Who here has seen this amazingly awesome movie? Prolly my favorite japanese movie ever...except for possibly rashomon. edit: for those who haven't seen it, here is a very short backgroud...no spoilers here: Takes place in future japan, but not too far in the future. Unemployment is high, and kids are boycotting school, thus, the government makes the BR act, which basically sends a class of 9th grade kids to an island and given weapons and equipment to fight to the death (until only one of them is left) in a 48 hour period or they all die. This is the story of one of those classes. /side note - i read that they are making an english remake of this movie also - hope it turns out as good. |

Seen it. The American remake will suck more than the sequel. It's got some hilarious stuff in it. Like when the guy is lying in a pool of his own blood when his girlfriend comes over (she was the one who shot him on accident) and he says "Yuki... you're so cute." Comedy gold. |

[quote="discovolante"]It's got some hilarious stuff in it.[/quote] Don't forget Beat Takeshi's death scene. So the sequel was that bad, eh? It's been sitting on my HD waiting to be watched for a while now. |

The sequel is really not interesting at all. I suppose it technically has more plot and story going on, but...just...it...eh. |

The first movie and the book are both good. |

My favorite Japanese movie, as well. I neverr did get the Takeshi death scene. Still funny, though. |

The kids in the sequel had infinite ammo hax and 2 kids beat an entire army of ppl. Man they really had skills. The book was the best. It gave a lot more insight into kiriyama and mitsuko. But sugimura will always be the coolest. |

[quote="Joyeuse"]The sequel is really not interesting at all.

I mean, he had a good reason to... the senior Fukusaku died in the middle of production. But I kind of wish he had just let the film sit rather than finish it. It's pretty bad. |

complete piece of crap. to be compared with bond movies or charlie's angels or something. too many people love things just because they're japanese. |

Book came today. It looks to be in really good shape too, aside from the previous fucker crossing our all the kids' names on the front page. In pen. |

He wanted to keep track of them when they died. That sucks. You want the list? |

Nah, I can read the names still. It's just a line drawn through most of them in pen, so I'm pissed off. I get irritated when people write in books (unless they're textbooks), especially in pen. |
