mechcit

Has anyone seen Battle Royale (Japanese movie).

I love that movie and can't find it anywhere (DVD or download).

If you've seen it, whats your opinion?

Thanks I'll check it out.

Was going to watch the second one, but maybe not anymore.

Same situation as the sequal to Donnie Darko, S.Darko (which was pure sh**e)

I must be the only person on this planet that did not like that film.

OP, saw it in Laser on the St Andrews street. If memory serves it is distributed by a company called Tartan films.

A brilliant film. The shot with the picture at the very end is excellent. It couldn't have been done better. In fact I might dig up the DVD and watch it tonight.

It is not for the squeamish or the politically-correct, I'll say. There's a scene near the start in which the kids are shown, in no uncertain terms, that it's not a game. :eek:

yeah brilliant film, sequel is indeed ****e

The manga is good too.

I am there with you, been a while since i saw it but remember being let down, thought it was ok but was totally over hyped to me I think.

amazing film, the sequel was a let down for me

Love this film. So so good. No need for a sequel to it though.

My favourite part is

the girl who gets shot on the mountainside with the megaphone so that everyone can hear her in pain. Sick but oh so great.

Excellent film but the sequel was one of the worst movies i have ever seen.

Yeah, avoid it at all costs. I couldn't even finish watching it.

The first is an absolute masterpiece of course, made all the better by featuring Takeshi Kitano.

+1, has to be seen to be believed. There must have been uproar when it was first released as there are some shocking political ideas expressed in it.

its nowhere near one of the worst fims ive ever seen though

Thankfully, I also have Brother saved on my skybox
It's one of my favourite movies.

Why does that not surprise me? I'll just completely avoid it and pretend it doesn't happen. Problem solved!

Check out "Oldboy". http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0364569/ If your into asian film this in my opinion is the best there is!
