Battle Royale II: Requiem is the controversial sequel to the cult Japanese dystopian thriller. This time, a new class of students is forced into lethal combat as part of a government mission to assassinate a rebel leader — a former survivor of the first Battle Royale. Mixing brutal action, war commentary, and survival horror, the film expands the original’s themes into a chaotic clash of youth rebellion, authoritarian violence, and moral corruption.

BATTLE ROYALE IS BACK, AND BIGGER, BOLDER AND BLOODIER THAN EVER!
Three years after the original Battle Royale, the sole survivor of the bloody games, Shuya Nanahara (Tatsuya Fujiwara) has gone into hiding, leading a secret terrorist outfit named the Wild Seven whose goal is to bring down the authoritarian regime that tried to kill him. In retaliation for an attack on Tokyo, the government abducts a fresh batch of junior high school delinquents, equipping them with a deadly arsenal of weapons and explosive collars that prevent their submission, and orders them to bring Nanahara down in a deadly-kill-or-be killed assault on the Wild Seven base.
This incendiary politically-charged sequel to the original cult classic marked the directing debut of Kenta Fukasaku, after his father passed away during its production.
