it is never going to be released in the US. However, it doesn't mean u cant get it. I got the 2-disc s.e. dvd (2nd disc is all in Japanese) for $25. You cannot get it at Best Buy. You can go on ebay and get some bootleg copies or VCDs. Either way. I thought it was worth the $25. It is brutal.

Reason why US wont distro it, is due to the Columbine incident. US has gotten very touchy nowadays with kids killing kids. (ie. Elephant) But whats even funnier is that the media thrives on showing exclusive footage of the kids doing target practice.

Great! I saw it in an arty theater in Brooklyn a year or so ago. I don't know if it was ever banned but I know it was controversial when it came out in Japan. It is based on a novel.

I also love "Battle Royale".
In Germany, the distributor "Kinowelt Home Entertainment" only released a cut version (about 12 minutes!!). In this version, the movie isn't worth watching. You don't understand many things because you don't get some important informations.

I ordered the DVD from "Tartan UK" (got it from bensonsworld.co.uk) and I really found out, what an fantastic movie "Battle Royale" is. It has a very intelligent story and the young actors play quite well.
