crazy asians indeed...
yo BigRuiz, "Battle Royale" 1 & 2 have both been BANNED from being sold in the U.S. like at Best Buy and other stores, but you can still buy them online. If you have the dough, try to get the special edition one with deleted scenes and footage of Quentin Tarantino showin love to Battle Royale and their director Kinji Fukasaku who passed away while making BR 2.
if you're interested in checking out other cool asian films, check out:
-VERSUS...a horror,yakuza,comedy, action, mystery film all rolled into one giant bloodbath in a forrest filled with damn near every type of fighting!!!BLADE meets Terminator meets Dawn Of The Dead, meets Pulp Fiction!!
-ICHI THE KILLER (You can rent this at SOME Hollywood Video and Blockbuster stores)
http://www.IchiTheKiller.com S&M,rape, comedy, violence, mutilation, gang wars!!,etc etc...if you have a weak stomach for violence, do not rent or buy this shit! has one of THE MOST CONTROVERSIAL AND WEIRD ENDINGS EVER!!! WATCH FOR YOURSELF!!
-AZUMI...Same director as in VERSUS, a great fantasy movie with GREAT swordplay...a nice lookin chick warrior wanting to be a samurai to defend her master and classmates' deaths... innovative camera angles and violence!
-Volcano High, (the real version, not the MTV version dubbed over with rappers' voices and missing scenes!) Movie about a boy who's a misfit with secret powers sent to a new school filled with bullies and different clicques....brawls go on between him, students and even the teachers! This shit has WAYYY BETTER action scenes and visuals than THE MATRIX!
-ZATOICHI..(The blind swordsman)starring the old man in Battle Royale movies!! A blind man with a sword...decapitations!! way more blood & violence than Daredevil! lol, this movie even has a little Tech N9ne step routine at the end!! LOL!!
-BROTHER.. In my opinion, the new millenium Scarface!!!starring the same old man from BR 1 &2 and Zatoichi about his character that's in a Yakuza, but moves to Los Angeles to build a NEW yakuza consisting of blacks and asians feuding with whites,mexicans, etc....great movie because it's mixed with Japanese and English language via Omar Epps, Tatyana Ali, Beat Takeshi, etc.
