I purchased this movie from HMV here in Canada for $12. I saw this movie on sale on the HMV website and decided to watch the trailer to see what it was all about. I quickly concluded that it was going to be another movie similar to Crows 0 (Crows Zero is one of my favourite Jap delinquents movie). This movie is no way similar to Crows, and all of the protagonists battles are all losing ones. Nevertheless it shines in its own way and is my third favourite movie (Crows 0 part 2, Crows 0).

Honestly, this movie was really good. Surprisingly they just released this video here in canada just a little while back, I finally ended up getting it.
I enjoyed it a lot, I normally don't watch this kind of stuff often, I'm more of the shojo type, but it was definitely worth the money.
I'd recommmend it.
Plus I watched it for Hiro and Hiroki, as I've seen quite a few of their dramas, they're great actors. :D

Don't compare this movie to another movie just because it has the same features, this movie was really good, besides there aren't very many gokudo type films out there. Enjoy what you can get.

Boy wants to become man by becoming a yob. Live your dream, but the dream of a great movie is low. Crows 0 better, still
enjoyable.

some say..this movie related to the CROWS ZERO ..but i think..which is not very true..coz i have seen it..there's no connection between BE-BOP HIGHSCHOOL and SUZURAN ALL-BOYS..plus there are no character that are in CROWS ZERO on this movie..accept HIDESHI and the gota washio guy.. when this movie was release ..i was so impressed how the student of that school managed to beat up 50 people.. and the way that tatsuya will power to gain respect..has no limit..
