Ok so besides BR being a disturbing, yet "cool" movie, I got to thinking after the ending. (caution spoilers ahead! dont read on if you haven't seen the movie!) . . . . . . . . . . Ok so, I watched the begining of the movie again. And i'm thinking, "what in the hell?!?!" Cause wasn't that girl like...... shot by Mizuho? (or whatever that Psychotic girl's name was) I was a bit dumbfounded by that. I dont get how she's in the chopper at the end/begining? Do you? Oh and wasn't the "Exchange Student" cool? Sure he was a crazed killer and all but he had some "flair" to him.
And when he got shot up in the end he looked cool with the black stuff/blood trickling down his eyes. Damn, I gota see that movie again. God bless KAZAA for leting me download movies i cant get otherwise. Anyone know of any other movies made by the director/writer of BR? I'd sure like to see them.
Did he do the movie i've heard about called "Suicide Circle"? Wow that's a long post. So anyone who's seen BR care to discuss it?

Damn good movie, this. ;D But its been a while since I saw it, so I can't really help you with your questions...
I loved that it was high school students, because I could totally go "Oh, look at her, that'd be so-and-so!" and relate it to people I knew.

Yea. was a great film. Fortunatly, I live in the UK and we've got a Special Edition DVD out over here with Directors Commentaries in this cool tin, but being at Uni I cant afford it... Again, I saw it many many months ago and remeber little details but it was an excellent film. Suicide Circle is supposed to be a fantastic film, basically about a Cult that sweeps Japan which encourages mass suicide. I've not been able to get a copy but all reports say its very good. You can probably find it on eBay.
Actually, there is going to be a Battle Royale 2, I've heard little about it but it takes place after BR and involves some sort of rebellion from the kids.

The only way to see the film in the states is either by finding it to rent or buy from some obscure video place or asain import store. Or download it via the internet and KAZAA etc etc. A word from the wise tho Jen. It's NOT a movie for a "young" audience to be seeing aka your children. Japanese tend to cast apropriate age groups for movie roles and when most of the characters in BR are 9th graders..... they pick ninth grader aged actors
