    • It’s true, Hunger Games stole this plot
Battle Royal is gruesome, but in a cheesy, B-Movie way. The plot is pretty much identical to the hit Hunger Games franchise, where an out of control, tyrannical government kidnaps a bunch of kids, and spirits them off to a heavily monitored island with the instructions to kill, or be killed, until there is only one left. That’s pretty much all anyone needs to know about this one, other than that it doesn’t hold back on the gore at all. This movie is very bloody, but the gore effects are pretty cheap. However it’s similarities to Hunger Games are too numerous to ignore. It seems likely that the author of the Hunger Games was familiar with this story, and repurposed it for the West. If you like Hunger Games, you will probably like this as well. Though the gore intensifies an already deeply disturbing concept, and this film may not be for everyone. ... show more

    • This movie fits between Lord of the Flies and The Hunger Games
Thematically, the three movies deal with normal social order breaking down under different types of pressures. In LOTF, the catalyst was an air crash leaving prep school boys to fend for themselves on an island. Two camps emerged ... one responsible and one hedonistic. The clashes were inevitable. Prior normal rivalries, became exaggerated by a need to survive and a need to lead at all costs. Hunger Games' catalyst was from outside not within. The abnormal social dynamic was a created organized event in a dystopian society. The participants knew in advance what the challenges would be. There was no previous tight social group among the participants. That had to be created on the run literally. Since this was a fight to the death, any social connections made were temporary, loose, and designed for personal survial not any need for restoring a social order. Battle Royale preceded Hunger Games by 6 years. Unlike the other two movies based on books, BR was an original screenplay. Culturally, it had some slight differences due to the Japanese inherent focus on a social order based on uniformity and conformity. Oddly, BR is the most over the top of the three movies approaching a B class guilty pleasure movie. The classic social breakdown here is again from the outside. A law is passed which requires picking a specific class in a specific school to have a fight to the death in an unknown setting. But the catalytic breakdown itself is more like LOTF since there was an existing but seriously dysfunctional social order within the class. Not surprising. The BR law was the result of Japanese society rejecting growing violence among their young. BR moves fast and the confrontations are more graphic. However, it has the feel of an anime' film in the level of stereotypical characters and the style of action. I enjoyed this film not as a classic statement on anarchic societies but as a guilty pleasure movie. If you want a more serious film, watch LOTF, the original not the disappointing remake. I found the Hunger Games the Twilight version of social breakdown movies. Well crafted but just nothing that feels compelling for me to watch with interest. Too syrupy. I'd recommend BR not that it is a great movie in the artiste sense but as that better than average action movie with some irony and more interesting characters albeit barely developed characters since the kills come fast. It is noted that this is a top ten film in Japan and received great notoriety there when it opened. While social conformity is important the idea of middle schoolers being chosen to kill each other off to somehow reduce violence levels among the worst school kids is particulalry offensive to their culture. I find that view a bit dated. In reality, their biggest problem is not enough younger people in a very aging population. More young not less is a goal. But so is a wish to retain the traditional respect for order, appreciation of their culture, education, and respect for elders. Possibly the shock was not so much about violent young as it was dealing with conflicting generational views between yound and old. ... show more

    • Great Box Set
Review Image by Yadira Trujano
Definitely should pick this up since the 4K set of Battle Royale is out of print, the price on here is similar to retail and the discs are region free.

    • Strange But Good
This was a very interesting movie and a very good one. 42 students put on an island and must kill each other until only one survives. Japanese movie with English subtitles.

    • My Luck, I'd Get the Stupid Pot Lid!!!
Let me be blunt: this is not considered an "intellectual" film. Nonetheless, this is one of the most riveting films I have seen in ages. As you know, this film has been banned in multiple countries and is not well-appreciated in its own. It breaks some pretty serious taboos . . . namely, young fresh-faced children hacking each other to bits:) Of course, the idea that the government has locked exploding collars around their tender necks is a horrific bonus!! Takeshi Kitano is FANTASTIC as the school teacher with an innocent yet disturbing crush on one of his pupils and an obsession with her baked goods (Ohhh, and wait until you see his painting!!) Likewise, the characters of Shuya and Noriko are spectacular in their roles. They bring likability to what should be an "unlikeable" film. Nonetheless, Kazuo Kiriyama and Mitsuko Souma easily steal the show! Kazuo volunteers to be in this massacre (apparently for the thrill)!! He has the looks of Johnny Depp matched with the endurance of Jason Vorhees (forgive the comparison!!) Meanwhile, Mitsuko presents us with the most complex character in the film: as a victim of (potential) sexual abuse and an uncaring mother, Mitsuko has learned not to trust anyone. Moreover, she has learned to use her sexuality to get through life (it's interesting to see how this aspect figures into combat). What may surprise you is how FUNNY (intentionally) this film is!!! The training video alone will have you in stitches (The adorable host makes exploding heads sound like a Saturday morning cartoon "BOOM!")!! TRUST ME - FUNNY STUFF!!! To be perfectly honest, I dread the American remake (slated for 2008 by NEW LINE). Part of the appeal is that this film is verboten!! NEW LINE, I am quite certain, will be content will an "R" rating for theaters . . . and that will be a shame. Additionally, the Japanese version has insanely BAD and AWKWARD translation which only heightens its amusing qualities. No, Battle Royale doesn't have the INSANE gore of Ichi the Killer, but it is faster-paced, has a simpler story-line, and in a way, is more shocking. You'll either love it or hate it . . . me, I LOVE IT!!! I show it to my students EVERY semester!!! This film receives FIVE stars for its innovative, no-holds-barred approach!!
