No No No No No No No No No !!!!!!!!!!
I need to watch these flicks like azumi to catch up with you people. I just looked battle royale up on imdb to see what it is about,
"For someone who's a Shaolin monk, your kung fu's really lousy!"
"What, you're dead? You die easy!"
"Hold on now. I said I would forget your doings, but I didn't promise to spare your life. Take his head."
“I don’t usually smoke this brand, but I’ll do it for you.”
"When all this is over, Tan Hai Chi, I will kick your head off and put it on my brother's grave!
"I regard hardships as part of my training. I don't need to relax."
Make sure you watch:
1. Azumi
2.Battle Royale
3. Zatocihi (Takeshi Kitano)
4. Lone Wolf and Cub ( Babycart)
Also Arahan is excellent, quite amusing!I would avoid Azumi 2 as it really isn't great and the plot is quite questionable, as are the Ninjas!
I'll be asking questions about all of the above Jethro!
But I have seen a couple of the baby cart movies. Good stuff.
"I am the assasin lone wolf and cub, at your service!
"For someone who's a Shaolin monk, your kung fu's really lousy!"
"What, you're dead? You die easy!"
"Hold on now. I said I would forget your doings, but I didn't promise to spare your life. Take his head."
“I don’t usually smoke this brand, but I’ll do it for you.”
"When all this is over, Tan Hai Chi, I will kick your head off and put it on my brother's grave!

I'm not too keen on the the idea of remaking Battle Royale. The original was so ... original. I've seen most of the other Asian remade movies that Roy Lee produced, and I don't really think *any* of them were either better than the originals or even really added anything noteworthy or unique. I would probably go see it just out of curiosity but don't have my hopes up.
On another note, one of my favorite parts of the original was the video the kids had to watch where the cute-as-a-button girl was explaining the rules and what not ... I liked how she was cheerful and all smiles when you consider what she was telling them -- was strange and condradictory in a very satisfying way somehow.
