Friday Night ‘Fro: Battle Royale

And once again nappyafro goes left. If your wondering: “Why would they put up an 8 year old subtitled Japanese movie full of violence?”; Uh, because that shit is awesome. The movie labeled “crude and tasteless” by members of Japanese parliament and other governmental officers is now on nappyafro.com. I saw this film on bootleg a few years ago and thought it was like a video game come to life. Here’s the plot:
Forty-two delinquent students, three days, one deserted Island: welcome to Battle Royale. A group of delinquent students from a Japanese high school have been forced by legislation to compete in a new forum of reality television.The students are each given a bag with a randomly selected weapon and a few rations of food and water and sent off to kill each other in a no-holds-barred (with a few minor rules) game to the death, which means that the students have three days to kill each other until one survives--or they all die.
Think about it: you got 42 high schoolers running around on a deserted island trying to kill each other…fuck Lost; THIS shit is gutta! For you film nerds out there you’ll also notice Chiaki Kuriyama is in this movie (Gogo Yubari from Kill Bill Vol. 1…which I also posted last week. See what I did there?). The movie itself has gained an almost cult following since it’s release and there was even talk of a American remake. If you’ve never seen this movie or just wanna watch it again, check it out. Oh yeah, there’s a sequel to this movie called Battle Royale II: Requiem. I started watching, it was bad and I stopped watching. Happy Friday Night ‘Fro. Enjoy.
Battle Royale
i hear they are making a remake for america.
It like “Lord Of The Flies” with just 20 times more action, and 10 times less plot and depth.
^^^ I see you already mentioned that. It was cancelled after the Virginia Tech thing. BTW, this movie rocks!!!
@ H20
Its the first thing that came on mind mind after i was seeing Battle Royale. I’ve heard of it before, and I’ve heard it referenced. But, if you read “Lord Of The Flies” its essentially the same thing, except replace bad acting wtih British boys, and replace weapons with coconuts and wood, oh and schoolgirls with boys.
@ Chew…that’s a lot of replacing, shit. Lol, the write up is phat tho, imma peep it.
@ Saule Wright
