The Film was highly controversial, the book was highly controversial...Fuck it! Everything about it was controversial. Koushun Takami wrote the novel and it immediately became a cult classic. The book gives a much deeper isight into each of the characters and unfortunately the film turns the whole story into a shacky violence crazed story. My advice: Read the book, Screw the movie
42 students, 1 island, an assortment of weapons and if after 3 days they dont kill each other until 1 is left...They all die.

The term "Battle Royale" is often misused. The real definition is an intense battle between 2 men, named Roy and Al. If 2 people engage in an intense battle, and they happened to be named Roy and Al. If you see this, you are truly blessed and should be appreciative that you get to see a true Battle Royale.
*And the "e" is thrown on at the end just for fancy sauce.
Person 1: Hey, Roy and Al are fighting!
Person 2: Holy balls! Battle Royale!...a real one! This has been my lifelong goal, and finally, it is happening.

The greatest movie ever, followed closely by GUMMO.
I would rather watch Battle Royale than porno.

Possibly the greatest movie ever, also a novel and manga. A high school class if forced to fight in the battle royale, killing each other off one by one, untill only one remains. Some of the lovey dovey stuff is cheesy, but it only makes it funnier when they die a violent death.
Best scene: Kiriyama decapitates some kid, stuffs a grenade in his mouth, and uses his head as a weapon!

Heres an improved definition.
A Japanese movie. This movie is about, basically, a government plan to reduce poverty levels by getting rid of the one thing that keeps them down, the youth of the nation. The thing is, the government passed a law called the BR act. In it, a class of 9th grade students is put on a completely deserted island with explosive collars on. If they try to take it off, it explodes. If they are in a danger zone, it explodes and any of the people who run the contest can detonate it using a remote, too. If there is more than one survivor by the end of the 3 days, all of the collars explode. Each student is given a pack with food, water, a map, a flashlight and most importantly, a weapon. SOme get cool weapons (guns), some get average weapons (sharp objects), while others get completely screwed (Nannahara's pot-lid, for example). In the movie, the class that is chosen is also given 2 new transfer students. One of the transer students (Kawada Shugo) is experienced and knows a way out. The other transfer student (Kiriyama Kazuo) is psychotic and crazy. This movie, in my opinion, is great and should be watched by everyone. It is good in every categorie (except for family friendlieness, but who looks for that?) and pretty entertaining while at the same time thought provoking! Another interesting note is that it was based off a novel and also has a manga.
I'm American but I'm not some wapanese, I liked Battle Royale alot for what it was, not just because it was Japanese.
Fav part? Probably when Kitano shot his cell phone. Best hang-up EVER! BR 2 isn't that good but it's okay.

An online game where a large group of characters try to kill and survive each other. Most Battle Royales are cancer and absolute shit. These perimeters include Player Unknown Battle Grounds (PUBG), Fortnite, and Apex Legends, and an unquantifiable amount of ripoff.
Trash: Have you played this Battle Royale?
Not Trash: Go fuck yourself.
