Battle Royale Complete Collection: A Recommendation. (originally posted march 14)

This really isn't a review but a Recommendation as I been a big fan of Battle Royale saga.  I have novel and Manga that Tokyopop and well the movies in a way.  Next week first Battle Royale movie is finally released in US on dvd (Not counting the region 2 US release) and on blu ray.  I got my copy from right stuf early as the release officially not till this tuesday.  This is awesome movie and still holds up well.  The drama and action and story of these trying to survive in impossible situation.  Well my collection also came with second movie.  Well it's inferior squeal in every way.  The movie becomes more of allegory of afghan war and pretty much against.  From what I read the people behind the movie wanted the controversy.  I mean they don't hide the fact that is allegory for it.  They don't hate this movie is pretty much anti us.  They don't say US but from Riki war rant at the start to well the whole afghan thing.  The end the movie in the country (again without calling it that) and show footage that seems to be taken from it.  I do recommended the complete collection if you like to watch the special features.  There are ton of them and collection features both (theatrical and directors) version of first movie.  Single dvd features the director's cut.  I didn't want to spoil the second one in case anyone did want to watch it but it did piss me off the plot a bit when I heard about.
