The First Battle Royale 2 review is up!
Just in time for me to get my special edition two disk Battle Royale off of ebay to boot.

Here's what the review has to say about Japan's uber badass with bighair, Riki Takeuchi

Replacing Beat Takeshi in the role of the sadistic overseer of the carnage, we have Riki Takeuchi, an iconic presence for the target market in Japan through his regular excursions on V-cinema productions and numerous works by the director Takashi Miike, though hardly of the same household profile as Kitano. Riki steps up his hard man persona to hyperbolic levels, champing permanently on amphetamines as he barks out orders and gurns into the camera, though his over-the-top performance is unlikely to provoke positive reactions amongst audiences unfamiliar with his shtick.
