Hana Yori Dango Final: The Movie[3] (花より男子F(ファイナル), Hana Yori Dango Fainaru) is a 2008 Japanese film[2] directed by Yasuharu Ishii and starring Mao Inoue and Jun Matsumoto. It is the last part of the Japanese live-action Boys Over Flowers trilogy, based on the manga series by Yoko Kamio. It is marketed internationally as Boys Over Flowers Final or Boys Over Flowers: The Movie[4] and released in some Asian countries as the latter.

The film was released in Japan on June 28, 2008, and was subsequently released in Hong Kong, Singapore, and South Korea.[5] It was released direct-to-DVD in Northern America in 2009, making it the first and, for 13 years, only part of the Japanese live-action adaptation with a Western English-subtitled release[3] (the preceding TV series was released as such in April 2022).[6]
