The cult Japanese movie that defines twisted action and sickening violence is ready to shock you all over again.

Arrow Video's Battle Royale Limited Edition DVD and Blu-Ray will be released on 13th December 2010. Both format releases feature brand new restored high definition transfers of both the Theatrical Cut and Director's Cut, brand new subtitle translations, limited edition packaging numbered #/5000 with certificate and a whole host of new and exclusive extra features.

In a world where teenagers have no respect and adults are losing control there can be only one solution: Battle Royale! Now, see what happens when you let a high school class loose on an island, arm them and then give them a simple choice... Kill your friends or have them kill you; with poison, cross-bows, machetes and dynamite. ‘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.

Battle Royale Limited Edition (cert. 18) will be released on Blu-ray (£29.99) and DVD (£24.99) by Arrow Video on 13th December 2010.

Kyle

X-Factor reject Wagner subjects all the islands inhabitants to mental torture by playing all of the previous years winners Christmas singles causing them to throw themselves like Lemmings off the side of a cliff.

He then prowls the island on all fours singing the lion sleeps tonight eating whatever wildlife he can find raw.

Look he already has his exploding neck brace on!

Bez from the Happy Mondays and his deadly maraccas! Beware walking those dark streets of Manchester this cold winter. If you hear the piano riff from Step On .. get out fast! He's "mad for it!"

Chuck Norris.....his weapon?....Chuck Norris.....

Franco Nero (as Django) wipes out the entire island with his Gatling gun!

John Holmes ... his weapon .. his ....

Ooops wrong site .. sorry .. my bad :eek:

:blush:

I guess he would beat all others tho!

katie Price....her weapon?....two mighty Nukes and a face like a haggared hooker.

John Matrix and a Rocket launcher....he's done it before....

Lloyd Christmas (Jim Carrey) from Dumb & Dumber + his favourite weapon of choice - a bottle of laxatives. That'll do all of them :)

David Hasselhoff, his weapon a Botox syringe.
He could sneak up and freeze opponnets while he beats them to death plus he can use it to freeze himself while hiding enabling him to not give his position by any sudden movement.
