If, like my wife, you've watched Battle Royale back in university you'll be able to compare the two.

Battle Royale (バトル・ロワイアル Batoru rouaiaru?) is a 2000 Japanese action-drama-thriller film based on the novel of the same name by Koushun Takami...The film tells the story of Shuya Nanahara, a high-school student struggling with the death of his father who is forced by the government to compete in a deadly game, where the students must kill each other in order to win. The film aroused international controversy and was either banned or excluded from distribution in many countries;[1][2] however, the film was a mainstream domestic blockbuster, and is one of the 10-highest grossing films in Japan.[3] It received worldwide audience and critical acclaim and is often regarded as one of Japan's most famous films, as well as one of Fukasaku's best films.

If you're in Toronto, The Hunger Games renewed enough interest in this previous movie that The Projection Booth theatre is showing it again.

When I first heard about hunger games my first thought was that it was a rip-off of Battle Royal. The author however says they were not aware that Battle Royal existed until after they finished the book.
