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.

It's really sick...which can never be a bad thing.

An absoloute mind f--k of a movie, brilliant direction by Takashi Miike and just a damn good film all round. Believe me, you won't have seen anything quite like it before.

I've heard that they have pretty bad customer service, so I'd rather pay the extra £3 from somewhere that I know as reliable :)

I think that you should still get BR:SE - it really is bloody superb. Get it. Now.

So what is the storyline? And has anyone heard of Suicide Circle? That film looks pretty disturbing...

Its one of my favorite films of all time.

Saw it near its Japanese release and have seen it many times since. I am a great fan of Fukasaku and was upset when he passed away.
Hopefully his brother can do Battle Royale 2 justice.

Who's directing the American remake?

I had plans of doing my own western version of it, until I found out Hollywood was already doing it, probably with Josh Hartnett.

Don't say that. I'll have nightmares for months.
