I didnt notice until you said so lol, the main characters (good or evil) look so similar in both movies... but one main difference is that, in battleroyal the killing is done by classmates (mostly) and in Sword of a Stranger is done by that chinese/western company, only contracted to kill (and the othre stuff they do). Is not the same to kill your friends, everyone trying to avoid it, people going crazy about it; as killing cause you are paid and/or enjoy it.
