Battle Royale film

[solid_L]

There was a japanese sub title film on channel four about 11pm last nite - battle royale

ace film I thought, although I only managed to see half of it...

Anyone else manage to see it?

[wheresmyplacebo]

great film loved every minute of it, especially the psycho japanese lady on video, very errr TRUE!

and mitsuko who sleeps with the guys and hacks their necks off, but she was quite fit as well :p

good ending bit expected but ah well great action

[Demon Buttercup]

oooh great film, i've seen it hundreds of times. nearly. the sequal comes out next month. rejoice!

[panda eyes]

They should do it for real.
the worst class in britain,
once a year, isle of white
'BATTLE ROYALE uk'

might make some chavs
calm down a bit.

:D

I saw it ages ago and was pissed when i missed the first half last night! Apparently there's a manga version of it too. Can't wait to see the sequel!

The crazy kid in the black suit is the best character!

Ah the wonders of the edit button :D

If there was a battle royal in the u.k, would you sign up? I sure as hell would!

[panda eyes]

the manga version is a graphic novel, and it is sweet.
More like the br special edition, extra blood etc

[Renzo]

I watched it on a plane to America over a year ago. Good film. Borrowed it off a mate recently but i didnt get round to watching it :(

[Mr_Wobble]

Yeah, saw it last night on C4 for the first time. I'll bet they edited out a few scenes though.
I thought it was overhyped, and apart from the gory ending of some of them it was a bit too unfeasible, and unbelievable, to really grip me. It was still good though, but not great.

Is it just me, or was there something slightly erotic about cute Japanese school girls going on an orgy of violence and bloodlust? :nervous: I think this is what Manga and Anime relies on for part of its appeal, and Battle Royale is just a live action cartoon Manga style film.

Just remembered, there's a few cute Japanese girls living almost opposite me. One of them briefly smiled at me the other day while I was outside working on my car. Should I be scared now? :D

[Lemur]

heh, i saw it a while back on my mates very very pirated dvd, thought it was brilliant :D

[RiSe & ShIne]

Quality film. Seen it ages ago and it never gets old.

Heh, I downloaded the sequel, but it had no subtitles. I was stoned so I watched it anyway. That was one of the craziest experiences of my life.

[sniper666]

I saw it, I've got it on VHS as well so I've seen it loads of times. BR 2 is released this Friday (14th May).

[solid_L]

I never saw the end because I got tired and went to sleep, didn't know everyone had seen it. I think I might try and watch it all some time

Wonder if its on again soon...:confused:

[Demon Buttercup]

ooh someone else whos seen the manga? the manga is based on the book rather than the film but is still cool. a bit too gross though :p

Provided there were loads of townies also in the battle royale, i'd sign up for fun and go Kiriyama style on them all MUAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!

I like the sound of that :D Would be so much more fun *Twitches* We have to have a Battle Royale!!!!!!! :crazyeyes

[The Doc]

Quality film. I was too squemish to watch the bit where jogging/cycling girl took a knife to the pervy guy's crotch.

However, the week after we watched the film, my friend got a bit obssessive, and started thinking which characters we would be if we were in the movie, and also what would happen if my year was put in a similar situation. It got quite scary to think the film has that great an impact on people. Just another thing that makes the film good.

[Tim the Enchanter]

I only saw it recently for the first time but watched it all again on Monday, it's that good!

The part with Kitano was excellent though! Maybe not entirely unexpected, but still funny!

[solid_L]

does anyone know where I can download it from (with subtitles plz!) on the internet?

[lisa simpson's saxophone]

Can someone please explain what this film's about? It sounds intriguing.

[sniper666]

The youth in Japan are out of control, unemployment is sky high and society is falling apart, it is all blamed on the youth. Once a year, the govt. selects a random class to go to an island to fight to the death, and the survivor gets to go home.

That's basically the storyline.

[PRETTYgreenEYES]

i saw it a while ago, one sick film! still quite funny though

[Jowolvo]

I loved the film, I saw a short abhout it on some trashy but good show on FTN awhile ago and have really looked forward to it. Missed about 15 min at the start but soon caught up.

Battle royale 2-same director?

[Jim V]

The same director for most of the film then Fukasaku died and his son completed it.
