Batoru Rowaiaru (Battle Royale)

Good luck finding this title - any store that has it will probably have it stashed underneath the whippets, but oh my, it was worth the search.

Check it out if you can.

Nope, you can find it on VHS with English subtitles.

I've heard through a few sources this one is worth watching.

Something about kids in fights to the death -- too appealing.

Great movie. Yeah Rellix, it's about a class of children taken away to an island where they are each given a weapon and are forced to kill each other until only one person remains who is the champion. It's more detailed than that, but that's the overall gist of it. Very entertaining.

Its a great movie.

You can easily find it on DVD. The major problem are finding the correct version, since there seems to be 22 different versions, with various mixes of extra materials, directors cut, with and without some part of it subtitled.

If you wish to buy the movie, look at http://www.battleroyalefilm.net/video/index.html for a good guide to the various versions.
