There REALLY needs to be a BR3. I can't for the life of me figure out why they haven't done one yet! The fan base is big, not huge, but big and rights should be easy to get if you set it in america with american kids killing eachother, I mean considering how they portray america in BR2 it seems like they wouldn't mind. Someone write a script! . no wait! i'll write one here you go:

'Battle Royale
A screenplay
By Echud123456

Scene One: 42 American highschool kids are bussed to a remote site and made to kill eachother with various (possibly automatic) weapond
...details to follow...'
lol jk

.They'd Probably get some flak here in the states but who doesn't after that clinton chick went crazy on GTAA

No.

I didn't like the first one... haven't seen the 2nd one (because I didn't like the 1st).. I really don't think we need a 3rd.

No need for any more Battle Royale films.

You don't think so? Hmmm oh well I can dream can't I lol

Foreign Cinema!

I can't even find a copy of BR2 without having to pay an arm and a leg for it does anyone know where i can find one?

vampire not in the US but maybe over here their are several places where it can be bought. And in favour of BR3 maybe it should Japanese students Vs Amercian ones but they've also got to defeat each other as well.

Yeah! I totally agree, I loved the first one and the second was awesome, however not as good as BR1.

But I'd love to see a third one!

Such good films, some of the best I've ever seen.

Also I wouldn't wanna see American kids in it..
The American kids used in movies are always lame, and they'd kill the film to be honest.

You could clearly see that BR 2 had dropped in quality, so it's possible that a third one could be outright horrible. If they did it right though I would love it

The original director died during the start of BR2 his son took over thats why the quality dropped.

Did anyone else hate the tag team aspect that was added to the movie personally i thought it sucked and showed how stuck for ideas they had become to kill half the class of in the first 10 mins of the beach assualt. It was great the first time round the whole movie is but after watching it a few times you can really see how the film is let down.

There was also talk of a tv show but nothing came off it.

They could easily make sequels on the subject cause it's such a simple idea and you could have different classes and lead characters every time it's just alot of people grew towards shuya would probably dislike the movie if he wasn't in it somehow or someway.

An international BR would of been some funny stuff. They really shouldn't americanise it but unfortunely they are anyway.

I ordered mine off of amazon.com...wasn't an outrageous price.

The first one was the best. If they made BR3 i would watch it.

Who would be in it? Loved the first two.

The first one was great.

The second was very meh.

I have no idea how a third would be, but you bet your ass I'd watch it.

That would be cool.
Battle Royal was planned to have a remake I heard. Never got into the buzz about it. But I guess enough people didn't like the idea of 9th Graders killing eachother.

Definately don't need to add more though. Remakes would be okay, but nothing to add.

then why u in this thread ???? no body cares that you dont think (3 fries happy meal short of) re assemble these into a phraise

In my opinion both the pictures were excellent though the second one Battle Royale 2 was not of the rank of Battle Royale 1.I love to see the Battle Royale 3.

I really liked the book, but the movie didn't capture the same images as I had when I read it. Suppose that's to be expected, but Shogo Kawada's movie version had particularly high amounts of fail.

Maybe if they do 3rd one as a kind of remake (ala Evil Dead 2), with more of a horrible suspense and more dangerous-looking bad guys (could really do that with an American version >&gt, it could be a good movie...

The book was extremely badass. Shinji Mimura is where it's at.

The first movie was good. Lots of the deaths were changed and so there was little character development.

Second one was ridiculous and downright bad. The Teacher - Takeuchi i think was his name. Was just so dumb. And the main kid was just constantly pissed! Constantly! It was ridiculous!

I bought both movies at Hot Topic.

I think there should be a "Battle Royale III" because don't you remember the part in BR2 when the teacher got pissed off about the prime minister's comments. Well the prime minister is also behind the BR act.

Nanahara Shuya and Noriko still don't know that. They have to figure out how to stop the prime minister. They have to stop him. The only way they can do that is to kill him. THATZ WHY THERE HAS TO BE A "BATTLE ROYALE 3"!!! Hear me out people....

Part 2 sucked. The director of the first is dead, shouldn't be anymore.

The first one was ballsy as hell. Very in-your face. I loved it.

I tracked down the sequel at a comic convention and regretted the purchase after having seen it.

It's nothing like the first film. Instead of continuing the fight-till-death aspect of the first film, BR2 follows the exploits of the surviving hero and his war against the Japanese government. This time around, he has collected previous survivors to aid him.

There's alot of yelling by the protagonist. Alot of it. Very annoying considering he has a squealing voice.

You have been warned. It is nothing like the first film. The BR1 edge-of-your seat suspense is completely removed from BR2.

Battle Royale 2 blew ass.


Read the Battle Royale book. That's all you need.

look i personally loved the BR movies. and yes i was dissapointed about the students not killing eachother but thats what makes it a series. would Lord of the Rings be good if every movie it was the same thing (ie scenes places and etc.)? Look it was corny i know but the only problem i had with br2 was the teacher he was the dumbest character and btw BIG PLOT HOLE why does the teacher wear a collar? i honestly think its for his own safety and everyone elses but anyway.

as for a br3 id buy it and bootleg it and love it. i mean whats gonna happen to the wild seven and takuma and nanahara. what are they just gonna sit there and say "well **** we pretty much lost but whatever"? no he declares war and idc what any of you say that lil shit fight at the end was not a war.

last but not least i dont even watch american films anymore cause they are terrible and if they did an american version i wouldnt watch it.

now the br3 storyline that i could see if they did do it is: they play off of the countries that were named in 2 and pick like 5-10 students from each of the countries to fight eachother and not like the olympics, im talking no holds barred free for all slaughter on the island(or a bigger one im not picky). and instead of getting the random weapon they just get food and whatever. the normal 3 days to find a winner or no one will win, but they have to find weapons or even make them. and this broadcasted on as a tv show for the adults. mean while Nanahara and the Wild Seven form anew and double in #'s and try to stop all of this. each country will have one or more "kiriyama" type killers and they help the adults and blah.once the game is stopped the wild seven and all the kids and any other anti br act people attck the prime minister and end the war.

thank you for your time and if you dont like br or are gonna tell me how gay my idea is then just say it in your head this is for BR fans and if you arent then stfu

I dont think that there should be a BR3. Because the first two movies
are not good that change to many things. All you need is the manga that is it. Now if they remaid the first one and sart all the way to the beging and put in every part that was not in the first movie than you got something.

i'm going to kept on telling you people to read the manga. I baet no one on this post has even read the book yet. if you have then you should all know were i'm comeing form. The movie well NEVER be like the manga or the book.

Seen the film, read the book. Not bothered about reading manga, not a manga reader. I don't care what differences they made, the film IS good and most definitely doesn't need a stupid remake, yet it is going to get one soon unfortunately, from Americans...

mildpossession I respect your way of thinking that. But dont think Americans cant pull it off.

American remake would be awful.

that is your thoughts GIRL

Oh people who like to have remakes of originals that have nothing wrong with them... I'm sure the Japanese got closer to the books source compared to how Americans would make it, totally different cultures too...

Apparently no one has bought the rights for it yet, as believed some time ago, so good news so far.

The Japanese did not get it closer look at it again.

I was talking how close the FILM is to the book, not the manga. I know the manga is suppose to be closer to the book compared to the film, but that is not relevent when it comes to the film of Battle Royale. The film is adapted from the BOOK, the Manga comics came out after the novel.

The Japanese are going to get closer to the book/manga than any Americans would, just research it and Japanese culture...

The American remake producers who were interested at the time, last time it was in the running, were going to go by the Japanese film and the novel only, nothing to do with the Manga. It would also probably be toned down according to various production companies in America due to the Virginia Tech shootings so close. So that's another thing that will take away from the Battle Royale world.

did you see the fight scene in the movie no you didn't because there was no fight scene the manga is better than the movie if you think i'm wrong than thats fine the the movie well ALLWAYS SUCK,and maby this one that cameing up as well.

and he still doesn't read... and yeah, the film must suck because there was no 'fight scene'...

The first was a classic the second was an abomination. A third one? No thanks.

I also think that there should be film and a game.
i agree set it in america and gige someone a million McDonald burgers that should kill them.

BR # WOULD BE THE BOMB IF U MIXED BR AND BR2 TOGETHER i mean like 8 teams of 12 no pairs but still having collars or like class vs class WITH VEHICLES
AND NO AMMO :O they would have to capture an ammo drop
AND THEY ACTUALLY HAD TO RELOAD unlike br2 in the ending where naruhshu was like AH *sprays gun fire for like an hour with out loading
i found it funny how they managed to survive a bombing and a dday style attack. narushau dude should be on the island trying to stop it :O and he gets a lightsaber :O and he chops a missle in half

I Really Liked Battle Of Royale . I Loved The First One And I Think That The Second One Was Good Too. I Hope There Is A Third One .. I Really Want To How Everything Ends ..

i don't like the first one

I hate to tell you this but there isn't a BR3 because the director died 1 scene into BR2, the script writer had to direct it... I cried so bad when I found out it's my favourite film :'(
