Battle Royale or Batoru Rowaiaru (2000) is easily one of the most bad-ass movies of all time. Japanese filmmakers are notorious for the kind of ultra-violence that carries this story. Directed by Kinji Fukasaku, this flick is about the government kidnapping a class of students and putting them on a deserted island until they've killed each other off, one by one.
They are each fitted with an exploding collar and a random weapon. Students who refuse to participate--for example, staying in one place for too long-- will have their collars detonated, blowing their domes to high heaven.
Picking one scene from Battle Royale is practically impossible. As my friend Emmet says, "there is a lot of arterial spray in that movie." That said, we'll go with Nobu's exploding head scene.
There's just something about erupting craniums that just really gets me going, ya know?
