Long before Hunger Games, there was Hunger Games--I mean... Battle Royale. It's violent, bloody, confusing as hell, and kind of cool. It's a cult classic, which means you haven't seen it but a bunch of movie nerds have. Like any movie, it has sins, and in honor of the upcoming new Mockingjay Part 1, we thought we'd count the sins of the movie that inspired it.
Next week: Sins of a series you've been begging us to return to. And sins of another series that is kind of crappy. (both clues apply to both videos, I guess).
Remember, no movie is without sin. Which movie's sins do YOU want to see recounted?

Makes jokes about why people aren't having sex during death battle then complains when people have sex during a death battle *ding*
Aly Smith he only said that having sex on a open space in a death competition was wrong lol xD
No, he asked why they would even agree to have sex during a death battle.
The thing is, they didn't. She raped, and killed them, but what I'm not sure about is the order in which it happened. I wouldn't have been surprised at all if she killed them first, then raped them.
Going by the manga, no, she most likely tricked them to have sex with her then murdered them while they were doing it.
Claire if we're going off the manga then she tricked one into having sex killed him while she was doing it and then raped the other one

@RisingSunCountry profile checks out
If you are watching Japanese movies, I need to warn you, you need to be prepared. Normal nitpicks wont work here, shits lot weirder than in the other parts of the world. Student teacher relationship is normal, kids falling in love and talking about sex is normal. Fetishes are normal. Every teenager looks like they will have sex right at that moment is normal. In fact anything that looks weird to you, is completely normal. They basically think anything that can happen in manga, or cartoons, or in fantasy, can happen in real life too. *Experienced J-movie and J-drama watcher*
fuc$ you.i know its normal lol
This is one step away from that "Well it's anime so it being badly written is okay because Japan" -thing isn't it? Then again Battle Royale isn't badly written. Funny that. Also, replace "watching Japanese movies" with "browsing the internet" and you'll see how you're not being as exotic as you may think. Also, remember that most of the weird shit in Japanese culture originates from the extreme stigma against sexual openness? Tentacle porn was (most likely) invented by Toshio Maeda, who was actually looking for an alternative to penises for his erotica/manga "Demon Beast Invasion", as including something as graphic as that would make it more rejectable with the Japanese manga community(of the time). This means that(at least at the time), in Japan, regular sex was considered to be the weird deviatory shit, and tentacle porn and all the other things we consider weird, were the substitutes that made it an adult-rating lower. I doubt this is true today, as all the weird shit spawned a thousand fetishes and subcultures which made regular sex seem almost boring to some of them (which I may have read is actually a part of Japan's current population problems) I wonder if right now someone Japanese is having this conversation about the sex scenes in Game Of Thrones or something similar. "They basically think that what actually happens in real life can happen on TV too" Also, I do not know whether this is true, but I've heard that in a lot of hentai where the dub/sub/translation will say "step-brother/sister/father/mother" it was actually a forced alteration to remove incestual elements. So is Akibara weird or do we have censorship issues? idfk
Jesus, calm the fuck down!
*Ding*
See now, your one of those "no fun" kinda people.
Fun Fact: In the book, the first person does wait for people to run out and kills them.
George Corbul the ending are the same in all the formats, the causes of death are change.
Thats what I would do if I was the first person, get a knife/gun and kill the person each time they come out.
The book is bar far the superior medium when it comes to Battle Royale
Isn't that pretty much what happened in the movie too? The fat kid with the crossbow.
In the movie you cant, the soldiers are right outside
The girl in the yellow track suit, Chigusa, was actually Gogo Yubari from Kill Bill
oh my fucking god, i knew i recognized her!
"you've injured my face!"
Yeah, missed opportunity!
did you not watch the end? they directly reference that 12.26
@@bloopdaddy Gogo Yubari was inspired by Chigusa in this film actually. Tarantino meant to have Mitsuko's actress (Kou Shibasaki) in Kill Bill too to play Gogo's sister, but her schedule didn't allow it.

@Ad Max I liked the movie but now that I think about it harvesting humans for batteries is hella stupid lol
Cuz its 69th sin

+Guy Guyson Whoa. It all makes sense now. Message cinemasins directly so they can do a re-do of this video.
+Guy Guyson You know what should have been sinned? How fast he took off his cloths, put on that kevlar vest, and put his cloths back on
You know, Kevlar can't be reused? Once someone wearing it has been shot, the fibres break up and it's no longer bullet proof
Well movies aren't the most realistic sources for information. That's the only logical explanation I can think of for Kazuo being able to survive 2 shots to the chest.

8:00 Once again, yes , that's exactly what happened. In the Novel, her character is a disturbed and abused (physically and sexually) teen girl that uses her own sexuality to get whatever she wants. These dudes got the drop on her and took all her weapons, and she consented to sleeping with them to "earn their trust" not knowing she keeps a razor in her panties for just such an occasion. She is the ultimate victim turned ultimate survivor unleashed on an uncontrollable situation. Amazing book.
The manga is even worse
RIP Takamatsu and Yuchiro
This is incorrect: in the book she seduces one dude and tries to kill him with the razor but never sleeps with him. Then the other tries to defend her and gets shot instead. She kills the original shooter and kisses the shot boy who she respects because of his innocent love for her. Then she shoots him and leaves
@@thebatfamily3465 I suspect that Carrie Snider was beting on Mitsuko....
The Manga is just completely different. End of story.
1:30 there's nothing lost in translation here. The teacher asked the kid not to go to school. But the kid actually complied, and this irritated the teacher. Maybe he just wanted to insult the kid to motivate him to study more, but the kid actually did stop coming to school, much to his irritation.
It's just a weird way to say "You're a real pain in my ass"
This dude just straight up bullied a kid out of school.
@@raymondbiskner6885 In the beginning of the movie, the kid actually slashes his ass with a knife, which is what I believe he is referring to.
He was literally a pain in the ass lol
he later described the teacher as a "sympathetic character" so I'm going to be honest I think there was a lot of this film cinemasins didn't really catch
CinemaSins gets a Sin (Ding) for giving a sin for a Japanese film being in Japanese and having to have subtitles!
Also, making a Gogo Yubari joke post-credits without using clips of the actual Gogo Yubari. *ding*
Yeah fuck those guys for not learning a language they don't have to speak in a western "English" speaking country.
Yep, that´s what I thought too. As if other countries aren´t aloud to value their own language and culture. People who can´t speak at least one foreign language...well, they´re missing out a lot.
This should be dobbed then, like Godzilla
NEEEEEEERRRRRD
Why are Hunger Gmes ripping of this movie a sin? You sinned THIS movie because of it, like, five times.
+Ondřej Saska they did the same thing with tangled they sinned it because they said it would have gone different in westeros
+Ondřej Saska These videos are just comedy.
+ColorblindTV Pretty much the point of Cinemasins, do this for the funnies.
ColorblindTV But in that case that sin has to be meant to be funny. And this is not the case.
***** No. No it's not. Saying that Hunger Games ripped off this movie doesn't have any indication of a joke.
“Tie guy must really like skirts” *doesn’t understand its Japanese culture and uniform for school* ding
Or he understands the culture and realized this movie could have easily put the children in standard, bland, non-revealing uniforms before throwing them into the battle royale. Does this all happen while the kids were in school, yes. Did that stop them from bring everything else they needed including plastic sheets in case they have to kill someone in the classroom, no?
@@Astroman10 they weren't really revealing. Only sometimes it was very weird as female skirts are wayy to short.
@@StreetDrilla actual japanese school uniform skirts aren't short. They're usually below the knee or just above, and it's not allowed to raise the skirts to make them shorter, at least when they are at school
At some point parents must've realized dropping out school was probably much safer than playing in these "hunger" games
The movie is cool, but the manga had several less plot holes. Also, Sugimura, Nanahara and Mimura were super badass there!
Lab Matt What about the novel? In my opinion, the novel is better than the manga :P.
Sz...No se q nombre tener! I wish I could have read the novel but, unfortunately, the manga was all I found for sale in my country.
Lab Matt You could download it translated or something though :P
Sz...No se q nombre tener! Yeah, but I'd rather hold the book in my hands, though. It's part of the magic of reading!
Lab Matt Yeah, I think the same, I hate reading digital books :P. I read Battle Royale on my phone though.
You know what? This is possibly the best adaptation I've ever seen. The story told is certainly different, but it's different in the good way. It tells a unique story with the pre-existing characters, and it's quite interesting to see how this story goes in comparison to the book. Granted, some characters are less compelling, but a lot of the actual moments are better handled here than in, say, the manga. Having Kuninobu get killed as a demonstration of what the collars are capable of is way better as exposition than just shooting him because reasons and then saying that the collars explode. It's also way funnier when you have some teenage girl enthusiastically explaining the rules is way better than just having some 4-foot-9 government employee explaining it. These are just examples, but I'm sure you get my point.
+Sam Geuvenen Incorrect, the best book to movie adaptation is Starship Troopers
Darryl Speed You could also make a case for Stand By Me. But nah, Battle Royale is my personal favorite.
+Sam Geuvenen I love the movie, don´t get me wrong, but the manga is way better. What they did to Kiriyama´s character in the movie is just atrocious. And when I watched it I constantly asked myself: "Why should I care that kid #4 died? I have no idea who he is..." because the movie spends no time in building up those characters. And yes, the movie only has 2 hours to do so, but it is still lacking. They could have at the very least tried with the villains, but no. Mitsuko is a crazy bitch and Kiriyama is a psycho, with no redeeming qualities or even a decent reason for why they are that way. And Mitsuko was so interesting in the manga... Also I think the best adaptation from a book is Fight Club.
Mia Becker I don't know. Personally, i think Kiriyama is far more memorable because he doesn't speak, which really sticks out in an awesome way. I agree that Mitsuko wasn't handled nearly as well, but I didn't like her much to begin with. You do have to give credit to the film for getting as much development from about 40 side characters as it did in the runtime. Overall, still my favorite. That, and you aren't supposed to care that kid #4 died, because Kid #4 is Oda, who you aren't supposed to care about, because he's a colossal dick in the book.
Sam Geuvenen I liked what the manga did with the villains: they could not be really considered that because of their backstory. The way the movie handled them diminishes that. And I am not sure they handled the 40 side characters all that well. I mean, they are barely there. But the teacher is better in the movie, I´ll give you that.
The idea of adding danger zones is so that the contestants have an easier time finding were the remaining survivors are so they can kill them off faster.
You missed the moment the "teacher" slipped while walking down the mud before he gave the umbrella to the student. It's a sin matching the heights of the stormtrooper hitting his head on the top of the door frame in Starwars. :D
That makes me wonder...does the Uzi-wielding psychopath (aka Kazuo) even say a single word in this movie? As far as I can remember, he sure as hell doesn't in the novel.
He doesn't, apparently it's hinted he's a mute
Shaymin Squirrel Did a little research - he does speak just before he dies of his injuries, at least in the manga.
The Ugly Barnacle maybe he's only a mute in the novel/film then?
Shaymin Squirrel Re-read the novel recently and had to take my words back - he does speak in the novel, but very little. Apparently, the mental damage was explained there: he had a splinter in his skull when he was just a fetus and his mother was in a fatal car accident.
The Ugly Barnacle right, I've only seen the film (but bought the novel and will be reading it soon) so that's all I had to go on
I find this movie a lot more believable than the Hunger Games.
You and 3 idiots I guess since neither of them are "believable"
Mega Zeta Just saying that out of the two, Battle Royale is more believable.
Seems pretty subjective to me, they're both heavily stylized dystopias out of a fever dream.
Dutch_Atlantic_13 hung3r gam3s stol3 this shit
I hope you're not talking about the acting because the actors in BR were just... terrible.
Hey, excuse me, for a 2001 movie not from Hollywood, this is a pretty amazing movie, with all the logics, visual effects, characters, motives, plot, etc.
Oh the characters and their motives: most of the characters are like horny wapitis in autumn, banging their heads against each other, which also explains the reason and logic in their behavior.
*2000 movie
Totally AGREE. It is a good movie, even the best one I have seen. If just fixing on those ignorable details, everything will be spoiled.
Yeah that's right
Once the movie came out, my mom said I'd never watch it but I watched Battle Royale on 2016 and now watching this Cinemasins episode.
12:18 The irony of this dubover is the girl that played Gogo Yubari (Chiaki Kuriyama) was actually in this movie 5:52
Firstly you don't understand irony. And secondly Quentin Tarantino went to Japan and also saw Battle Royal. Where do you think he found the '5 6 7 8s' who play the Woo Hoo song. Think before you type.
@@mrljgibson He found Chiaki Kuriyama, the 5 6 7 8's, Lady Snowblood (and Meiko Kaji who play the lead role in Lady Snowblood and sing the songs Urami bushi and Shura no hana, used in kill bill), and I'm quite certain the crazy 88 is a Japanese sword group. And of course the entire O-ren Ishii story-line (the animated part). I thought Jeremy would mention Chiaki Kuriyama, if not in the sins, then in the audio outtakes. He kinda did... But focused on the wrong character. She plays Takako Chigusa (yellow jumpsuit dickstabber).
@@mrljgibson calm down, it aint that serious
Hey lol kuriyama is my last name 😂😂😂👌💯
That's Kelly in free fire search it
In the manga, the fat kid who gets called first actually _does_ wait outside and kill people as they walk out the door. The protagonist manages to outwit him, but still.
He did in the original novel too.
I wouldn't really say outwit. all he did was throw a flashlight lol.
I love how Hunger Games fangurls and fanbois screech about how badly Divergence ripped them off, and then they screech equally loud about how Hunger Games has zero connection to Battle Royale. Just saying :D
Divergent was just a Hunger Games ripoff made for a cash grab. While the base idea for Hunger Games and Battle Royal is the same, the rest is pretty drastically different.
Collin Walker Thank you for proving my point. Cheers!
I say we all just concede everybody ripped off everyone else because shit sells and the Romans did it first anyway.
Well, Hunger games takes BR and the running man (two great movies with not an ounce of sense between them), mixes them together, sanitizes them for film rating purposes and passes them through the mind of a teenage girl obsessed with fashion and celebrity culture, with added random stuff about society divided by peoples roles. Divergent then directly takes the hunger games and removes what little sense was left in it and replaces that with confusion and "the power of love" aka "cos boners are stronger".
DoddyIshamel "passes them through the mind of a teenage girl obsessed with fashion and celebrity culture" Dude, have you even read the books?
4:15 Well, Kill Bill has kind of a connection(I know I used the wrong therm but you will understand what I'm trying to say) with Battle Royale: 1. In Battle Royale trailer it says: ,,My favourite movie of all time"-Quentin Tarantino(he made Kill Bill). He also said that Battle Royale is the movie he liked and whised he made. 2. Gogo Yubari is portrayed by Chiaki Kuriyama who portrayed Chigusa(the girl in yellow tracksuit) in Battle Royale. 3. This explains why Kill Bill Volume 1 is in Japan BONUS: Quentin Tarantino wanted Kou Shibasaki to be Yuki Yubari, Gogo's sister, but due to scheduling conflicts her role was removed. Likewise, Shibasaki played the main female antagonist Mitsuko Souma in Battle Royale.

I love how sin 68 is just that the narrator remembers his uncle...
The problem I had with the movie was 1. How they were oblivious to the br act, and how they didn’t recognize a previous winner. 2. How the main three survived at the end. The end would be much better seeing him go back and having the media cover him and see him on the news.
" What a tragic Dumbass" I fucking cried laughing. I'm sorry Hunger Game fans I know y'all defend your creator to the death, but come one. BR and HG have waay to many similarities to be considered a coincidence. The author had to have looked up BR or something cause damn.
The Author was watching BR while having a BM and was inspired by the two to create HG.
"Come one" I think even being on the internet does not save me from laughing...
Even if the author didn't know about BR, I find it impossible her editor or publisher didn't even see this.
Actually this type of idea has been done so many times (people fighting to the death) that it may as well be a genre. I mean it actually used to exist in roman times so it's not *that* original. I honestly believe that the similarities between Hugner Games and Battle royale are mere coincidences. Plus BR is more about the psychology of people in that situation and the thing itself where as HG is more about the political stuff
theEddieworld You could as well say Battle Royale is simply a rip off of Lord of the Flies, so yeah. Everything is a rip off.
fun fact: this was Quentin taratino's favorite film of all time. and the same chick (actress: Chiaki Kuriyama) that basically said the japanese version of "come at me bro" also played as Gogo from Kill Bill vol.I as directed by Taratino. i guess Taratino was impressed. with her performance in Battle Royale
Not only with her, also with another girl from this movie. In fact, Tarantino created a role for her as Gogo yubari's sister, who would try to get revenge for the death of Gogo. It is a very interesting history, but did not get filmed in the end. It is easy to google the whole thing, and original script.
Desmond Humes but did the film stick to the canon story as seen in the novel?
Irving Bisman Not really. Some small aspects were changed. But the overall idea is basically the same. The manga is a lil bit different from the novel and the movie differs a lil bit from both of them. It's a really nice novel that I would highly recommend, even if have already seen the movie =]
Ivens Pinheiro Ivens saying from your comment. it looks like its similar to nearly every novel-to-movie adaptation except hunger games. because fuck hunger games. like for example, in I Am Legend robert nevelle. in novel, he didnt have a dog, he usually drove in station wagons due to their reliability. he was a nigh-chain smoker and often drank scotch and to which he basically stockpiled the fuck out of both. it was based around the 70's, he didnt have mannequin friends (although im not sure of this because i havent finished the book) and also served in the US Army and also treated the infected as vampires because they had such traits (piercing them in their hearts with wooden stakes and then dragging their bodies out into the sun where they roast) also had a rival that served with him as he protests outside of nevll's house outside everynight with the common infected. in movie nevell however, he was a high ranking USAF airman, he drove around in SUVs and occasionally Mustangs for some wierd reason. played golf outside and other recreational activities. had manniquin friends, had a dog and some other non-canocal traits (as in BROADCASTING EVERYDAY WHERE HE IS) if they decide to remake Battle Royale or I Am Legend. shits better when its canoncal as "novels are usually better than the film". and just incase if you're australian, dont let me get started on Tomorrow when the war began" i am australian and by God, our films suck dick but video games are mint. Bioshock 1 and 2 (not 3 because it was made in the US) dead space 1 and 2 (not 3 because the australian studio went defunct. FUCK YOU EA) and also Fruit Ninja and Jetpack Joyride. and my personal favorite. LA Noire. and hopefully, Whore of the Orient
In the director’s cut of BR, you actually can hear what Kitano and Noriko are talking about (in the final scene entitled Requiem 3). It’s basically just him complaining about his job and she tells him she still has Nobu’s knife on her desk at home. The last line of the film is “What should an adult say to a kid at this moment?”
was 'Everything Wrong With Battle Royale 2' ever done?
Unfortunately, no
there will be more sins than every Star Wars cinema sins video
Lmao at the people saying this movie is overrated. People who say things are overrated are just saying "Even though this thing is very popular, it is bad because I said so."
Exactly xD But I like that kind of people more than those that assume because they dont like something it IS bullshit and crap and whatever instead of saying that its their opinion that they dont like it
not always some poeple genrally dont like certain popular things. me, i dislike bad movies that are made popular because people think they are good, like frozen.
Soraking007 yeah that movie was shit as fuck (IMO) that was really an overrated movie I mean they made her powers up as they went with the story (she can create life? Her dress is made out of snow? and why didnt her sister leave the castle? She couldve left at any time! and she left a guy she just met in charge of her kingdom?)
Uh... no? Not in relation to this movie but in general, something can easily be for more popular than it deserves to be, of course depending on personal preference. Of course, if you want to be a dick you can just say something that is popular and you don't like it, "is for idiots".
Or maybe they have their own opinions..

Have to object to your 'sin' regarding the kids who committed suicide rather than compete in BR. That, for me, was the best part of the movie. The fact that at least some of the kids actually worked out that there was no moral way to win the game and decided not to play. Awesome statement for the movie to make. Takes guts. Also, the girl who, in the beginning of the movie, threw her weapon bag back to the army guy... good scene too.

What do they call Hunger Games in Paris? Battle Royale with cheese.
When he asked "What hasn't hunger games stolen from this movie?" my instinctive answer was "The quality"
The main character is played by Fujiwara Tatsuya who also played Light Yagami in the live action adaptation of Death Note and Shishio Makoto in the live action adaptation of Rurouni Kenshin’s Kyoto arc. The director of the movie is Kinji Fukusaku who was also the director of the Yakuza Papers film series which is a documentation of the Yakuza
It was also Kinji Fukusaku's last film, he died during the pre-production of squeal and his son had to take over. He also was the one who started Jitsuroku eiga (actual recorded film) genre.
You forgot the fact he only came back from the dead at the end to verbally abuse his daughter via telephone!
THIRD AND FINAL WARNING SHIT HEAD
DeathRocket4990 TPNG/VGCP Hello, I don't think we've been properly introduced. I'm your daddy.
TheFlagRespawns You're a hobo.
DeathRocket4990 TPNG Now now daughter dearest, we've talked about that potty-mouth of yours, haven't we?
TheFlagRespawns Oh great. Thanks for the late reply. Now go play with your little dolls.
Just noticed it's the same actor from the Death Note Live Action movie xD
+LisaOtaku That's Fujiwara Tatsuya, he's actually in a few live action movies that were adapted from novel/manga.
+LisaOtaku the main character of this movie is also Light/Kira in the the Death note live action movie, as well as he plays Erin in the Attack on Titan live action movie
+Joseph Zoe martin Fujiwara Tatsuya doesn't play in Attack on Titan. Eren is played by Haruma Miura ;)
+Marina B Both of which play top two main antagonists in the Rurouni Kenshin live adaption.
Theres a live action Death Note film? The fuck xd
4:07 The contestant's heart rates are monitored. Hiding wouldn't have helped them, and they knew that. Yet you didn't? Did you even watch the movie you're sinning?
Yeah no. If the collar can detect heart beat sounds then there is no way it cant hear the 3 yell about bombs. Movie doesnt even play by its own rules
No Name Passerby A Yeah in the movie it doesn’t make much sense. But in the book, they don’t yell just write on paper so it does. Also, the guy was reluctant to kill one of them because they have a betting thing, and one of them was athletic and smart so people were betting on him
FUN FACT: On the first dubbed portion you put in after the sin tally (the narration from Uma Thurman from Kill Bill), the girl who played Chigusa (the girl in the yellow track suit that got her face cut by the "guy who gets the right idea") is the same actress that played the GoGo Yubari from Kill Bill.
for those that saw the death note movies, shuya is light yagami. this entire movie went exactly as planned.
***** yes, he is light in the live action death note movies
***** Yeah, Takako Chisato is Gogo from Kill Bill.
excellent two movies
interesting to see a westerners perspective on a very japanese film
If we are westerners who are you? Also this video mostly made for commedy not serious at all.
"If we are westerners who are you? " what kind of question is this one hahaha
+Baran Duman Lmao this isn't a comedy movie and he is Asian
+YURI PEREZ How west we are to him how eastern he is. I gotta know it man
+Stephen Nong I said video not movie.
The mentioned Studio Logo in the beginning is actually the logo of Toei Company. Toei was the producer and distributor of the Battle Royale Movie and is also known for producing series such as Super Sentai (or in America, Power Rangers) and Kamen Rider. Toei Company is also known for anime like Sailor Moon, One Piece, Saint Seiya, Dragon Ball, etc.
2:47 that's exactly what Akamatsu does in the book
Guys BR was not inspired by LOTF, Without WW2, we wouldn't have BR! God...that actually sounds a bit morbid...
***** That is why I inquired that it sounded a bit morbid.
Dammit Misha! You make the war sound important for all the wrong reasons.
***** Are you following me?
***** ok then I just got like 3 notifications from you so I was worried... And Yes I do know Misha and Katawa Shoujo I've played the game recently.
***** I never did the Shizune and Misha route I was too drained from Emi, Lily and Hanako's routes so I stopped playing for a while. As for how I have a computer... I ummm found it...in someone's house just lying around on a table.
The biggest sin I saw in this movie was that the dad hung himself with his pants down.
Lmao
I guess he jerked off while he was suffocating. ...what? Like THAT was the disturbing thing in this movie.
Battle Royal: Who are you? Danganronpa: I am you but with more free time events
8:31 I think Tarantino would be proud of that scene.
Lol , conveniently it's his favorite movie.
Remember everyone Hunger Games is just a cheap knock off of this.
+Justin Rycaj Suzanne Collins said that she had never heard of the battle royale, and I don't blame her because it's really not popular in America, and she's not Japanese. My grandma told me that Battle Royale copied off of a book itself too.
TheAntGamer lies is objective lies.
+TheAntGamer It was based off a Manga of the same name, different than some American Jew copying it, giving it no credit, and claiming she has never heard of it.
+Rectal Prolapse yeah. I kinda agree with you, but my mom said that the manga itself copied off of a book that was made in the 70s
TheAntGamer Well yes there was a Stephen King book that was similar, but I have never read the book so I cant comment, I have only watched the Hunger games and BR and it just seems like HG is a dumbed down version for a mainstream audience.
Bullets don't pierce wood. Same bullets have trouble killing people. Holy crap the bullet logic in this movie makes more sense than I originally thought.
Um... bullets do pierce wood. Maybe not through a whole thick three trunk, but bullets will go through wooden planks quite easily.
TheMohawkNinja What he was saying is that the bullets in this movie having a hard time killing people and them not going through the wood actually adds up. he wasn't saying it was in any way realistic.
Mr Bop thank you
referring to 7:10 and 11:44
I think that in this movie, the bullets are actually just red paintballs.
Little did anyone know this would ruin gaming history forever
And that’s the tea.
Cinema Sins *BATTLE ROYALE*
5:03 _"This girl is still moving after being riddled with hundreds of bullets"_ You'd be surprised... Someone once thought it would be funny to show me and a group of friends a clip from a recording that may as well have been a snuff movie, where a guy being executed with full automatic firearms. Even after taking several bursts across the body and even the FACE, shattering his lower jaw, only to be dangling by strings of sinew, the guy was still squirming in pain for *minutes.* I friggin' hate guns. It's not like you see in movies, where a person takes one shot to the body and he's down and out. Unless you are shot directly in the heart, brain or something equally essential to being _alive,_ your death could easily be long and painful, if no help is around. I still loved Battle Royal. Saw it AGES ago.
Where do I find this execution video, assuming you aren't just bullshitting?
GrAnna Mator Beats me. Like I said, it was someone else showing it to me and granted the guys had the video clip on a *floppy disk* it must've been 15+/- years ago. This was _ye' olde times_ of the internet, back when videos like that were passed around and via P2P services like Napster and whatnot. I'm not into that kind of stuff, so I really cannot tell you where to look, nor encourage you or anyone else to.
***** Keep in mind, it was also at a time where Napster or Kazaa, etc were up and running. People couldn't really download large files very effectively, so everything was highly compressed. Everyone were mostly using modems _(I was sporting a fine 512kb/s one back in my days that hijacked the phone-line of the house while in use)_ So the video was around the same dimension of a KZhead thumbnail and the same quality as all those highly compressed foreign UFO/Dragon/Ghost/Chupacabra/etc. hoax videos around on YT today. The video was less than a minute, but you could tell it was shot over several minutes as the camera guy was altering his distance and angle between shots (quite literally).
Ianoodin No thanks. We're of two different worlds, I can tell.
Ianoodin Then I'm _Captain Obvious._ Congratulations; you. Wanna be my sidekick, _'Observation Boy'?_
1:56 - The cute video girl, Miyamura Yuko was also the seiyu (voice actor) for Asuka Langley Soryu in Neon Genesis Evangelion, Chun-Li in various incarnations of Street Fighter until 4, and in live action, was Hayase Kyoko, the successor to Beast-Demon Hunter Zeek in Kyukyu Sentai GoGo Five, better known by its American adaptation Power Rangers Lightspeed Rescue
NEEEEEEEEEEEERD! :) But thank you for those informations.
You're welcome, and there's plenty more where that came from!
tl;dr
i knew she was hayase kyoko cause i liked gogo-v
Oh, looks like we got an otaku over here. But seriously, it's cool to know that Asuka was in this movie too.
I love this movie so much, But watching this video made me laugh even more. Love you guys!

This was so much better than hunger games.
so true
Naw.
I disagree.
+Wonder Brat you haven't even seen it.
the last 2 were boring as hell
5:54 That's the actress that played Gogo Yubari in Kill Bill.
Seriously?!
Yup, her name is Chiaki Kuriyama.
terminaldeity I knew she look familiar
I think it’s ironic that she’s wearing a yellow outfit with a black stripe down either sleeve.
The premise of the movie could have been so much better. "In response to excessive student violence and disobedience, the government passed a law where the members of the worst behaved class would be executed. This was then later modified to instead have the members of the class compete to identify a single member who would be not be executed. Over several years, this became the annual Battle Royale competition."
3:20 haven't you watched anime, that's how japanese blood works
Is this entire movie going to be in non-American?!
*I've got an idea for a "Demon Rank"!!* >:D plus.google.com/app/basic/stream/z13ejdc4awfifdern04cetbx4tr3ev15r5s?cbp=tfht8xn1xfpl&sview=2&cid=5&soc-app=115&soc-platform=1&spath=/app/basic/stream ★
Zaal the Dragon dude, can you not post this comment on ALL MY POSTS? Only in the relevant ones please.
non-american? i think you mean "not english" (im a shit speller, i know.)
*He probably means it's not gonna be available in American dub.*
*You can't read a movie!!* XD
8:00 That is the problem with adaptations. You can't really put everything from the original in it, thus opening quite a few plot holes. It was originally a novel, turned manga, turned film. I haven't read the novel, but the manga flushes out some of the students back stories. If I am not mistaken the girl (Mitsuko Souma) in that shot is quite crazy, due to being raped at a young age by her stepfather. She latter used her body to seduce and then manipulate a local thug into killing her stepfather (she was still far too young at that point). The whole point of the characters is that she is a sociopath, who hates men, but uses sex to manipulate them and get close to them before killing them. The mutilated genitals make sense if you know her back story. Of course the movie sin of "WTF and I watching" is quite correctly given because her back story as never shown. The movie originally had a different back story for her, in which she was attacked by one of her mother boyfriends, resulting in her pushing him down a staircase thus killing him, but that scene was cut out for time and later released in the Special edition. And yeah I am a NEEEEEERD!!!!!
6:14 in the film, Kawada is three years older than the class, which would put him at 18, which is old enough to buy alcohol in Japan.
Oh yeah right...he did say he join the first game with his girl 3 three years ago.lmao i never figure that out
4:38 This part KILLED ME😂😂
PUBG : Japanese Server
Yefta Tauran ikr looolll
Fitting since noone can aim for shit.
Frederic Günkel probably because their play osu and H games so much
Yefta Tauran if japan didnt made anime they would pro at fps game coz their country are best friend w/ america also they can beat russian at 1904 i guess
Yefta Tauran yeah but this dude that's talking is annoying
“is this whole movie gonna be non american?” wooooooowwwwwwwwww that sin made me super salty
really? lol
YES.
Pretty sure that is the point. It is comedy after all.
@Black Violet typical ignorant Americans
someone doesn't get a joke. Oh by the way, Trump recently passed a resolution calling our language American from here on out instead of English. American is now the official language of the U.S. as well.
6:25 That was the final circle, that's why there's so many bodies in that particular location Also a llama was there
This is one the best movies ever it gave me so much inspiration. It really helped me in my adult life
I only just watched this film. pretty good
I just saw it for the first time today it wasn't too bad
+Kevin Sang There's a sequel ?
It does, dont watch even watch it if youre looking for something like the first one, the second one is completely different
What's wrong with you kids just saying you kinda liked the movie? "it's ok, i guess." uhuh pretty ok whatever." It's an amazing film! Don't equivocate! And pleased don't let CinemaSins nit pick you into oblivion, they pick apart movies good and bad. They could tear apart Casablanca if they wanted to. Battle Royale is a modern classic.
The second one has a bit of a sad history, as the director died while filming it and his son took over to try and finish it.
Nothing. There is nothing wrong with Battle Royale.
"No movie is without sin."
I know, I just like to say that when he chooses a great movie to dissect.
Stuart Pid though i loved Everything wrong with, why are some points stupid? like it's a sin because it's not american? bullshit. and they are students, expecting them to shoot everyone who comes out the door is crap. even the toughest bully will cringe if the time'll come to murder someone, unless that bully, of course, has mental instability or an american. kidding with the american part.
"what are you doing up?" Thump... Grabbing a line from sneakers is digging deep into the obscure bowl. Well done.
meanwhile,the students are watching the video as if they are completley oblivious to the 2 dead students on the floor in front of them
3:36 Those are compiled volumes of manga (Japanese comics). They're a fairly common thing to own in Japan, as there are manga of every genre and their audience range from young children to even the elderly, so having that many wouldn't be uncommon, especially in a young person's messy room.
So glad there was mention of the Hunger Games being a ripoff of this amazing classic. The Hunger Games is crappy and tame compared to this XD
ANIME-SITY Old people dont watch anime.
1846drte2342342 Uh...and that has what to do with anything?
+ANIME-SITY Amazing classic is a bit of an overstatement. Pretty good though.
+ANIME-SITY I never got that. What is the appeal of the violence? "Hunger games is so much tamer..it sucks." Why? Does the strength of your erection directly relate to the amount of blood? Here's BR in a nutshell: 30 characters appear, 28 of them die. Most of them don't get any character background, ever. Random character appears, dies a gruesome death, repeat. There's maybe 5 characters who move past that and get some characterization but even that is half-ass and underdeveloped. The difference between BR and Hunger Games is that Battle Royal is a story about a deathmatch, Hunger games is a story about a society that conducts death matches and the people living in that society.
PeterK1984 For a start it's amusing how what you said about erections actually defines what an erection is XD Second, I'm not saying the Hunger Games was awful, it just appealed differently. There were two things that annoyed me about the HG: 1) It was waaay too long and drawn out with pointless garble and a protagonist who couldn't decide who she wants to bang. Seriously when you advertise films about games of death nobody wants several hours of bitching and talking about girl problems. 2) Everyone I knew went nuts over the series and treated it like this amazing thing that had never been tried before. Me being a fan of Battle Royale couldn't stand the rabid fanboys and fangirls telling me how great the HG series is when I watched them and wasn't that impressed.
Best after credits montage ever.
I remember watching this when I was in highschool. This movie was so popular among students trying to prove to other students how they're not freaked out lol
Ah yes, before Fortnite ruined everything. I can no longer hear the word Battle Royale without thinking of that mediocre, unimpressive game.
No one in particular i know, fuck fortnite, its ruined this movie just because its called battle royale
Some RandomBoi Well, ruins the title at the very least.
Fuck fortnite,pubg is way better
yeah i know pubg sucks
Jacob Schultz You aren't wrong.
