Amazing film, even thought the book is actually better. Bunch of kids trapped on an island and have to kill each other until there is only one left - great entertainment!
Watch the film before you read the book. Probably the best film ever made and i swear if the USA try and rip it off into some trashy shit like they always do (think The Ring, Grudge, etc)i will seriously get pissed off.

(1) A professional wrestling match in which many wrestlers are in the ring at the same time, someone gets elliminated when they are thrown over the top rope.
(2) A freaky ass Novel turned Manga turned Movie in which society is breaking down, so the government decides to enact the "Battle Royale Act" (BR for short). This gives them the power to send high school students to an island, give them all weapons, and force them to kill eachother. (Go read the book NOW, or dl the movie from Kazaa)
(3) Said law in the fictional time of the novel

(2) After i saw Battle Royale, i locked myself in my room and cried.
(3) The Battle Royale act sucked.

n) a movie in which in one of the last scenes, while the last survivors are on a boat, one of their friends dies from bullet wounds, and as he lays dieing, making a lovely speech, he gets a hard-one, a zinger, a boner, and you can see it through his jeans as he lays there, go ahead! Watch it again! ITS THERE!

A book that's about 42 kids going to an island where they are have to kill eachother becase a law. This book was turned into a manga and a movie.(Both are good)
Themanga shows more gore.
The movie lease out all the backstories.

The Film was highly controversial, the book was highly controversial...Fuck it! Everything about it was controversial. Koushun Takami wrote the novel and it immediately became a cult classic. The book gives a much deeper isight into each of the characters and unfortunately the film turns the whole story into a shacky violence crazed story. My advice: Read the book, Screw the movie
42 students, 1 island, an assortment of weapons and if after 3 days they dont kill each other until 1 is left...They all die.

The term "Battle Royale" is often misused. The real definition is an intense battle between 2 men, named Roy and Al. If 2 people engage in an intense battle, and they happened to be named Roy and Al. If you see this, you are truly blessed and should be appreciative that you get to see a true Battle Royale.
*And the "e" is thrown on at the end just for fancy sauce.
*And the "e" is thrown on at the end just for fancy sauce.
Person 1: Hey, Roy and Al are fighting!
Person 2: Holy balls! Battle Royale!...a real one! This has been my lifelong goal, and finally, it is happening.

Heres an improved definition.
A Japanese movie. This movie is about, basically, a government plan to reduce poverty levels by getting rid of the one thing that keeps them down, the youth of the nation. The thing is, the government passed a law called the BR act. In it, a class of 9th grade students is put on a completely deserted island with explosive collars on. If they try to take it off, it explodes. If they are in a danger zone, it explodes and any of the people who run the contest can detonate it using a remote, too. If there is more than one survivor by the end of the 3 days, all of the collars explode. Each student is given a pack with food, water, a map, a flashlight and most importantly, a weapon. SOme get cool weapons (guns), some get average weapons (sharp objects), while others get completely screwed (Nannahara's pot-lid, for example). In the movie, the class that is chosen is also given 2 new transfer students. One of the transer students (Kawada Shugo) is experienced and knows a way out. The other transfer student (Kiriyama Kazuo) is psychotic and crazy. This movie, in my opinion, is great and should be watched by everyone. It is good in every categorie (except for family friendlieness, but who looks for that?) and pretty entertaining while at the same time thought provoking! Another interesting note is that it was based off a novel and also has a manga.

I'm American but I'm not some wapanese, I liked Battle Royale alot for what it was, not just because it was Japanese.
Fav part? Probably when Kitano shot his cell phone. Best hang-up EVER! BR 2 isn't that good but it's okay.
