Battle Royale Complete DVD Battle Royale Complete Combo Pack  Battle Royale Blu-ray

Battle Royale and Battle Royale II are among the most brutally poetic films ever made. Often copied [you can see Battle Royale echoed in the story of The Hunger Games, for example], but never equaled, the films have been banned in many markets, but fans keep finding ways to get them.
