 BATTLE
ROYALE
With
Fujiwara
Tatsuya,
Maeda
Aki,
Yamamoto
Taro,
Ando
Masanobu,

Takeshi
Directed
by
Fukasaku
Kinji
In
this
extreme
Eastern
installment,
a
government
program
selects
school
kids
to
fight
to
the
death
on
an
island
with
only
one
survivor
to
be
left
standing.
With
many
of
the
pupils
completely
useless
in
a
situation
like
this,
others
let
their
primal
nature
take
over.
With
allied
groups
and
deception
leading
to
multiple
tragedies,
the
over-the-top
violence
does
come
across
as
slightly
surreal
and
more
of
a
cartoon-style
Manga
representation.
Sometimes
many
viewers
of
reality
TV
shows
wish
contestants
would
go
at
each
other
like
this!
The
special
edition
metal
DVD
box
release
features
several
extras
like
documentaries
and
press
conferences
with
the
cast
and
crew,
as
well
as
a
postcard
map
of
the
island
(see
below)
