Kinji Fukasaku's dystopian Asia extreme classic, BATTLE ROYALE (2000) where everyone kills everyone and the last person surviving is the winner.
In a world where teenagers no longer have respect and adults are losing control there can be only one solution: Battle Royale!
A high school class is dumped on an island, armed with various weapons, and given a simple choice... Kill your friends or have them kill you.
'Beat' Takeshi Kitano (Violent Cop, Zatoichi) is a teacher pushed to the edge by his unruly charges. Kidnapped and gassed, his class wake up with exploding metal rings around their necks. If they rebel, they could lose their heads. Now they have three days and only one is permitted to survive this grisly battle to the death.
Directed by the master of 70s Yakuza thrillers Kinji Fukasaku and featuring Kill Bill star Chiaki Kuriyama, Battle Royale is the movie that helped to define extreme Asian cinema in the 21st Century.
