BATTLE ROYALE II: REQUIEM
[Batoru Rowairu II: Rekuiemu]
(Japan - 2003)
Aspect ratio: 1.85:1
Theatrical soundtrack: Dolby Digital
Under the new Battle Royale Act, a group of unruly juveniles is taken to a remote island and forced to engage in mortal combat with another set of teenagers who have defied the Act by engaging in militant activities.
Disappointing sequel to the magnificent BATTLE ROYALE (2000), completed by Kenta Fukasaku following the death of his father Kinji during production. The movie is no less bombastic than its predecessor, though it lacks the element of surprise and is further weakened by a meandering plot line which heads in fairly obvious directions. More controversially, Fukasaku's script (co-written with Norio Kida) launches a blistering - though indirect - attack on American foreign policy, which it blames for fomenting unrest in Arab nations, leading to the events of 11 September 2001 and subsequent terrorist attacks on international targets. This probably accounts for the film's lack of exposure in American theaters!
Teen idol Tatsuya Fujiwara makes a welcome return from the first film, playing the disillusioned leader of an uprising against 'fascist' adults and their murderous regulations, and 'Beat' Takeshi Kitano appears briefly in a minor cameo. However, the film is undermined by Riki Takeuchi as the former teacher with a grudge against Fujiwara's rebellious clan, giving a cartoonish performance as the chief villain.
DVD Review: War Ensemble
Summary: 5 Stars
This being a sequel, most people tend to think it is an inferior product. Quite the opposite as most reviewers on here seem to be missing the point. WAR!
War itself is not prejudiced. It does not matter how young or old you are, nor does it matter your race, sex, IQ. The point being here, is that war is always declared by people sitting in a room and then they tell others to go out and finish what has been started.
The storyline in this film is simple. The BR act has spawned an enemy of past BR survivors which are to be looked at as terrorists (post 9/11 influence). Now, a class of unsuspecting students are "drafted" to fight a war.
The scene where the teacher is giving the daily "death tolls" over the loud speaker as "Silent Night" is heard playing. Somewhat poetic.
Maybe this is too tough of a concept for most viewers to fathom about the harshness of how the real world is!?
In short Battle Royale II kicks major butt, better than the first.
DVD Review: 1.5 stars out of 4
Summary: 1 Stars
The Bottom Line:
An unnecessary, stupid, and horribly boring sequel to the fascinating Battle Royale, number II should be avoided at all costs by anyone who likes their movies to make sense, be interesting, or have some modicum of ability behind or in front of the camera.
DVD Review: Disappointment
Summary: 1 Stars
I was very disappointed int eh quality of the movie because it would constantly go out of sync, the movie would skip so far ahead and sometimes restart to the title screen. The cover wasn't as it was advertised and it felt like a waste of money.
Description of Battle Royale 2 Revenge Uncut SE
This brand new revenge edition is 17 minutes longer then the previous release. The language is Japanese with English Subtitles. Extra features include: Footage from the movie's gala premiere, Alternate "Farewell to the Piano", Warsaw Orchestra scene, Trailers and TV spots, Theatrical premiere stage greeting, Kinji Fukasaku birthday stage greeting, Deleted scenes, Behind the scenes specials, and more! Before Kinji Fukasaku passed away he vowed to spend the last of his days working on the sequel to 2000's Battle Royale. Despite his illness, Kinji turned down 24 hour medical assistance in favour of finishing as much as he could, knowing that no amount of treatment could help him at his terminal stage. When he passed away the directing reigns were handed down to his son, Kenta who finally presented an eagerly awaiting world with Battle Royale II. Part II takes place three years after the events of the original BR program and sees survivor Nanahara taking charge of anti-state organisation terrorist outfit: "The Wild Seven". His organisation has declared war on the adults who previously forced school kids to engage in war under the BR regime. The government finds itself in a desperate situation and passes a new anti-terrorism act called Battle Royale II. The class 3-B of Shikanotoride high school are taking a school trip by bus and upon waking up they find themselves wearing metal collars and taken by a military outfit to a secret location. Here they meet their sensei, Riki Takeuchi who tells them that they have three days to hunt down and kill Nanahara or face a certain death by his hands. Given soldier's uniforms and machine guns they are soon sent out to the island where Nanahara and his group are hiding. The fight for survival begins once more.Asian Cinema DVDs
