Battle Royal Ii Trailer!
<div class="IPBDescription">Holy Crap!</div> Holy crap! The trailer is out!! For those of you who watched the Japanese film "Battle Royal" and loved it, you *WILL* love this trailer.
For those of you who haven't watched the movie, it's a movie that addresses the social tensions between the youth and adults in modern Japan.
The general outline, since the trailer is in Japanese:
<i>Cliff Notes: </i>
<b>1) </b>Adults are fed up with the kids and their attitude towards adults.
<b>2) </b>Adults pass a new "bill" which endorses a new "game" for 15 year old kids.
<b>3) </b>The "game" consists of killing your classmates for 3 days, last one standing, wins. There can only be one alive however, since if there is 2 or more alive at the end of 3 days, they all die.
<b>4) </b>Battle Royal II looks like it's about youth uprise. This time, however, the game's objective is to kill the winner of the previous battle royal game. (now the head of the uprise/resistance)
<b>5)</b> ....
<b>6) </b>Profit!
Be warned though, the movie (and the trailer) is rather bloody and violent, and shows middle school-kids shooting/killing eachother.
But hey, you play half-life, you can take it. Well, probably not the "kids killing eachother" part.
The download link is my sig, Enjoy <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->

What the hell is with the school children getting shot at, and why are they wearing those exploding necklace things? (copied from the running man)

The "necklace" is to control the participants of the game. In the first movie, the "arena", which was a secluded island, had sections which became "off-limits" over time, intended so it draws the kids to a small area (so they can kill eachother more easily). If they were found inside the restricted or "off-limits" area, the necklace would blow up, killing whoever was wearing them.
In BR2 however, it is a "team" system, in which the participants pair up. If one dies, the other also dies via the exploding necklace.
I liked the first one because it was so unrealistic, liked the story to. Think I'm gonna like the second one.
Why are they fighting in first place, its not as if they *WANT* to die, and also... Why dont they just run away *BEFORE* they get the necklace put on them.

I think a quote from the Simpsons is appropriate here.
"Point out your plot holes elsewhere!"

Erm.. They couldn’t run away because the military had them captured, and they didn’t know they were heading for that island. Also, they got asleep in the bus that was heading for the airport, in other words, they got lurked.
eww
