n my opinion it was a great movie with some interesting elements, even though having some plot holes and the ending probably was just too messy and crammed together, but still fun to watch and not your casual movie that is similar to all other ones.

It's a mild crowd pleaser for people who are exhausted by blockbusters.

Fanciful, disturbing, and wildly original, it announces the arrival of a fresh, bold voice in American cinema.

It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.

I don't what to make of this movie, it as got to be one of the most strangest, weediest horror comedy movie I have ever seen.The plot to this Battlefield Baseball is a tough game--it doesn't end until all the members on the opposing team are dead. In this game the Gedo High team is composed of blue-faced zombies, and their opponents on the Seido High team know they don't have a chance at beating themThis movie like no other zombies, I have seen, the first part of the movie is with about the headmaster who is coaching baseball team, They going face the same Zombie team who killed his players in the last time, which we see before the titles. We do get see one gory death on scenes but all we see is the aftermath of the dead body parts torn off all over the place, he hated the fact it's same team again.He one of funniest people in the movie, he had me laughing a number of timesalso a New kids as come to the school who seem to be really good at baseball but he stopped playing and then he explains though song , yes a song!, how his dad died, in a very funny song!As this movies goes on, it's gets weird and wearied and never stops at all until very last scene of the movie.There some really funny moment in this movie, that I could not stop laughing and great jokes as well, worked really well. and I loved the ending of the movie, thought really classic ending and very funny!The most bizarre, Horror, Comedy and I never seen anything liked this before! I give this 9 out of 10

Seeing this piece was definitely something I did on impulse. In my humble opinion low budget Japanese movies tend to be quite interesting and original, sometimes containing really odd ideas for the story and scenery. I suppose "Jigoku kôshien" never had any element that I really found interesting when first reading about the film, but now I've seen it and I was quite in a split when trying to draw a conclusion. The film do have a few really good moments where I was having a big smile and a bit of a laugh but as another other user here at the IMDb boards wrote, quoting "low budget ultimately hurts it too much" - something I'd definitely back up. But if you are into Japanese movies and are just looking for some good time-killing, perhaps this one would do the trick.

I had such high hopes for this movie, as I first heard of it recently after seeing some great movies that this one tried to emulate, like shaolin soccer and god of cookery. However as much as I wanted to enjoy viewing this movie, I ended up hating every single minute of it. It uses every stupid hackneyed plot device and character type in the history of stupid movies, and doesn't pull off a single element convincingly, and was completely devoid of entertainment. The producers probably wanted to do a movie like shaolin soccer, except they refused to pay a single yen more than the cost of the materials this abomination was shot on. There is absolutely nothing good I can say about this movie. Not a single, solitary gag hit it's mark. I have never seen such a thoroughly unfunny movie attempt so many bad gags. If there ever was a movie deserving of the score of 0, this would be it.

I saw Battlefield Baseball at the Fantasy Film Festival in Munich, and it's really one of the funniest movies i've ever seen in my live! I laughed actually the whole 87 minutes! The story is basically about a High School Baseball Team which has to face the brutal Killer Team of the Gedo High in a Baseball Match to death. I don't want to tell u anything about the funny scenes, 'cause they are difficult to explain to someone who hasn't seen the film. You have to see them, to believe it! So if u get the chance to see this awesome movie then GO AND SEE IT!! It's really worth it! 10 out of 10
