First of all, I'd like to thank xfontanax for recommending this movie. This is a must see. I've never seen any movie quite like this one. It's the most disturbing, violent and bloody movie. This is a very intense movie with over the top violence. Check out these reviews if you don't believe me: http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/B00005JL9B/qid=1068219501/sr=8-2/ref=sr_8_2/104-2830294-7055114?v=glance&s=dvd&n=507846

I couldn't get the DVD cover pic but here's the same one on the soundtrack without the x's on their face.

    How about an actual review of the movie? Plot, characters, etc.

    Or is it just extremely disturbing, bloody violence for it's own mindless sake?

    Personally, calling it a must see simply because it's the most violently disturbing movie you've ever seen isn't really enough for me to want to check it out. In fact it would tend to make me avoid it.

    That's not really my idea of entertainment. But that's just me.

    The movie has a story, plot and great characters. With all the violence and everything, it's pretty much a love story. I posted the link from amazon.com with plenty of reviews on the previous post so I don't have to write one. Here's the link again: http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/B00005JL9B/qid=1068222985/sr=8-2/ref=sr_8_2/102-2058015-1452135?v=glance&s=dvd&n=507846

    i agree..excellent movie but then again Im afraid of upsetting the more sensetive members here like I did with the Kill Bill thread thus incurring the wrath of liberal rants.
    the girl with th e swinging razor ball in Kill Bill is in Battle Royale as well.

    I think thats why he included the link to the amazon reviews..
    Its very similar in plot to Lord Of The Flies
    its no Finding nemo though if thats your cup of tea

    Its funny that I see this thread today because I watched it today. Actually I watched the first hour and that was all I could handle. Probably the most disturbing movie I have ever seen. I borrowed it from a guy I work with, he said it was banned in Japan, any truth to that?

    I don't think it's banned in Japan. Part 2 came/or is coming out :)

    It was funny to see the reference to BR in Kill Bill.

    Oh please . Give it a rest. At least be man enough to name who you're talking about. Look who's sensitive now!! You wanted an opinion on Kill Bill and you got one. Yet you kept ranting (and swearing) on those who care to give you their 2 cents. Just let it go and keep it out of other people's threads. :mad:

    sterling bug,
    I'm sure it's not banned in Japan. Japan is one of those countries that produce some very violent movies and people seem to love them. The movie is also directed by one of Japan's most respected director(forgot name). If you got throgh the first hour, I'm sure you'll get through the second half. It's a great movie and the ending is very good. You'll finally get to understand the dreams in the end when they show the meaning to each of them.

    I can't wait for the sequel as well:).

    there was more than one person numbnuts..didnt see any reason to single one person out..and yes I did ask for an opinion on the movie..instead you and others used it as an excuse to get on your liberal soapbox and rant. about thigns that had nothing to do with the movie whatsoever.
    All you had to say was you didnt care for it ..not go on and on about the other crap. thats why I posted the thread ..to discuss the movie itself..not editorialize
    if that movie offends you then I cant wait to see your opinion of Battle Royale. Dont know why you would even be intersted in this thread if these movies offend you

    and Organ ..im sorry for pulling this into your thread.It was nice to see someone else who like Battle Royale .I was poking humor at others who would most likely find it offending.

    You are not the first person Ive heard that from ..I think because of all the school violence nowadays this movie hits home a little harder than it probably would have otherwise...all in all its an excellent film
    A lot of the Japanese films Ive watched recently tend to be disturbing ..especially the films of Miike..chekc out Audition if you want to see one disturbing flick

    Well, you've obviously reduced yourself to name calling, swearing, and throwing cheap shots at those who disagree with you. You can't take criticism lightly without getting your panties in a bunch. I'm done with ya.........


    As with Battle Royale. Just by reading the plot, I already like it cause Kill Bill certainly never had one!
