Title: Battle Royale Post by: STFC Village on Wednesday, August 2, 2006, 23:53:21 No, not another wrestling thread, but a Japanese film that i watched t'other night. Quite gory, and difficult to watch in places, but really good. Ace twist at the end. Also, starring Gogo from Kill Bill Part 1 :P
"Ninth grade students are taken to a small isolated island with a map, food and various arms. They have to fight each other three days long until the last one remains and are forced to wear a special collar which will explode when they break a rule." http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0266308/ .......Really getting into Japanese cinema these days....anything anyone would like to recommend? Title: Battle Royale Post by: Devon Red on Thursday, August 3, 2006, 00:51:31 Not a huge fan of the chinese/japanese films (especially the manga stuff) but battle royale is a quality film.
Title: Battle Royale Post by: Forza_Swindon on Thursday, August 3, 2006, 07:49:15 I wasn't to keen on the sound of it when a mate described it to me, but I watched it anyway and thought it was really good.....
Anyone seen the sequel? Title: Battle Royale Post by: hansgruber on Thursday, August 3, 2006, 08:01:06 Battle Royale is one of my favourite films of all time. Battle Royale 2 is not quite as good but still well worth a watch

While we're on the subject of foreign films, i've watched Bus 174 (Brazil) and Los Debutants (Chile) recently, both highly recommended (I'll return them Saturday Mex) |
