It came! It finally came! After reading countless reviews, I just had to get this DVD, despite owning the original (as this special edition does somewhat alter the meaning of the film). So, here's what you get for the £23.99 price:

Deluxe Presentation
Collector's Card
Film Frame Card
4 page booklet
Special Edition of the film featuring additional footage & alternate ending
Scene selection
The Making Of
Takeshi Kitano Interview
Battle Royale Press conference
Original Theatrical Trailer
Star / Director filmographies
Production Notes
Director Interview
Asia Extreme trailer reel

Some really great stuff on these 2 discs (I've seen an hour of the extras so far) and I'm proud to say that I own one of something like 10,000 limited edition film frames. And I got a decent one of Kawada :D

Buy it. Now.

All the extras ammounted to just over 2 hours and so does the film, so that's four hours of footage. I'm up to the scene where Kiriyama decapitates Oda and lobs his grenade-ridden head through a window :D

Masanobu Ando rocks. And needs to return for the sequel in some way or another :)

CDWow have it for £19.99

I downloaded it the other day but my PC has decided to be too damned slow so I guess I'll have to buy it.
Roll on pay day!

Yeah, but I hate CDWow. They're like the other side of the world.

It rocked. I just finished watching it about half an hour ago.

Get it. Now. And the normal version.

While we're on the subject of Asian films, has anybody seen 'Ichi the Killer'?

All I can say is WOW. Everyone should see this film, go on, you owe it yourselves.

I bought Battle Royale without realising the one in the tin had loads of extras, I just thought they were trying to rip me off. It was only a tenner more (£30) but I thought "No"

Now the one I bought is £13 and the tin one is cheaper too. I want it, but I can't buy it! It's bad enough I have a load of DVDs that I already had on video! Must... stop... myself...
