Just curious, did you watch this movie unsubbed? o_ô Battle Royale 2 has practically nothing in common with the original Battle Royale. The second movie is not about killing each other for survival.
The rules have been changed, and they don't need to kill each other, they need to kill Shuya Nanahara (winner of the original Battle Royale and head of a terrorist group) if they want to survive. The only thing in common with the original BR is that they still have 72 hours to kill Nanahara. The rules change to the extent that the collars will explode if your partner is killed (which is why so many die in the first 45 minutes).
In resume... in BR1 the rules are:
- 72 hours, or else the necklaces explode
- Only one winner by the end of it, no couples
- It's kill or be killed
- You might get the lamest weapon ever and still survive
In BR2, however...
- 72 hours, or else the necklaces explode
- Doesn't matter how many survive, the goal is to kill Nanahara
- All kids involved in BR2 get a FAMAS Type III rifle (which is one mean sunnova gun), no lame weapons
- If your partner of equal number (Girl #4 <-> Boy #4, for example) dies, your necklace will explode
I fail to see what's so similar to the first one. The rules are not the same, the story is not the same.
