    Total rip-off of The Hunger Games.

    Which (and let's not forget), is pretty much a rip off of William Golding's, Lord Of The Flies.

    I do like Battle Royale - it's not often you'll find quality world cinema DVDs/Blu's reduced.

    One of the best films ever made, and an egg salad price for this 3 disc version!

    Neither film is anything like Lord of the Flies, have you read or seen any of them?

    However both Battle Royale and Hunger Games are very good films with a similar theme

    Hunger games is bloody awful. Battle Royale is absolutely brilliant.

    Yeah but couldn't you just work it out? I mean, since when is there such a thing as a "Disc Edition" ?

    Yeah if it's the same as this version http://www.blu-ray.com/movies/Battle-Royale-Blu-ray/14917/

    'Both cuts have been struck from a dated source. As result, fine object detail and clarity are inconsistent. Contrast levels also fluctuate quite a bit, especially during the daylight scenes. Both cuts have an overall soft look - the Theatrical Cut appears marginally sharper, but the difference is indeed very small. Some of the softness is inherited, but I also noticed numerous traces of mild to moderate noise corrections. Mild edge-enhancement is also easy to spot. Various small compression artifacts are present as well. This being said, there are no serious stability issues, and a lot of the background flicker that is present on the Tartan SE SDVD edition of Battle Royale has been eliminated.'
