Battle Royale II: Requiem
Directed by Kinji Fukasaku and Kenta Fukasaku • 2003 • Japan
Starring Shugo Oshinari, Ai Maeda, Tatsuya Fujiwara
The sequel to Kinji Fukasaku’s cult sensation—begun by the veteran director but completed by his son Kenta Fukasaku following his death—was no less controversial thanks to its incendiary, boldly anti-American political themes. Three years after the Battle Royale of the first film, the survivors have formed a terrorist outfit known as the Wild Seven with the intent of bringing down the Japanese government. In response, the regime recruits a new crop of deadly high school students to hunt down and kill the rebels.
