Don't know if I need to see Battle Royale II again, but I'll still get the complete set for that artwork. Those floating weapons on the other cover are awfully distracting.

If I wasn't getting a review copy I might be pissed off because I don't want part two or the director's cut all that much.
Wow, the artworks are really nice. Haven't seen Battle Royale 2, but I can pretty much guess it's not as good as the first.
I haven't seen Part 2, but Part 1 was a really nice movie. I'll be picking this up soon.
How can the guy handle his shotgun without his hands on the cover? Maybe I missed something... or maybe the director's cut features the characters getting Jedi Powers all of a sudden...
I assume it's the dismal theatrical cut of Battle Royale II being released.
I find the extended version much more stomach-able, yet the UK DVD looks rough as f***.

I probably might go out and pick this up, seeing as how this is one of only a few Japanese films I have not seen yet.
Looking foreward to hearing this movie's Dolby TrueHD track.
I haven't seen either film. Always wanted to for several years
The UK release trumps this. Why should I pay to get the piss poor BR2, just to be able to get both cuts of BR?
It doesn't waste space with a pointless English dub (in losssless) too.
