One of my favorite foreign horror films, hard to get ahold of, but definately worth the effort. Any thoughts on the film? More action than horror, but still major ownage.

I'm a big fan of this movie, though I would stay far away from the follow up. It took me forever to find a copy on DVD and when I did I snatched it right up. One interesting thing that I've noticed when I show it to friends is that they either love it or couldn't careless and don't understand what the big deal is. Anyone else have that experience?

GREAT movie! The reason you have such a hard time finding this one is because of the rights issue. I did a video interview with Stephen Biro, who is the owner of Unearthed Films. He approached the original company about purchasing the right for North American distro. They had tried to get a bigger company, but people began whispering in the ear of the film makers about how american parents would target them in lawsuits because of the kid on kid violence.
If you remember, this film was made right before Columbine, so that scared the film makers away from selling the american rights to the film. It really is a shame, because the film has a good political and horror theme to it!
REST IN PEACE!

I just added Battle Royale to my netflix queue. I had been wanting to see this but just wasnt sure. Glad I saw this thread. By the way, if you dont have an account with netflix, you should get one. The selection is huge. There is rarely a title, no matter how obscure it may be, that they dont have. It also becomes a great tool for finding more movies.

I love Netflix man. I sync'd it with my xbox 360 so I can also take advantage of instant streaming.

Ok, I finally watched Battle Royale. It was sitting next to my TV for like a month. Holy shit. It was sick, twisted, awesome! Here is my write up - (more philosophical than review I guess) - Battle Royale: Sit Down and Shut Up! :
