Battle Royale: Limited Edition (To 10,000) £16.99 @ Amazon
At the dawn of the new millennium, Japan is in a a state of near-collapse. Unemployment is at an all-time high, and violence among the nation's youth is spiraling out of control. With schoolchildren boycotting their classes and physically abusing their teachers, a beleaguered and near-defeated government decides to introduce a radical new measure: the Battle Royale Act Overseen by their former teacher ( Beat Takeshi) Kitano and requiring that a randomly chosen school class is taken to a deserted island and forced to fight each other to the death, the Act dictates that only one pupil is allowed to survive the punishment. He or she will return, not as the victor, but as the ultimate proof of the lengths to which the government is prepared to go to curb the tide of juvenile disobedience. One of the most controversial films of all time, clever, creepy and ultra-violent, Battle Royale is the jewel in the crown of Japanese Shock Cinema.

Jump to unread Post a CommentIf your a big fan and your tempted just a tiny bit then you might be sorry if you wait for the price to come down. This edition is limited to 10,000 worldwide and it is region free too, so people will be importing this version from all over the world.
You mean the first 5000 will be numbered?
Think they initially said they were releasing 5000 copies then they came out to say it will be 10,000 but once they sell out they will just release a special edition but well worth grabbing this one
And I am sure most with the certificate would have been reserved or wil be taken by shop staff.

I'm sure the certificate would be inside, so no way of telling which ones have one.
Not sure, that's the info on Arrows website, i thought it was limited to 5000 copies, not 10000.
It says 10,000 on Arrow Films website, maybe it means 5000 on Blu and 5000 on DVD.

So it does, was due to be released as 5000, but doubled to 10000 due to demand :)

Correct, due to high demand they increased the blu-ray allocation from 5000 to 10000.
The DVDs however are still having a 5000 run.
You would be a fool to let this set slide. The Limited Edition will go out of stock soon enough, and the replacement Special Edition has the same discs but has less content.
