Battle Royale

Audio problem: When Noriko tells Kawada that the food that he cooked was good, we hear him reply that his father was a cook, but if you watch him in the background you can clearly see he is just sitting there, and his mouth is not moving at all.

Audio problem: When Chigusa attacks Niida after he shoots her with an arrow in the cheek accidentally, she stabs him in the back, they fall and roll to the floor, and then he tries to escape from her and begins ro run away, but she grabs him and screams "Bastard!!" However her mouth is completely shut.

Other mistake: When Sugimura is looking for Kotohiki, he activates his scanner to see if she is nearby. The scanner shows her location, but fails to show either Mitsuko or Kiriyama, who show up quickly after.

Question: I have heard the following story about this film: one of the assistant producers met with Quentin Tarantino. Quentin talked about how much he liked the film, and the producer asked him which bit he liked best. He replied that he liked the lighthouse scene the best, and the assistant producer laughed out loud, and said that the main producer would be amused to hear him say that - because he pinched the scene from Reservoir Dogs. Is this really true?

Chosen answer: Specific aspects of direction may be from Reservoir Dogs, but the scene itself plays out almost exactly the same as in the book.
