tjfweb.com/br2/

Great Movie. They have a specil edition of the movie available on 2-disc region 0 dvd. Pretty good!

Ya'll lips are moving but all I hear is BLAH, BLAH, BLAH.

Battle Royale
 

Anybody seen the Japanese film Battle Royale???

S'a fuckin brilliant film. Lots of deaths. Probably the most original script in a long long while.

Think its by the maker of 'Audition' which is another must seen. Made me cringe.

Latas.....p x

I have seen this film, it is good. The idea for the film was very inventive..... get rid of the naughty kids, let them kill each other and no one has to be responsible for them anymore.

Battle royale II looks good as well.

Think if i was on that damn island i'd be the unlucky bastard who'd get to fight with the bloody fryin pan.

Latas...preacher

lol, yeah I'd end up getting a kids foam football or something stupid like that.


I've heard BRII is a complete letdown on the first one, many here will agree.

me no heard of it

Re: Battle Royale
 

1) battle royale is a kickass film
2) battle royale 2 is a disappointment compared to the first
3) takashi miike has nothing to do with these films, the director is kinji fukasaku who did a few sonny chiba movies

Watching "Battle Royale" now. So far I'm enjoying it much. Love the running death count.Very original and sad to say, they way society is heading,.......not too far fetched.

I saw the trailer of this film. It looks really good but I can't find it anywhere!! :( :(
