Things We Learned From Battle Royale II

1) You can send one guy to randomly record people on the street and pass it off as a fond memory.

2) Everyone has to say a long, drawn out, and altogether boring speech before they die.

3) All guerrillas have a pristine piano in their hideout.

4) It's easier to make an elaborate scheme to take out a terrorist leader than it is to firebomb his complex.

5) If you pee your pants in the middle of battle, it won't leave any stains.

6) 11 teenagers with no combat experience can turn the tide of a terrorist battle against a special forces unit, and consequently require emergency assistance.

7) Soldiers always stop fighting and even remain wholly absent when the students' teacher has a confrontation with them.

dont disturb your teacher when he's popping his pills
teachers love to play football with their students, esp. wearing an exploding collar

I think Riki saw the script and said *beep* it, I am going to be as deviously over the top as I can possibly be. Kind of like Nic Cage in Wickerman, so over the top a performance that it is fun.

HI *beep* YA
Nicholas Cage Deadfall

That somehow the same long barrel single shot sniper rifle from the beach can fire like a old .50 German Heavy machine gun.

That somehow the line of fire can stretch through walls on the said buildings western and eastern sides while having a no clipping effect(walls there)

Somehow the govt really doesn't want to kill the "evil" leader. Because using just troops to do it without fire support or naval support is a waste..yet they can fly a helicopter around for jollies..and not even armed.

Somehow those supposed regular machine-gun's bullets(7.62mm or 40mm possible)can reach a beach that's farther than Normandy beaches were for invading distance with long barrel (sniper rifle) accuracy. and that somehow a heavy placed .50 caliber if that's what it was. was picked up and carried off in less than 2 minutes by one or two people who could barely lift a Ak-47 by themselves. Again this is a double whammy

That its always good to give your soldiers the typical under barrel 30mm grenade launcher..with no grenades.

just my observations

So you maintain that the continent of Panem is on Earth? In BR2 it was just called the Republic of Greater East Asia. Much more disturbing when happens so close to home, in my opinion...

8.) These lists are stupid... you could be reading a book or do something meaningful.

8) Soldiers will stop shooting long enough for you to have a frantic conversation or, most importantly, say above boring death monologue.

9) Explosive collars around your neck will wait for you to go through all the phases of panic and despair and then, acceptance, before they obliterate your neck, even if it takes fifteen freakin' minutes (by then, it's a mercy killing...for everyone else)

10) You are only given a name and a level of importance after you have been shot and your partner's collar is about to explode (in fifteen minutes). Otherwise, we don't really know who you are, nor do we care.

11) A sequel to "Battle Royale" sounds like a good idea. What's the key word, kiddies?

the extended recut "revenge version" is way better that the theatrical, but causes more long boring dialouge

14) It officially holds the record for "most pointless scenes in a movie" according to "the big book of stupid records".

There are only 2 movies I walked out from mid-movie. This was one of them. The other one? Well, of course; Notting Hill.

I think nothing would actually save BRII from being a total disaster, but at least if they realized that sometimes, less is more, it would help a lot.

12. Its better to send a bunch of untrained schoolchildren after wanted terrorists, even though you have seemingly hundreds of soldiers waiting to take over if they fail.
13. When you really want a group of terrorists killed, the best way to do it is to give the assassins a load of arbitrary rules that result in most of them dying for no reason.
