BATTLE ROYALE : SPECIAL VERSION


On April 7th 2001, a new version of Battle Royale was released in Japan. The "Special Version" revisited the movie, making around 100 edits to audio and visuals bringing the running time from 113 mins to 122mins. Many people believe this to be a toned-down version but I can assure you that the violence is not cut in any way. In-fact, you could argue that this is more-violent than the original as CG blood was added to some deaths. What follows is a detailed description of all (or as many I can find) the additions in the Special Version. This section will be completed in parts as the run up to the UK release of Special Version draws closer. If you have spotted any more additions (especially ones to do with audio) I would very much appreciate you contact me

Please note: for the purposes of this section, I have taken all screencaps and timings from the Region 2 NTSC Japanese DVD. As soon as the PAL DVD becomes available, I will add those times also
