The following represents any technical
goofs made in the movie. I'd just like to point out that I'm
not deliberately pointing out flaws because they spoil the movie.
I'm doing this because...well... I have no life. There! I said
it! Happy now? More goofs will be added whenever I find them...
Flipped
Negative:
- Right
before Kitano points to the board and says "Battle Royale!",
keep an eye on his back. It appears that the negative was
flipped (as Northfield Sports is written backwards) for this
shot more than likely to cover a continuity error
Kiriyama Loses
a Grenade:
- In the scene where Kiriyama
kills all of Numais gang, he picks up their weapons after
the die. Amoungst the weapons are 2 grenades, which he puts
into his bag. As he walks away, he slings the bag over his
shoulder and one of them falls out. This only becomes a goof
when later in the movie, he uses both grenades in the clinic...
On-Set
Lighting Visable:
- In the scene where Hirono confronts
Mitsuko, keep your eyes fixed on the bottom of the frame in
the above scene. Some on-set lighting is visable moving about
down there...
Mimura
Hits Iijima:
- Just after Mimura types up Yutaka
and Iijimas mission on his laptop, Mimura swipes at the two
and says "Hurry". Notice Iijima touching his face?
Thats because Mimura hit him! FIGHT! FIGHT! FIGHT!...
Wrong
Photograph:
- When Kawada decides to show
Nanahara and Noriko the photo of himself and Keiko, he takes
it out of his wallet. Look closely at the picture he takes
out. Because of the light behind him, we can actually see
the picture he is looking at, which is clearly not the one
we see moments later...
Tripping
Up:
- Not technically a goof, but
it wasn't intentional so I'm listing it here anyway. Just
before Nanahara fights with Noriko, we see them making the
trek South. The two walk up a hill and as Nanahara turns to
look at Noriko, he trips over a rock. The next trip is done
by the man himself, Takeshi Kitano. Just goes to show that
even the experts can't always keep their balance. This is
found in the scene where Kitano brings the umberella to Noriko.
Watch as he walks down the small mound of slippy mud...
