Battle Royale II

Few Japanese films in recent memory have caused such controversy and commotion as Battle Royale. Directed by the late great Kinji Fukasaku, the brilliant heart-stopping thriller portrayed a junior high school class lucky enough to be chosen and taken to an island where the 42 students are forced to kill one another until the last boy or girl is left standing. Based on the novel by Koshun Takami, Fukasaku worked on the script with his son Kenta. Now comes the much anticipated sequel, Battle Royale II, based on an original story by the Fukasakus. Like James Cameron's 'Aliens,' its tagline reads "This time it's war" ...And it is! It's been a few years since Shuya and Noriko survived their BR bloodbath. They're now known as the head of a terrorist group known as the Wild Seven who blew up a series of skyscrapers. This time, the government decides to send the latest bunch of BR candidates to eliminate them. The group includes Shiori Kitano, the daughter of Kitano (Takeshi 'Beat' Kitano), the teacher and the director of the BR program who was killed by Shuya and Noriko. The group has only three days to finish the job, and again, they must wear dog collars that explode. This time round however, the same numbered students are connected through the collars, and if one dies, the other's dog collar explodes. With even bigger actions than the first movie, BRII racks up a body count that would make Freddy and Jason envious.
