Quentin Tarantino, the Academy Award-winning director and writer behind modern classics like Pulp Fiction and Inglourious Basterds, claims that the young adult dystopian book The Hunger Games, and thus the film series that followed, ripped off the Japanese action thriller classic, Battle Royale. Tarantino is a loyal fan of the film adaptation of Koushun Takami's novel, even claiming that it's the film he wishes he had been able to make. The director continues to show his passion for the dystopian action movie, slamming original "Hunger Games"author Suzanne Collins for copying the story from one of his favorite films.
