This DVD is worth it as it is an amazing film for a few reasons. 1. it shows how insane some governments can be, going so far as to force students to kill each other in fear of them rebelling. 2. It is surprisingly funny to watch people reluctantly kill each other (i dont know why, but it just is). 3. it is interesting (and slightly disturbing) to find out how many different ways there are to kill someone. Kinji Fukasaku has created a masterpiece and i strongly recommend this DVD to any potential buyer. While watching, i was engrossed in the story, the characters and the crazy and violent aspects of it. It is also a film that can be watched over and over again as it never gets tiring.
