Over deze film

Battle Royale is back. It's time to return to the island and kill your friends, because the cult Japanese movie that defines twisted action and sickening violence is ready to shock you all over again. In a world where teenagers have no respect and adults are losing control there can be only one solution Battle Royale! Now, see what happens when you let a high school class loose on an island, arm them and then give them a simple choice... Kill your friends or have them kill you; with poison, cross-bows, machetes and dynamite. 'Beat' Takeshi Kitano (Violent Cop, Zatoichi) is a teacher pushed to the edge by his unruly charges. Kidnapped and gassed, his class wake up with exploding metal rings around their necks. If they rebel, they could lose their heads. Now they have three days and only one is permitted to survive this grisly battle to the death. Directed by the master of 70s Yakuza thrillers Kinji Fukasaku and featuring Kill Bill star Chiaki Kuriyama, Battle Royale is the movie that helped to define extreme Asian cinema in the 21st Century.

When I first looked at this film I thought nothing of it, but after watching it I now understand why this was so influential for The Hunger Games! This movie is brutal, violent from almost start to finish. No constant conversations about love, just blood. Blood everywhere! I absolutely recommend this to anybody, it's worth it, trust me.

This must me a 5 star, when I watched it I just feel my heart sinking. At first when the Japanese were on the bus and sharing biscuits I could already feel action in the film and it already interested me at first. Once you start watching you know that it is a great battle film plus you know Fortnite and Pubg et games are based on this game it is sooo addictive to play. MUST WATCH BATTLE ROYAL TO ME WORTH £100

Hunger games copied this, they should sue them for it. Great thing about this movie is they don't get to into the conversation and love stories and blah blah blah.... it is more realistic then hunger games.
