  • I'm sorry, but it just seems Suzanne Collins just stole the premise and watered it down.

  • The hunger games didnt have its ideas from this dumbasses, stop coming to the hg trailers and calling the movie out, this movie is shit.

  • Can we please stick to our own territories if all we're gonna do is bicker like a bunch of five year olds?! BR fans, you claim to be mature grown ups, yet you're being rude to HG fans who are most likely younger than you. Quit coming over to HG trailers and talking shit about it and the fans and HG fans, quit coming over here and trying to get even with these trolls. It won't do us justice. And if you're a fan of both, great! Just comment nicely. Thanks.

  • The book in battle royale is a bit disturbing, But its different in the movie :) And as I know, hunger games sure had its idea from this movie :)

  • I just noticed that the guy from the Death Note movies is here...just to side-track off of The Hunger Games. LOL

  • I love both of them, but I think the BR characters were 100x more developed that HG

  • Let's just all shush about the Hunger games. OHH IT'S SIMILAR. it doesn't matter. They're actually pretty different. If you want to talk about the Hunger Games, then go on something about the Hunger Games. THIS is Battle Royale.

  • @SimpleImogen I could just say the same to all those BR trolls on THG trailers and more....whatever not worth it

  • @safayi Yeah I guess it does depend on age. I hadn't heard about BR until recently when people were saying HG ripped it off. I read it, watched the two movies, and I'm currently reading the manga. I love it but I just don't think HG ripped it off. I've always loved Japanese films and manga and anime, I'm just upset that this wasn't more popular also.

  • hunger games anybody

    ??

  • @DisturbedSaiyan This movie came out 10 years before the hunger games book did

  • Tarantino's favorite movie.

  • @GeorgiePorgieOrgie Never said there weren't similarities.

  • Tch, the Hunger Games is fucking Care Bears next to this.

  • @Helvinek822 Yepp I know right? But some of these people are so insolent they fail to see that. I've just quit bothering with them.:) It makes them look stupid when they keep repeating their opinions that are the same every time and I just quit caring. They think they're right and are never going to see things as they are. Only as they think they are.

  • Guys.. Suzanne Colliins wasn't even aware of the existence of Battle Royale when she wrote The Hunger Games. Yes Battle Royale came first. I actually only started reading THG because I heard it was similar to BR (which I adore) and because a lot of people are raving over it. However, their similar plot is a concidence. So no one copied anyone and the two should be enjoyed separately and not compared to one another. Simple as that.

  • Hunger Games seems kind of new, this movie has been out for a while. Also, I never even HEARD of Hunger Games until recently and just found out today that it was similar to this. I can't judge anything about Hunger Games but it's taking the concept from this for sure.

  • You can't really compare THG and BR films; one film is aimed at.. (is it 13 years and up?) teenagers (THG) while BR is rated an 18; the same audiences will not watch them either. Same with the books. THG is aimed at young people (aged 12 plus it said on a copy I borrowed?) while BR is aimed at an adult audience. So really, there wll be a portion of HG fans who won't watch BR because its not really suitable for them... (the target audiences are different peoples!!!)

  • @KitKat1395 the concept (from what I heard) of both Battle Royall and the Hunger games are the same: kids are forced to fight each other.

    but I will agree that the target audiences are different (I doubt a US film maker would ever make something as Battle Royale)

  • i havent read battle royal but i have read the hunger games and you guys dont have to be so mean about it i mean your giving battle royal a bad name or atleast its fans i like the hunger games and i will probaby like battle royal if i read it so stop all the negitive comments about the hunger games its not helping anyone

  • BR book was written in 1999, the HG was originally published in hardcover on September 14, 200. So BR is not similar to HG, is the HG that's similar to BR. I recommend you read both of them but for me BR is better in every aspect. I also recommend you to read the manga since it follows the book himself.

  • in the middle of the book, and its so good. but i hate that mitsuko bitch -__-

  • it's very similar to the hunger games, get over it, guys. it doesn't mean both books aren't good. i enjoy both just as equally.

  • that's nothing like hunger games

  • omfg would you guys stop bitching around and stop complaining and whining how the hunger games are better or battle royale is better, who is copying who. both of them are two different things what the fuck stop comparing gosh

  • @Eeemansocks98 No, Hunger Games is for fags

  • nice one bitch

  • does anybody else realize that the hunger games is just a kid verson that less bloody and awesome of battle royale??

  • its not copying the hunger games. theyre both so diffrent, gosh

  • @OfficerNancy Heck yeah baby!!:D Hunger Games rules!!!!!

  • I wish this was coming out in the States. Instead we get the Twilight-ified version.

  • LONG LIVE THE HUNGER GAMES I DON'T CARE WHAT YOU PEOPLE THINK ITS YOUR OPINION AND I RESPECT THAT, BUT THE HUNGER GAMES ARE FREAKING AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • @CardinalGal275 Glad you have your own opinion. I agree:)

  • @Balthasar00101 I wasn't comparing them at all. I was just saying that everyone has their own opinions and we should respect eachother. You're obviously being like 99% of all the other BR fans on here and completely overlooking someone's point and again acting like they're right and so smart. Now my friend, I could go on and on about my opinion but I won't waste your time with it just like I don't want you wasting my time with your's. :/

  • battle royale a 100000000000000000000000000000­000000000000000000000000000000­000000000000000000000000000000­000000000000000000000000000000­000000000000000000000000000000­00000000000000000000 times better than hunger games.

  • battle royale sucks.. im sorry

    

  • @CardinalGal275 and I feel sorry for your lack of taste. Peace

  • I'm sorry, but people need to shut the fuck up about The Hunger Games. Whilst The Hunger Games is good, Battle Royale came first; It is a better book, and the Hunger Games' film will probably not come close to matching Battle Royale's film.

  • Also, there's no way to prove that she did rip it off. You might think she did, and that's fine, but lots of people think otherwise and love Hunger Games. (Including me) Seriously, quit acting like your geniuses and know everything because by the looks of it, you don't know shit if you think you have to bash someone and their fandom just because you think differently. Honestly, you pathetic retards need to grow up and learn to respect others and their different opinions. :/

  • Seriously everyone, grow up. Battle Royale fans are never going to change Hunger Games fans' minds and vise versa. we just all need to respect eachother's opinions and start acting our age. Honestly, we're arguing like a bunch of seven year olds. Seriously, it's pointless. What are you trying to achieve?

  • Loook at the facts, Battle Royale was published in 1999, The Hunger Games was published in 2008. nearly 10 years between and the hunger games was a complete fucking rip off. same age group same number of people fight till 1 left. COME ON! the only reason people like THG is because it's supposed to be about America. which is fucking lame because Battle Royale is incredible

  • @rancidphnk " the only reason people like THG is because it's supposed to be about America."

    No.

  • Ugh the top comments are by Hunger Games fanboys.

  • This movie is really amazing !

  • @eternityscharm Yeah, I agree with you 100%. Battle Royale doesn't suck, even if they want to say Hunger Games sucks, we still don't need to be jerks. Seriously, it's making us look bad.

  • Hunger Games fans are becoming as annoying as those damn Twilight fans. I love the Hunger Games but seriously, why bash another great film/book(manga)? Grow up children.

  • Hey! It's Vic Romano!

  • Honestly, after reading both I thought Battle Royale was far more disturbing than the Hunger Games, and a better read. Don't get me wrong, I'm a diehard fan of the Hunger Games too. I just fangirl over BR more. haha.

  • looks like the Huntard Games fangirls are putting up a fight. Maybe they'll grow up and realize their idolized book series is a ripoff from an asian manga. Have fun ladies ROFL!

  • @jake123cannon Duh! I see some true Sci-Fi fans are on here too!

  • @SoulTribute17 Totally agree with you in every way, shape, and form.

  • @bannannakellianna Hell yeah! Hunger Games kicks ass!!!

  • Hunger Games kicks ass while Battle Royale sucks it

  • This is sooooo hardcore. But, I like more the mangá. And sorry for my english. ><

  • @RaptorOfTheWest Finally someone with some sense! Thank you!

  • @jake123cannon They're both great books and were best sellers, it's OK to say the Hunger Games is better (and I agree in certain areas) but Battle Royale is not bad or stupid at all.

  • @jake123cannon Opinions, opinions. Some will like Battle Royale more, some will like Hunger Games more. Get over it.

  • Battle Royale makes Twilight look like the best thing ever created....:/

  • @ashtrouble20 you must be borderline if not completely retarded. the fact that you would say that just shows how simple minded the world is becoming. a vampire love story? get the fuck outta my house.

  • @ashtrouble20 you make a retard look like the smartest thing ever created....:-/

  • @kingkstewssed Umm no not end of story. Last I checked I don't know anybody and I mean ANYBODY that's ever heard of Battle Royale. And really? I don't find any similarities through trailers whatsoever. How does Harry Potter have anything to do with Hunger Games? The only similarity between Twilight and Hunger Games is a love triangle. And I don't remember one of those in BR either. Making up excuses that make no sense, doesn't make you look smart or right. So take that and chew on it.

  • @SoulTribute17 comparing both universe with a 1 min trailer of an adapted movie won't make you sound smart either. Aside of HG fanboy 'very objective' analysis of both, you can find easily tons of comparative points that clearly state BR as a blueprint for HG. Even if you white strip a whale, it wont make it looks like a zebra. I saw BR 6 years ago and like Internal affair, my sassy girl and lady snow blood,, its just another case of the rusty old Hollywood ripping off original stuff from asia.

  • @SoulTribute17 If you dont see the similarities between HG and BR, you're fucking blind.

  • @SoulTribute17 i guess it depend on age. I'm 30 and I heard, watch and read Battle Royale some 10+ years ago. I remember back then it was banned in the USA. Which made me want it even more. But I was in Japanese kick. I into animes, mangas and movies. I saw all the orginial movies before the USA remade them and F'd them up.

  • Go watch The Hunger Games if your a fan of the Disney Channel...but us HBO people will keep Battle Royale alive!!!!

  • listen - - - -

    d.d.d - Battle Royale (original mix)

  • clearly i have no idea what the argument is about...

    also clearly...hunger games and battle royale are rip offs of soldier, starring kurt russel...which is kind of a rip off of ender's game...?

    trolololol!!!

    HOW DO YOU LIKE ME NOW?!

  • hunger games ripped Battle Royale off

  • @MinusHuman12 did it? only the idea of teenagers killing of each other. that's about it. BR seems way more brutal

  • @Lite619 There's a lot more similatrities than that. Apparently it's a coincidence, but they do have a lot of similarities

    and yes, BR the movie and book are way more brutal

  • @MinusHuman12 actually it was a coincidence believe it or not

  • @kingofburnttoast hm, really, alright. Battle Royale is still a hell of a lot better than Hunger Games, in my opinion

  • Comment removed

  • @rania0909 and seriously??? How on earth is Hunger Games a Harry Potter and Twilight setting? I dont recall any castles or small towns in washington in HG...god you moron. I hope you know that I didn't even have a clue what BR is until I started browsing DEEP into Youtube. And hardly anyone does. Get over it. BR is never gonna be a popular book and you need to get that through your thick skull.

  • @rania0909 ...any sequals to BR, seriously! Not even the arenas are the same!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And Loser Tribute? I love it! Thanks:)

  • @rania0909 Whatever you bitch. If you've even read Hunger Games you would know that there's more to it than that. And I don't know how she could have copied those authors' writing style because I've read all of those books and I find no similarities whatsoever. In Hunger Games the backstories are way different than in BR. I dont remember anyone volunteering for their little sister in BR, any hunting in BR, any national televised interviews in BR, any Mockingjays in BR, any rebellion in BR

  • @SoulTribute17 yeah that's why every time people watch the hunger games trailer they start to think about battle royal and twilight also Harry potter .

    the hunger games is not an original book end of the story .

  • this > hunger games

  • Best film ever. Hunger Games is alright (I have read both), but BR is more scarily believable :D

  • The Hunger Games, I believe, is a lot more epic. There's a different arena every year, you get weapons, there are Gamemakers that can do what they want and make your life hell. This may be a good film, but it's not The Hunger Games.

  • @TheMovieExpert411 You actually just described Battle Royale. They have to change the location every time they do this (as parents prob aren't too happy their kids are fighting to the death). The kids get duffle bags of random weapons, from guns to trash can lids. And while I'm not sure what the Gamemakers are, past winners are also sent to the island to wreck shit up. Huge similarities between the two isn't a reason to say one is better than the other.

  • @snowfoxk Well, these locations aren't just changed. It's like an arena which Gamemakers create in their control rooms and stuff. They can make anything happen, very over the top. They have mutations that they send off to wreak havoc. But the kids also don't just get weapons, they have to run to the center and risk death to get them. And the past winners in The Hunger Games are mentors for the next kids from their district coming into the arena.

  • I didn't like this at all....

  • @MrMrthetruth90 The Hunger Games and Battle Royale are different books. Get that through your thick skull to your tiny brain.

  • Comment removed

  • is there an english sub of this on youtube...i cant find the one i watched lasted time :(

  • this totally explains how pathetic the hunger games is ...

  • this looks good i read the hunger games to! and i want to read this book so bad it looks amazing just cant find anywhere to get it :(

  • This movie is still amazing ! Love akiMaeda , She's Cute .

  • Finished arguing? Good.

    I have a serious question: What kind of cookies did Noriko make and why is the last one so amazing?

  • @Squirrelschaser tl;dr. u mad bro. y u mad thou

  • @ekdromoi

    k. cool.

  • is this a book to and is the boom in english and the movie?

  • Comment removed

  • i have read the hunger games seires like 7 times and its amazing !! this looks good too!!! people say there like the same but f u read the hunger games it does have stuff to do with kids killing each other like this one but the story lines complety diffrent !!! i bet there are lots of fans for this book/movie but i think suzanne coillions got the idea from this but didn't take the story line its way diffrent !! im going to read this book too because it looks good too!!!!! :D

  • I bet half of those people who are trash talking in this video hasn't even read even one of the books. Just because there are similarities doesn't mean that SC copied the book, it's like saying that the Thin Red Line and the Bond of Brothers copied concepts from each other, both are books and both are about war. Yes, Battle Royale was published 8 or so years before THG, yes there are similarities but still, the books are different. BR is done in stealth and THG is done publicly. Stop the hate.

  • i heard of this new thing is called........................­....liking the hunger games and battle royal

  • awesome film

  • Well I dont care

    Hunger Games and Battle Royale both seem awesome

  • HG is about a rebellion, BR is more about the loss of innosence...

  • @Z3r0K1ll4h BR is pure rebellion, don't talk shit and watch the movies stupid!!!

  • @MaxiNiki I have seen BR, and I know what it's about. And no, it isn't about a rebellion, it's about some kids who decides to break away from their governments plans.

  • Comment removed

  • The Hunger Games is waaay different than this movie!!! Yes, they're similar, but the only thing they have in common is kids killing each other. Other than that, they're just different movies. Nobody ripped anybody off so just shut up and grow up!!

  • @elidaterrero you obviously haven't read both books.

  • @coldwhitesky Sorry, I didn't know there were books because people on here are only spending time talking shit about the Hunger Games...

  • @elidaterrero Read the books you stupid girl!!! Battle Royale is the Original and the Hunger Games is pure shit copied from this bitch S.C.!!! There is so much copied I can't believe my eyes!!! F*** Y** from Japan!!!

  • @MaxiNiki Trust me dude, I'm not the stupid one in this conversation. And the only 'bitch' here is you. And I'm sorry I didn't know there were books about this because people like you are only spending time on here talking shit about the Hunger Games!!! Grow up moron!!

  • @elidaterrero Like I said, a stupid bitch, who have no idea about the books and talking shit on youtube, because she can't read Battle Royale to see the damn truth everyone here is talking about!!! The Hunger Games, the worst copy of Battle Royale I've ever seen!!!

  • @MaxiNiki Also, like I said, the only bitch here is you. And you should really shut up because you have no idea how much of an ignoramus you sound like!!! And how old are you? Because you also sound like a middle aged guy still living with his mom and has nothing better to do than comment retarded shit here. I'll be the bigger person and end this conversation. FUCK YOU from America.

  • @elidaterrero Oh, an American Girl, now I'm with stupid!!! And my name is "FUCK YOU" I'm asian!!! WTF, this Hunger Games Girls are really nuts!!! Battle Royale is the Original, but they are so mind fucked by S.C.!!! I can't help it!!!

  • Is this movie worth watching?

  • @sk8ross yes but really gory, the chicks are the best

  • Imagine Katniss,Peeta,Gale,Rue in this...imagine them not lasting the first 20 minutes...

  • i like the hunger games but it does seem a little simliar to this movie... But it seems a whole lot different too

  • Anyone who thinks Hunger Games ripped off Battle Royale obvs have only seen the trailer. And not read the book.

  • @ynwtiger no they ripped them off big time, read both books, hunger games took it down to the smallest details, especially with the villians

  • Lol whoever says The hunger games ripped of this trash OBVIOUSLY has not read the books. Probably have only seen the trailers.

  • @asandman94 I have read both books and the HG completely ripped it off. You sir, are an idiot. I doubt you've even read BR. You don't deserve to read the masterpiece that the Hunger Games copied.

  • @Crumpfan11 Lol i doubt you have. Besides the overall setup, they are not much of a comparison. The only reason people bash the hunger games and do so with battle royal's motives is because the hunger games got immensely popular in such a short time span, more then battle royal ever will.

  • @asandman94 Lol! What do you mean they don't compare much? You are an idiot sir, and I could care less how popular the Hunger Games got. What annoys us is the People like you asking "OMG have you read the Hunger Games? Its Incredible and a great idea for a book!", when it is a complete copy off of Battle Royale. Why don't you quit reading Wikipedia and go read the book?

  • @Crumpfan11 I see once again you have brought up both books. Like i said besides the overall idea there is many differences. You can say all you want that you read both books such as i have but its obviously apparent you have not. When you do come back and then we will talk.

  • @asandman94 As I stated before you are an idiot. If the HG hadn't copied BR then there would not be all this talk about it on this video. The idea of kids killing each other off and the plot of a select few rebelling are almost exactly the same in both books. You obviously haven't read Battle Royale, and are probably just some loser fanboy of the HG. By the way, Battle Royale is much better. If you read it I hope you realize how phony the Hunger Games is.

  • @Crumpfan11 You just stated i am just some probable loser fan-boy of the hungergames and then stated how good battle royale is. I sense a hypocritical idiot. If you cant get it through your thick skull to your shallow brain that i have read both books, then you are wasting my time. Not only that but you keep bringing up the overall idea of both books being similar. It seems you ran out of counterargument data to argue about a while back so you keep repeating yourself.

  • @asandman94 Uh-Oh sounds like someone is getting angry. Just prove my point, bud. All you can say is that I am wrong yet you prove nothing. I can tell you haven't Battle Royale and until you have please stop posting on this video. you are embarrassing yourself. Hop off the Hunger Games cock.

  • @Crumpfan11 Haha, you had to have had at least 10 grammatical errors in that last comment. lmfao. Not only that but you just basically repeated my last few comments. Your a fucking pathetic excuse for a human. Go and play where you belong, in the trash. :)

  • @asandman94 More like 2 errors. You try to talk like you are brilliant, but "lmfao" is not a sentence you moron. Keep it up dude so I can keep owning you. You are now my bitch. Now go read Battle Royale.

  • @Crumpfan11 Yes lmfao is not a word, or a sentence, however it is an appropriate internet term unlike the FIVE grammatical errors you made. And its funny how everyone is commenting you and hating on you and yet you actually think you are winning. Once again you are fucking pathetic. Nothing more. :)

  • @asandman94 Please, point out the FIVE grammatical errors I made. And if you say capitalization you are a complete idiot and hypocrite. By the way, the only person hating on me is your retarted self. I find it funny that you keep calling me pathetic, yet you watch youtube videos like "How to hit on girls". Have fun being a virgin for the rest of your life mate!

  • @Crumpfan11 If you were actually observant you would realize you own mistakes, not only that but the videos i watch are mostly comedy skits such as the one you pointed out. Go watch it, maybe it will add a few IQ points to your brain complex. I'm done with you, you are only wasting my time.

  • @asandman94 Maybe you should observe the mistakes you make instead of the ones I make. In a sentence "i" alone is capitalized. I fail to see where I need IQ points since my IQ score is obviously 100 points higher than yours. You never state facts in your arguments and when called out you respond by changing the subject. As stated previously, you are my bitch and have been for this argument. Now hop off the Battle Royale copy.

  • @asandman94 L.O.L If you weren't such an asshole you would have a girlfriend. Some things in life just don't work.

    P.S "If you were actually observant you would realize you own mistakes," doesn't make sense. Maybe you should fix your own grammar and spelling before bitching on other's, troll.

  • @gameguyARMZ Lol, who are you? It makes perfect sense. I am assuming you cant read hence you saying I have grammar and spelling issues. Sorry, school can help you there. :)

  • @asandman94 "Lol" isn't a word. "Cant" has a ' in it. Sorry, your grammar is awful. School can help you there, and will help you see that you are getting owned here.

  • @Crumpfan11 Did i not say i was done with you friend? Go back and play in the trash kid.

  • @asandman94 Keep calling me kid all you want, but nothing will change the fact that virginity is strong in you and that you are clearly the child. You are lame and so are the Hunger Games. I feel bad though, because I honestly feel like I am making fun of a mentally challenged person. Sorry about that!

  • @Crumpfan11 Haha, your ignorance is palpable. My point was proven. You are indeed a Battle Royale fan-boy whose pride got crushed when I made a rude remark about it. And I am 100% certain that someone who uses a highly popular Star Wars fan base oriented comeback is not only imprudent but the real virgin, as you so have stated. Not only that it seems you have a small attention span. You say "keep calling me kid", when i haven't suggested that you were until my last comment.

  • @asandman94 Cute. Using my previously stated "fan boy" term. Try being original. You think my pride was crushed by some homo-sexual kid trolling a great video? ROFL. Clearly you misinterpret who has won here. Your repeat grammar flaws and YET you are still ignorant. By the way, congrats on learning a few new words. And another thing: Half of the time I've been drunk commenting on this video and still I own you. Maybe when you grow a pair you can test your "argumentation skills" out.

  • @Crumpfan11 Wow. You give me nothing to argue about. You keep repeating the same statements that you have won, over and over. That's not how you win an argument. I think you need to learn some educate and rethink your, priorities. There is no winning in an argument if the loser keeps telling himself he has won. I am once again done with you, for good this time. If you comment back, i will block you. If you further contact me, under the Cal. Civil Code § 1708.7, I will sue you. Have a nice day.

  • @asandman94 ROFL I'm reading your convos on this vid. You two are hilarious haha. You guys need to chill out, its just youtube comments

  • @lucasmoua09 Haha. Well i am glad i entertained you. :)

  • @Crumpfan11 Crumpfan, you clearly lost that argument.. its embarresing to see.. because i dont think this movie is good, and not worth watching, but EVERYTHING, except facts are subjective so there should be no winner of the argument except if you use false argumentations points.

  • @Crumpfan11 Now you can follow my earlier advice of looking up in a dictionary and study your English and argumentation skills. Or you can take you shameful loss and go on to another Battle Royale video and pick on some random troll who you think you can win against on an online argument which serves no purpose whatsoever. Either way it doesn't matter what you do because no matter what you don't affect my life in the slightest.

  • @asandman94 When losing a fight, insult someone's invisible grammatical errors.

  • dont hate on the movie hate the book and the author the movie is just about the book

  • hunger games is a BIT like this, but much more updated and made for a diverse audience. it has love stories, 3 series, adventure, and wayyy better outfits :D

  • hahaha. I only cam here cause I have seen this movie a very long time ago and now, I am reading The Hunger Games and I was like.... this book is kinda like that movie Battle Royale. but I am not against the hunger games, in fact, I love it. It just doesn't impress me that much anymore because I have an idea and I have watched the same kind of story before.

  • Is this book in English? (it was origionaly a book)

  • @OmnomTheDevourer I'm pretty sure it's Japanese but there may be a translated version, maybe

  • @m2mfan4eva There is one

  • @OmnomTheDevourer Yes there is a translated novel and the manga was translated too. You can read it on manga fox online in english

  • Stop comparing this to Hunger Games, I'm a fan of both, but there's a difference, there are similarities, but still, there are differences, example, in Hunger Games, they are aware of the games, the students here are unaware. Stop the hate okay? I'm sure some of those haters haven't even read the Hunger Games or Battle Royale. They just hate it for the sake of going with the flow. Have respect to the authors.

  • @riaalexisgonzales Your the only smart one, you understand.

  • @riaalexisgonzales they knew about it, but most didn't want to be part of their sick games. Case in point the main characters. They knew from a young age when they saw the bloody girl on the TV after the game was over.

  • When he says no whispering, he's SERIOUS.

  • I'm sorry Karami, what are Philip K Dick's Ubit, Whatever Happened to baby Jane, and Running Man? Oh, and Akira took a shit load from Blade Runner and William Gibson Cyber punk.

  • I come in peace.. But I like BR and also HG D:

  • I see Battle Royale/Hunger Games have become the new Harry Potter and Twilight.

    Have at it, folks!

  • @NessaRayGibson Battle Royale is older then the Harry Potter movies and Twilight o.o

  • @Nobody13579ify I'm not stupid. I know this.

    If you understood my comment, which, clearly, you didn't, then you would have known I was making a comparison.

    Fans of Twilight hate Harry Potter because they think HP copied their precious movie. (They obviously don't know how to read release dates; HP came out first. (Books AND movies.))

    Now people think BR copied HG, and vice versa. Meaningless feuds.

  • @NessaRayGibson gosh no need to get so touchy -.-

  • @Karami actually hunger games is book from a series and you can read up on her inspiration for the books which definitely isn't some stupid jap movie, and asian film markets are always making remakes, knock offs and shitty sequels to European/North American Films.

  • @SnakeEyesElite You best hold your tongue and do some research of your own. Battle Royale is a book that was published in 1999. This is a trailer for a movie adaptation of that book. The hunger games do have a lot of striking similarities to Battle Royale which may or not be intentional (Collins is claiming not), but to me it's kind of like Fern Gully and Avatar. Just very many similarities that are noticeable
