Factual error: KCN does not causes you to internally bleed, so Yuka Nakagawa wouldn't have spat up blood and died like that in the lighthouse, but would have rather died due to cessation of respiration.
Battle Royale (2000)
1 factual error
Directed by: Kinji Fukasaku
Starring: Tatsuya Fujiwara, Takeshi Kitano, Aki Maeda, Taro Yamamoto
Revealing mistake: Many times throughout the movie, people are shot and they bleed, but their clothes don't have holes from where the bullets hit them. The most noticeable examples are when the teacher is shot at the end, and when the big gun fight between the girls breaks out in the lighthouse.
Teacher Kitano: So today's lesson is, you kill each other off till there's only one left. Nothing's against the rules.
Trivia: In the film, the two transfer students are Kiriyama, the silent killer, and Kawada, the winner of a previous Battle Royale. In the original novel, only Kawada was the transfer student; Kiriyama was in the same class selected for this game of death. He was the main antagonist.
Question: I heard this movie was banned in the U.S. Is this true?
