Batoru rowaiaru (Battle Royal)

[Trizzak]

I just saw this pretty disturbing movie. It was about japenese highschool students forced to kill each other.

Anyone seen it? Maybe I'll change my mind later, but this movie seems to have crossed a line for me.

[Parabola7001]

i want to see it. Im waiting for a America release

[Trizzak]

After some time to reflect on it, I was a bit disturbed on how quickly these teens resorted to killing each other. Mainly cause they were portrayed as scared animals that would kill to save themselves.

And yet, the best part in the movie for me was the complete Final Fantasy rip off character that wanted to kill people. And did so in a completely brutal fashion.

[Parabola7001]

anyone know of a US release

[Trizzak]

we're the only ones who seem to read this thread, so if by "anyone" you are referring to me...no I haven't heard of a US release

[Parabola7001]

i guess i am. cause your right. we are thye only two in this thread

[Parabola7001]

do you know anywhere i can buy it or see it?

[Trizzak]

well obviously somebody in Canada managed to buy it, but I'm guessing they did it online.

[Trizzak]

I've decided this is just going to be our thread until somebody else posts here.

How are things?

[Parabola7001]

pretty good. don't have school tomorrow. how are you?

[The Judas Cow]

I've seen it, I have some friends who are into this kooky shit, I'm not sure where she got it from, but yeah, it was pretty fucked up.

[Jonesy]

I want to see it :frown:

[bigisy]

[Pudie]

It was the decapitated head with the grenade in it that made me think "What the hell am I doing still watching this?"

[Parabola7001]

i want to see it bad!!!

[Pudie]

buy it on ebay. Its like $10

[Parabola7001]

does it work onUS DVD players

[Pudie]

Yea. Its NTSC Region 0(region free pretty much)

[dos]

anyone know of a US release
The creator won't allow a US release. Rental or otherwise. So, like everyone else was saying, check eBay or Amazon for a Region 0 disc.

[mud_]

i have a copy that i obtained through ... a friend...
i actually liked most of it, it did seem a bit "thin" as though ...i dont know, the characters werent well developed or something.

decapitated head with a grenade?

anyway, the question is:

what would YOU do to survive?

[Pudie]

Id kill. Fuck it. Im sorry , but I would. I hated most of the fuckers at school anyways.

[dionysusolympus]

The Lord of the Flies was the same thing, but in American terms with a little bit of washout (in the movie more than the book).

[Pudie]

fun fact : the girl in that movie with the dool is Go-Go from Kill Bill.

Cool...Go-Go was awesome in Kill Bill... :homer:

[Mufumonk]

One of the most disturbing movies I have ever seen.

[bigisy]

[mud_]

[Mufumonk]

It's ok. It has a pro terroist message and was obviously 9/11 inspired. Not nearly as good as the first.


There isn't any animated ones but it was based on a magna series which was based on a novel.

[beatrix]

1 and 2 were both equally good imo........

I dunno if I'd WANT to see this... but I did see Kids, and that was pretty interesting :hmm:

[waylander]

My girl's got mad flavor yo!

[Tzarina]

[Agent]

[Trizzak]

if by "interesting" you mean "Larry Clark loves shock value" then yes, it was interesting.

[Pudie]

Larry Clark is awesome!

[Agent]

do tell why
i like them asian girls but besides that, i like the violence, i like the story behind it, you wanna fuck around and misbehave then bitches strap up and get it on.

i don't like the fact that them chink motherfuckers were close to each other and couldnt kill each other. the one sonic looking motherfucker with the uzi and what not every time he shot the gun would go all over the place. and them otehr fucks were right in front of him and they never died. about the only thing i didnt like.

they should have showed them little girls in panties and shit.

[Pudie]

I made a game design document for school based on Battle Royal.

[sneakypete]

i liked the movie. Specially the scene where they first understand what is going to happen and learn about the collars.....shit was crazy.

If you like movies like this, try 'ultimate versus'. It has more comic relief but it REAL TIGHT!
