Plot hole: After Nanahara and Noriko run away from Akamatsu at the school, Niida shows up from behind some bushes opposite the school and inadvertently kills Akamatsu with his crossbow. But Niida is Boy 16, which means he should still be in the school building (he's supposed to come out after Noriko, who's Girl 15). There's no way he has any time to get into those bushes.
Battle Royale (2000)
1 plot hole
Directed by: Kinji Fukasaku
Starring: Tatsuya Fujiwara, Takeshi Kitano, Aki Maeda, Taro Yamamoto
Revealing mistake: Many times throughout the movie, people are shot and they bleed, but their clothes don't have holes from where the bullets hit them. The most noticeable examples are when the teacher is shot at the end, and when the big gun fight between the girls breaks out in the lighthouse.
Teacher Kitano: So today's lesson is, you kill each other off till there's only one left. Nothing's against the rules.
