Page 1 of Anyone seen Battle Royale yet ????????

Just received DVD Review magazine and Battle Royale (region 3) has a really good write up.
It sounds extremely gorey and with a DTS soundtrack £8.50 from www.coolashop.com seems like a bargain.
The only thing that puts me off is the subtitles !!

Anyone seen it or can recommend any other region 3 retailers that may offer it even cheaper !!! ..........

I have it on dvd and it`s excellent.

I`m a great fan of Takeshi Kitano, he`s "cool".

I got mine from www.dddhouse.com a region 3 site.

I think it was the same price. Check it out though.

It`s not the best looking site in the world but it`s cheap!!

Its absolutely fantastic. I borrowed it on region 3 from my brother. It was so good that I watched it a whole 6 times in one week, which isnt bad.

He got it from coolashop too.

Dont be afraid of subtitles! They are good for you!

It is one EXCELLENT film but is nowhere near as gorey as they say it is. Most of the violence isn`t prolonged and not dwelled over it`s just the shock of seeing children (well about 16/17 actually) being forced to kill each other. The way the violence is started is quite shocking - for example the infamous lighthouse kitchen massacre is shocking not for the depiction of the murders (just simple gunning down) but for the mundane way the scene starts and it`s fast and brutal slide into violence. There is one nasty murder but the guy who gets it kind of deserves it anyway... Anyway as I said it is one brilliant film and at £8.50 there really is no reason to ignore it. Infact it is so good there would be no reason to ignore it at £20!

http://www.movietyme.com also do it but for £14 though this does include P+P and I don`t know whether coolashop does...

Yeah, but lets be honest kileer, as with a lot of films, its not the blood and gore that is the problem, it`s the mental content. If you watch this film (and I think it`s awesome!!) you are basically forced to side with killers, whichever way you look at it. I could`ve put that better but I dont want to add any spoilers. Its kinda like Clockwork Orange. That ain`t gory by any shape or form, but the fact is, by the end of the film, you find yourself rooting for a murdering rapist.

If ya see what I mean.
