Never watched the movie before and i don't like "blind buys", so i decided to watch the movie tonight. This is a huge cult masterpiece!!
I'm totally in love with the movie and it's story. Maybe i'll buy more than one copy of this Steelbook...

 

[Bluprint]

is this better than hunger games

It wouldnt be one without it!

 

[Man of Steelbooks]

Nice!

Cannot wait to get this. This thing will easily sell out before release.

 

[policenauts]

confirmation by email from the editor, no other sub than UK.

 

[cooey]

Like I said previously, the discs are the exact same as the previous release. Original Japanese language with English subtitles only

It wouldnt be one without it!

thats not what i asked, im asking is this movie better than the hunger games movie

 

[Henge86]

Its an awesome film in my opinion far better than hunger games

 

[hitster]

Wouldn't it be great if the blood on the back was all Embossed

 

[snooloui]

Wouldn't it be great if the blood on the back was all Embossed

I doubt that it is actually possible unless they used a border on the back, i'd settle for just the Japanese character (?) on the back to be debossed. I hope this gets treatment similar to The Raid with debossing or embossing on both sides.

I hadn't seen this movie until a couple of weeks ago when our universities Film Society had a screening in the universities cinema. As is was free I popped along and I wasn't disappointed. It was a really great movie! Now I can't wait till I get my hands on the Steel.

 

[Jango]

imo its way better than hunger games and i never understood why america always have to make these worse remakes on great movies... other great examples are "the girl with the dragon tattoo", "the mechanic" or "departed"... nobody need this if u saw the original.

 

[bigfub]

But Hunger Games isn't strictly a remake of Battle Royale, it's based on a trilogy of books in their own right. That said, it all comes back to Lord of the Flies originally I suppose

 

[Jango]

Battle Royale is also an book and hunger games (dont matter if movie or book) is an remake no matter what they call it, we all know that.

btw thats what steven king said about the book hunger games:

[...]Also, readers of Battle Royale (by Koushun Takami), The Running Man, or The Long Walk (those latter two by some guy named Bachman) will quickly realize they have visited these TV badlands before.[...]

 

[prophecygirl]

I've never seen it - is it good? And how gory/violent are we talking? Worse than The Raid?

Yeah it's really good. Not very gory mostly cartoonish squirty blood! Not as shocking as some of the violent stuff in The Raid.

Cool thanks, think I'll give it a go.

 

[Starling]

I'm expecting a tip off from the mods early next week that this will go oos by the end of the week.

 

[Antman]

Anyone else read the book?

I thought the film was a rarity in that it was actually better (and the book is excellent)

 

[Henge86]

Ive read the book and thought in places it was much better gives you more back story and politics. Also got all issues of the manga but from memory i found the last issue disapointing. The film is amazing tho a true classic i remember goin to the sequel at the london film fest and i felt ;( all the way home fell asleep at one point in part 2. Hav started to like that film as well in a kinda so bad its gud kinda way
