Tokyo 10+01 (2002)

You won't be disappointed!

Best movie ever!

A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.

i bought this expecting a modestly done BR clone. what i received was a parody that basically ignored its source material about 15 minutes into the film. the points i alloted it go toward a kind of amusing introduction (the entire forrest gump analogy and whatnot) and a few scenes with interesting CGI backgrounds. here is what kills the film: the characters becoming annoying very quickly, a character is killed off almost immediately (without the viewer even getting to see!), and unlike BR - the bad guys have a legion of soldiers that attack the contestants. so basically, aside from maybe two or so instances, there is no contestant versus contestant bloodshed. if i rented this from a store, i wouldn't have been as disappointed with the results. unfortunately, i paid $13 for the DVD off ebay and was only able to recoup about $4 selling it to a video store. unless you have a pocket full of money that has no other potential purpose, and you're absolutely obsessed with anything REMOTELY related to Battle Royale...i recommend you avoid.

'Tokyo 10+01' has a promising start, introducing colorful characters who will be involved in a game of death. The soundtrack was decent too. However, the film goes downhill due to poor special effects and poor spoof jokes. The title of the film is a spoof of Ocean's Eleven (2001) and there were some references to Brad Pitt in the beginning of the film. Overall, it was unbearable to watch even though the runtime is only 70 minutes.If you are looking for good spoof films, I recommend Spaceballs (1987) and Kung Pow (2002). Please stay away from 'Tokyo 10+01'.Mao points: 2/10

Battle Royale fans should get a good kick out of this movie.Basically a group of people are forced into playing a deadly game. They have to be the first to reach a mansion where a lot of money awaits the winner. The catch is that a group of machine gun carrying thugs get to chase after them and to make sure that they don't get that far. That's the best summary I can give without spoiling anything about the movie. The characters are really interesting and the movie was made to look as unrealistic as possible, but that's what makes the whole thing so funny. Some things Battle Royale fans would get a kick out of are the many traits they take from the movie like a girl on a video screen explaining the rules and the poison filled bracelets the contestants wear. They even admit straight out in the beginning of the movie that they stole all of the ideas.But the thing I loved the most was Masanobu Ando the actor who played Kazuo Kiriyama! is in the movie once again as the crazed player looking to win and yes, he gets to kill people.So in my opinion Tokyo 10+01 makes a lovely addition to your movie collection.

This was a good movie. It was clearly low budget and not well made. BUT as bad as it would look, it is hilarious. This whole movie HAS to be taken as a joke otherwise it is no good.It has a lame story, mostly pretty bad actors, and bas special effects. It was filmed poorly and its whole gun pointing at camera things wasn't that cool.It of course is a spoof of Battle Royale. Which is a good movie and you can tell it is joking on BR from the beginning. A bunch of criminals wake up in a wear house and are forced to play a game to win 300 million yen and a clean slate. But they quickly learn that only one of them will make it out alive.It is just a joke. That is what it is. If you take it that way, it is a laugh out loud funny.
