Fantastic.
I got round to watching this last night and its brilliant. Great concept, Gripping. I loved every minute of it. If I had the money i'd go out and buy it right now.
It's not just about all the killings aswell - Its got a moral behind it all. Which is cool. Superb acting! Arg I love this film so much.
The fact that its all in japanese is'nt offputting either (which I thought it would be) the subtitles are apt enough to read off.
Anyway - Whens the sequel out?

Favourite bit in BR?
When the main guy and the other dude struggle and fall to the floor - the other dude has an axe stuck in his head, to which the main guy asks, "Are you alright?"
Classic scene.
That or the fat guy at the beginning getting wasted.

I am the biggest BR fan in the world. Ever. I have both editions of BR and I'm getting all the Manga next week. I'll be first in line to see BR2.
I also thought it sucked that none of the collars were set off by the danger zones, but from all the spoilers I've read, it sounds like it won't disappoint.
What was your favourite bit in BR?
Mine is Mimura hacking the BR systems and getting so close to victory, before Kiriyama (see my name :D) enters and kills them, not before Mimura detonates the explosives, severely injuring Kiriyama.
It's my favourite film. Ever.

I was bored at work today and read reviews and spoilers to BR2 so I know pretty much the twists and sho lives and dies. But when it's released over here in March 2004, i'll hopefully have forgotten.
I saw the interview with the directors of BR on "Adam and Joe go Tokyo" and that had a lil BR2 trailer.
One thing that I thought was dissapointing in the film was the fact that no-one was in a "danger zone" and their necklaces never exploded. (Except at the start where the teacher detonates Nobu's neck brace).
Still the MTV style "upbeat" training video was funny - They made it sound like it was just a gameshow and nothing much.
*Buys DVD*

Two weeks ago, it got a great response from critics, I'm looking forward to it.
Ichi the Killer is another great ;)

Strangely, I was gonna start a topic about this/Battle Royale 2 today.
YOU READ/STOLE MY MIND FREAK.
I haven't actually seen either of them, and I was gonna ask if it was worth buying.
I guess I know the answer now.

Yeah - I was doing the regular channel surfing thing last night..Flicked onto LivingTV to see if there was anything Erotic on. But there was'nt so just by chance I changed the channel to see that Battle Royale had started.
Good film. Gonna get the special edition DVD methinks.

Got it on DVD, it is, indeed, a great film. Not so sure about the sequel...
