Tarantino: 'Battle Royale' Ripped Off by 'Hunger Games'

Quentin Tarantino has begun revealing his top 20 films of the 21st century on 'The Bret Easton Ellis Podcast,' with 'Battle Royale' notably ranking at number 11. Tarantino expressed surprise that the creators of the 2000 Japanese dystopian film did not sue Suzanne Collins, author of 'The Hunger Games,' asserting that the latter directly copied 'Battle Royale.' He argued that while book critics praised Collins' work as original, film critics immediately recognized the plot's resemblance.
