Is this based on a manga? Not heard of the movie, but have seen a manga of similar name. Lots of schoolkids butchering each other...

[moomoo]

Yeah, it's pretty gory - it's about school kids that are forced to kill each other off. There is also a manga of it, and they are both based on the same book, I think. There is also a sequel (both manga and movie) but that kinda sucks.

I definitely recommend it, not for the gore but because it makes you think. Well, that's what it did for me anyway.

seconded! ultra magnus speaks truth! this film is great. not as gory by todays standards. more violent than gory. its quite funny too at points... in a twisted sort of way

[Stevilito]

was a really good film, if it was remade today you would see the gore more IMO

cute japanese school girls


is number 2 any good? dont wanna waste disc burning if its crap

[Mosheddy]

nowhere near as good as the first film :( its a completely different plot too. follows on what happened to the characters at the end of the first film.

[Stevilito]

so theres no point whatching it?

[Mosheddy]

lol, go ahead and watch it, then decide if you want to burn it ;)

[Stevilito]

i prefer to burn and whatch on my big tv instead of a small screen so ya know

[moomoo]

Small screen is good enough for the 2nd film. It's really not very good.

[Stevilito]

screw it its just abd review after bad review lol

it dont sound anyhting like number 1 so it will probs be crap lol

Part 1 made me think too, it would be pretty freaky if they allowed that kind of program. I was a little freaked out about it too, I did watch it a few years ago though. Now it probably wouldn't phase me as much. Part 2 was interesting in seeing what happened to the little hooligans, there's even a few small references to part 1. I remember 2 references, they are (spoiler):



Creepy, bloody girl at the beginning of part 1 with the stuffed animal (bunny?)
You get to see the tech dude's dad in a flash back. It was the kid that had the car rigged with explosives.

And spoiler plot, they're terrorists/freedom fighters.

I tried the size=0 thing as notoriousmdc recommended, but the text disappeared.

I guess BRII isn't bad, but compared to the first (which is kinda impossible not to do) it's really disappointing.

And yeah, the film & manga are both based off the same book, but the manga was made after the film.

[nindanjoe]

That's the point. Then you say "quote to read spoiler" and people can read what you wrote in the reply box^_^

Oh, I see, thanks. =P
