Out-of-control teenagers ... no gratuitous sex?
We are talking about a culture that came up with the party game Naked Twister approximately three minutes after the original Twister game was invented.
I've seen clips of Japanese game shows where a row of petite nude women stand in a kiddie pool surrounded by 200 men in cheeseburger costumes as they furiously masturbate on the girls. This is prime time entertainment in Japan for all ages.
The movie Battle Royale is far removed from this reality. You are telling me that a Japanese student class is thrown onto a deserted island with no rules and no-one is gang raped? not one of those students had a single hentai tentacle in their rucksack as a weapon? No titilating warrior princess to enter the battle in a latex bodysuit emblazoned with the hello Kitty logo?
This movie even had O-Ren Ishii's jailbait bodyguard as one of the students ... and yet nothing.
I am thoroughly disappointed with Japan after watching this.
