Eiga wa Senjo
da (Making a Movie is War) - Kinji Fukasaku in Battle Royale At nearly four hours, this is an exhaustive documentary about the movie and its director. Originally only available in a costly 2-tape VHS set (7800 yen) and hard to find, the video is being released on DVD in conjunction with the BR sequel, Fukasaku's final work. The DVD (R2, NTSC)release includes several new segments, including behind-the-scenes footage of Battle Royale: Special Version and BR cast members sharing their thoughts upon Kinji Fukasaku's death. The DVD is available at CDJapan. Screenshots of highlights from the documentary (with some movie SPOILERS) are here. |

Gaiden was finally subtitled in English and released along with the Special Version of the movie in England by Tartan Video. . |

Saigo
no Senjo (The Last Battlefield of Kinji Fukasaku): BRII's counterpart to Eiga wa Senjo Da, this DVD doesn't dissect scenes from the movie the way EWSD does (and thus clocks in at about 90 minutes), but it still offers the filmmakers' perspective on the production. There's considerable time devoted to Kinji Fukasaku's involvement in the film and the effect his departure and death had on the film. Available at Amazon Japan. |
