Corrected entry: After Kitano kills Fujiyoshi, he seems regretful and says that he's not supposed to kill the students himself (he says this even though that student was earlier being disruptive). Less than ten minutes later he deliberately kills another student.

Battle Royale (2000)
Corrected entry: At the beginning of the film, we see the end of a previous Battle Royale; the winner is announced on TV in a great media frenzy. But when the hero wins the main Battle Royale, nothing happens at all. (True, he has not really won, but the system thinks he has).
Correction: When the girl wins the Battle Royale, we can assume that this isn't immediately after her victory - a number of minutes or hours after. The same would've happened for Kawada, had the circumstances not been as they were. Also, it could be that they didn't want to show that the Battle Royale system had been cheated.

Corrected entry: When the rules are introduced on the video, the announcer says that the island is deserted apart from the teachers and organizers and the playing pupils. So who is running the radio station which broadcasts the workout program that the teacher listens to at the end?
Correction: It says that it's "Battle Royale exercises" - if those guys could install all that equipment, they surely could control the radio on the island.
