    • Trivia
      Quentin Tarantino was offered a role but couldn't do it because of scheduling. He said, "They wanted me to play the President of the United States."
    • Goofs
      During the gunfight between the terrorists and the students, in the rundown building, a cable can be seen supporting Kurosawa.
    • Quotes

      Shiori Kitano: The thing people fear most isn't dying, it's being forgotten.

    • Crazy credits
      Towards the end of the credits a flag is shown, followed by black and white stills from the action sequences in the movie and then a black and white photo of the whole class that participated in the BR2 act, then another BW still of Nanahara and his comrades, and lastly a BW shot of director Kinji Fukasaku.
    • Alternate versions
      In UK, the extended version had to be cut by 8 seconds. The one cut required was to remove the Japanese text and English subtitle which state: "This film is restricted to aged 15 and over," in order to avoid confusion as it received an 18 rating from BBFC.

    This one's a mess
    After loving the first battle royale, I was extremely disappointed in this and struggled to make it through the whole movie.

    Most of the faults have already been pointed out. The acting (not really a feature of even the first film) is laughable. Fujiwara, who was well cast as the naive Shuya in the first film, looks totally out of place as a hard bitten terrorist/freedom fighter.

    The rugby coach was one of the worst actors I have ever seen, hardly a suitable replacement for Kitano.

    The direction is full of choppy cuts, meant to convey a sense of fast paced action but effectively just turns the movie into a bloody mess.

    Obviously the movie wasn't helped by the untimely demise of the director. Avoid this one and watch the first instead.
