Well, thanks for the effortpost. There is a movie that doesn't exactly rip off Battle Royale, but really heavily Americanizes the same basic premise. Or maybe it was Canadian, I'm Canadian so I always wanna assume any little obscure film I saw might've been Canadian. And I think it was obscure. If you've seen it, there's a scene in the opening where this TV crew gives a cancer patient a gun and he just instantly puts it to his head, but of course gets convinced to participate in "The Tournament" which is what I thought it might've been called. But apparently, that's Bulgarian? This was so friggin' old, like I saw it in 2008-9 probably, and it might've been a few years old by then.
