Battle Royale (2000) is set in the future where the Japanese government have passed the Battle Royale act. A class of school children are trapped on an island, given weapons and pan lids and told to kill each other until one is left.
The film mainly follows the trials and tribulations of Nanahara and Noriko and includes some amazing fight sequences and intense drama. The film also stars Chiaki Kuriyama who went on to appear in Kill Bill Part 1 playing Gogo Yibari an associate of O-Ren Ishii. She is cast as a severely disturbed 17-year-old schoolgirl who enjoys killing for fun - type casting?
This film was adapted from a book by Koushun Takami and directed by Kinji Fukasaku. Check out the trailer and some screen shots after the jump.
