I'll be picking this up as I [for some reason] have yet to own this movie. What an awesome flick, though.

It's a shame the 2nd one sucked so bad I didn't even make it past like 30 minutes.

Although I won't be picking this up, Battle Royale is still a @#$%-ing amazing movie.

Fully agree with you on the sequel, Mike.

Still don't know why I don't own this... I mean, yeah, it's fucking great... what's wrong with me?
Oh well, at least maybe I can convince my aunt to let me borrow her copy...
