What's the diff between the Director's cut and the original one?

Not much, really. Some extra scenes that give you more background information on a few characters, and different endings. There's also some extra CG blood!

You're not really missing much. If the 2 are the same price, get the director's cut, cuz you might as well pick up the extras, but if it is significantly more than the regular version, don't bother. It's not really worth it.

But you mentioned different endings.. =\ i dunno which to get

Gotta 2nd TG3's notion. Get the Battle Royale Director's Cut, absolutely, positively, absotively, do not pass go, do not collect $200, just get that version.

If for no other good reason that SPOILER AHEAD basketball scene alone makes for a more enhanced film. Also, Mitsuko's "seductive-ness" is laid out (whoops! Pardon the pun!) better in the Director's Cut.
SPOILER OVER

Besides . . . it's Kinji Fukasaku last film.


P.S. I have this weird feeling that Battle Royale might very well end up as part of Criterion Collection. Robocop and The Killer ring a bell? They sure do, because they were both blood-drenched films. Oh, and, you can't exactly pick 'em up at the local Towers anymore.

i couldn't find any DVD/VCD of battle royale in Singapore. And neither can i find any active torrents

even though this should be in the BR thread or in the artist section,i'm answering your question
Sugimura Hiroki was played by Takaoka Sousuke

Tsukamoto Takashi was in other various drama's ...i think there's also a thread abt him somewhere were you can ask

the best movie ever made.

BTW, Hollywood remake for this movie will come out in 2008...

I like this movie, one of my favourites. It's bloody, brutal, but a great movie. And there's Ando Masanobu too!

I've seen it, but I didn't really get it well, I think I watched the second movie.. maybe I couldn't get in to it because I missed the first movie... but all in all, was it a good movie

Where did you download the second movie? I only watched the first movie and I want to watch the second too.

i think there is a vcd/dvd version for the second movie..some of the characters in the first are still in the second one..for me the second movie is also great..brutal and bloody..

But I can't buy the DVD version, because I live in Europe and if I buy an american DVD, I can't watch it, because of the region number.

If you know how to use clubbox, I know a box where you could download the second movie. Here is the link http://clubbox.co.kr/kdwluverz

You'll need to have a clubbox account to be able to access that box and a clubbox software to download a file from that box. However, since clubbox is a Korean p2p, everything is written in Korean characters, including the registration form. This tutorial should be of big help to you http://asianwaves.net/index.php?showtopic=2

I like battle royale!! It's interesting though it is bloody and all XD
I dont enjoy BRII as much though.

I just saw a news (it was dated june 8, 2006) about a hollywood remake of this classic film http://www.aintitcool.com/node/23540

I have a feeling it is not gonna be as good as the original film. I hope they won't push through with this

I don't know. Think about how was Ring. I'm afraid that'll be a stupid remake again.

if they will push through with it, let's just hope that they'll give justice to the movie...

i had read the manga but only up to volume 5...it's a different feeling when you're reading the manga from watching the movie.but both are still great...
