One of the most controversial films in history, now available for the first time ever in America! in 2000, director Kinji Fukasaku unleashed BATTLE ROYALE, his violently poetic epic about an innocent group of Junior High students forced by the government to hunt and kill their classmates for sport. It was nominated for 10 Japanese Academy Awards, launched a global phenomenon, and banned from screens by frightened civic groups and distributors across America. Three years later, the equally distur

The sun is setting on the first day of The Program, and the students of Class B are in for one hell of a night. With the failure of their initial plan to take down The Program, Shinji Mimura and Yutaka Sato are putting their backup plan in motion. Having located all the supplies necessary to create a bomb, the pair are all set to deliver their package right where it will do the most damage: the "school" which serves as The Program control center. But with the school in a permanent danger zone, will it be their bomb that detonates first... or the explosive collars locked around their necks?

Of the original 42 students forced to kill or be killed by The Program, only five remain alive...but the chilling carnage is far from over!Kazuo Kiriyama and Mitsuko Souma are responsible for the majority of deaths on the island, and now the two murderers finally come face-to-face. But when a cold-hearted killer boy meets a psychotic, savagely sexual girl, will they unleash their lethal skills on one another or will this match made in Hell be the beginning of an inhuman partnership?

Paul's a normal teenager: he likes sports, junk food, and action movies--he even wants to be in one someday. But what seems like Paul's big break, his very first acting role, quickly takes a turn for the worse. One minute he's on a festive bus heading for a new life of stardom, and the next, he's hurtling toward the ground and certain death. Though saved at the last minute by an unexplained parachute, things don't get any easier when Paul lands: he's lost on an unknown island, he's unable to speak, and every time he sees someone else, he hears strange noises and then blacks out . . . before falling from the sky again. But when a girl inexplicably saves him (and spray paints him) instead of attacking, Paul starts to learn the survival basics. Bit by bit, he must explore his surroundings, build structures, evade violent storms, unlock the mysteries of his strange island prison, and maybe--just maybe--find a way out.

"Griffen is an excellent choice to make the material live for the English-speaking audience, handling the teen dialects well and making the most of the dark humor. "-- Chris Allen, Movie Poop Shoot "Based on the cult novel and live-action Japanese film of the same name, Royale hits all the manga bases (martial arts, creepy old men, panty shots) without being Sailor Moon silly... A- "-- Marc Bernardin, Entertainment Weekly "Battle Royale, for all its violence, is a dramatic and addictive story."-- Alan David Doane - Comic Book Galaxy "Battle Royale is a very controversial series that is not for the squeamish or easily offended. It is a great series for those who appreciate the absurdity of it all and not take it too seriously. However be forewarned that this is a really disturbing series that gets worse and worse as it goes on. Quoting Keith Giffen, who did the English adaptations to Battle Royale, 'I had to call my lawyer to find out if it was even legal for me to look at this.' -- A"-- Naota Nanadaba, The Ticker "Taguchi's straight-ahead storytelling and Giffen's superior adaptation make the gore easy to follow. The book's scenes of torture, implied rape and killing combine the horror and extreme violence of A Clockwork Orange with Lord of the Flies' exploration of human nature and depravity and aren't for the faint of heart."-- Publishers Weekly "Battle Royale is full of sick thrills but is so plausibly plotted and well-written that it is impossible to dismiss it as just another stereotyped imitation of a bloody video game. It is frighteningly believable. 'Kill or be killed, Little Warriors!'"-- Newtype Magazine "Feel like crossing the line, perhaps taking in something of such magnitude that the pages actually jump into your head? Look no further. Run, don't walk, to your nearest book dealer and feast your senses on Battle Royale..."-- Play
