Battle Royale

I guess this is only really underrated if you don't live in Korea/Japan/China, but I'm gonna go out on a limb and guess the majority of the people visiting Rated Wrong! are domestic.

So for those of you in the States who are unaware, Battle Royale is a totally kick-ass movie out of Japan about a bunch erm "8th graders" who are kidnapped and forced to kill each other on a jungle island.

I know what you're already saying, "When and where can I see this?"  But just in case you need further convincing...

This movie is a lot of fun.  Who cares if the plot is paper thin ("Adults lost confidence in their youth", what?)  Based on a Japanese novel, this has inspired more fan fiction than avatar and some pretty effed-up manga comics (I've seen pictures).  For what is comparatively a low budget action film it is shot pretty well.  The soundtrack is almost completely Mozart(!?)  Its funny and has a good balance between camp, action, and has some sincere moments but doesn't take itself too seriously.

Oh, this part is a riot.

Now the word on this movie for years is that hollywood has been trying to get the rights for it, something I hope never happens (at least not unless I get to write the script).  So at least until Paul W.S. Anderson ruins it, Battle Royale, I'll call you Underrated.

Oh so completely ridiculous.
