I just watched Battle Royale for the first time in about a year, and I was reminded of how much I love it! I've got the Korean import Director's Cut... some of the subtitles are baaad, but the picture quality is good and there are some extra blood effects and additional scenes.
Here's a quiz I made:
How would you die in a Battle Royale? Post the results in the comments or on your own journals (but not as separate posts in this community). :)
You draw too much attention to yourself. (Yukiko #6
and Kusaka #7) You attempted to organize your
classmates so you could work out a peaceful
solution. Unfortunately though, your megaphone
not only draws pacifists but also psycopathic
killers with no mercy.

Quizilla You blow yourself up. (Mimura #19) Well, your
hacking software worked. You and your friends
could have overthrown the people running the
game if it weren't for that pest Kiriyama. In
the end, your glorious plan doesn't come into
fruition and your friends die, so you sacrifice
yourself in an attempt to kill Kiriyama.
How would you die in a Battle Royale? brought to you by
Quizilla You get stabbed repeatedly in the crotch. (Niida
#16) Your death is definitely the most painful
of anyone's. However, no one sympathizes with
you because you tried to force a girl to have
nonconsentual sex. So your peepee definitely
got what it deserved.
How would you die in a Battle Royale? brought to you by
Quizilla You don't die. You survive! (Nanahara #15, Nakagawa
#15) Hooray. Lucky for you two lovebirds, you
survived the game. And you did it through mind
over recklessness (and a little help from
Kawada). Very impressive considering you
started out with the crappiest weapons of
anybody. Nice job.
How would you die in a Battle Royale? brought to you by
Quizilla Your best friend impales you. (Inada #1, Kaori #20)
Could you kill your best friend? Well, yes, you
could. When the stakes are this high, even the
closest of friendships are hard to maintain.
How would you die in a Battle Royale? brought to you by
Quizilla You get your head blown off in a flame-ridden
field. (Kiriyama #6) You were doing so well
too. Up to this point, your death count had
been 10. But unfortunately, the explosion
blinded you and allowed the other bad-ass to
come in and kill you. You totally got 0wn'd.
How would you die in a Battle Royale? brought to you by
Quizilla Your friends turn on you. (Utsumi #2) You rallied
your close group of friends together. You may
have all survived if an unfortunate poisoning
incident hadn't caused your friends to turn on
you faster than you can say, Hilary Rodham
Clinton.
How would you die in a Battle Royale? brought to you by
Quizilla You get shot by the one you love. (Sugimura #11)
Love bites, doesn't it? You spent the whole
game searching for the girl you love so you
could rescue her. But she was foolish and
thought you were out to get her so she killed
you. Le sigh.
How would you die in a Battle Royale? brought to you by
Quizilla Your necklace explodes. (Kuninobu #7) Even though
you're quite harmless and merely misguided,
adults think that you're a troublemaker. They
think that you're impotent so they trigger the
bomb in your collar even before the game
begins. That's harsh.
How would you die in a Battle Royale? brought to you by
Quizilla You jump off a cliff. (Ogawa #4, Yumamato #21) You
said you'd never play this game, so you guys
committed suicide. While it's admirable that
you wouldn't kill any of your classmates, it
doesn't really afford you a chance for survival
either.
How would you die in a Battle Royale? brought to you by
Quizilla You die from bullet wounds post-game. (Kawada #5)
You were quite the hero in the game. You swiped
the data to avenge your girlfriend, you helped
the young couple survive, AND you killed the
psychotic killer. But the injuries sustained
from all these heroic acts get the best of you
in the end. *Tear.
