Battle Royale

Director's Cut of the Japanese survival shocker.

Release date: Feb 15, 2012

1 Reader Comments / Reviews below: add yours!

The 2000 Japanese cult favourite hits DVD this month in a fully uncut version loaded with bonus material including documentaries, special effects comparisons, auditions and rehearsals, behind-the-scenes footage and much more.

For those yet to discover this controversial twist on Lord of the Flies, imagine Survivor with automatic weapons and machetes! In an anarchic future, the Japanese government has introduced the "Battle Royale Act" to keep order.

A class of unruly high school students are armed and abandoned on an island where they must eliminate each other until only one is left alive.

Although more a violent action-thriller, Battle Royale belongs on the shelf of every self respecting horror fan.

Pure comic book pulp.

STARRING: Tatsuya Fujiwara, Aki Maeda, Taro Yamamoto, Takeshi Kitano

AWESOME!!! If you love 15 year old Japanese school girls running around killing each other? Then this is the movie for you. "At the dawn of the millennium, the nation collapsed" Adults fed up & fearing the youth, government eventually passed the Millennium Educational Reform Act, AKA the BR Act..."BATTLE ROYALE" Set on a remote island students have three days to kill each other until just one student remains. If the students defy the rules or attempt to escape, they will be killed by the detonation of their collars. BOOM! That's Entertainment, Let the Games Begin...
