By random chance I seen that Battle Royale 2 was on Sky Movies. I've never seen the second one but I remember seeing the first one and was enthralled by the idea of it all those many moons ago.
It reminded me of another movie though, one long forgotten. I don't actually remember all that much of the plot in honesty so I'm wondering if the collective can pull me out a hole and remember it...... or maybe remember a glimpse of it and join me in the hole.
So, here's what I have.....
I'm pretty sure it was Japanese but I won't rule out Korean, there are stereotypes that are pulling me towards Japanese though. The girls in the class all wore those sailor style uniforms, fairly common for the time in movies (obvious stereotype). The main plot points I remember is that it was a boy...... who was played by a girl in the movie..... who wanted to be a girl and dressed as such. They were outcast by their family and bullied by the classmates. Here's where it gets pretty strange though, I'm positive it takes a Battle Royale style twist. I don't remember a particular seriousness to it, although I don't think it was a comedy either. I remember the boy who identifies a girl who is played by a girl exacting revenge on their bullies within the school but I cannot remember the outcome/ending or even if the movie was any good
Does this ring any bells for anyone?
