I remember watching this movie, when it first came out, and it was one of the most renowned senselessly ultra-violent movies around, and wondered what the hype was when I finished it. Still, interesting that this is now a steelbook, so I am in!

 

[qw0aszx]

GREAT!!

 

[spawnshop]

Awesome!

Wow, People are going to look back and be so pissed they missed this!

 

[prodigy1985]

Most likely region locked so no reason for me to get it. Unless im intending sell it.

 

[extantsrevenge]

Terrific, one of my favorite movies. Very happy with this release

 

[lolwut]

You had me at "Battle Royale Steelbook" (even though I already own 3 versions on BD) but it's a new transfer as well? I really hope it looks better than the current releases! This and The Terminator are likely to be the best steels of the year.

[firubi]

Easy pass for me, did not like the film and the steelbook is very simple.

[OviDK]

Blind buy based on the popularity alone.
