Battle Royale 2
Directed by Kenta Fukasaku and Kinji Fukasaku
Whoaaaaaaaaa
First of all - had to do some research after watching this because I was atonished that it was such a giant FLOP
This is what I learned - Kenta is Kinji's son and Kinji (who directed the 'Battle Royale') DIED (MAY GOD REST HIS SOUL) he died after filming only one scene for the movie, and then his son took over afterwards.
That particular situation is quite a story in itself really (inception style) but the end result was not quite as hollywood and fantastical as a movie about the making of that movie could be (follow me?) meaning - Battle Royale 2 was absolutely terrible. However, if one were to make a movie about the story of Kenta, I'm sure it would end with him directing an amazing film in the name of his pops.
The film was not another class of students going to an island to kill each other - instead a new class of students was going to an island to fight a rebel force that is being led by the survivor from Battle Royale one......... It was a horrible attempt at an epic war film. At first I was thinking - damn, some people can't make epic war films quite like the U.S. .. but perhaps the crappy scenes are more a result of a first time director.
If you are a true fan of Battle Royale - idk how you haven't seen the sequel yet - if you just 'saw it an liked ' then don't bother watching the sequel because it's pretty crappy (i guess unless you are looking to see a crappy film so you can laugh at it)
