Did Hunger Games steal also from The Resistance?

There is no doubt that Hungers Games is a complete ripoff of the all time classic Battle Royale. But that doesn't mean BR movie is the only movie HG stole from. Recently there has been some claiming that the heroine character from HG movie are similar to Xiaoyun the heroine of The Resistance movie. Here is some footage that one can see there some similarities.





Even though Jennifer Lawrence's character is Caucasian and Hu Sang's character is Asian but the similarities are almost the same, first of all if you look at their appearance, both black hair (even though JL is normally blond) and both dressed in black and both shocks their villains of becoming the unlikely hero for their people.





Another similarities is that they become a leader of the resistance group against their corrupt nemesis, at first both a lone wolves who later learn the only way to defeat a villain in high authority is to lead a rebellion group and lead them one way or another. The only difference is how they fight, Katniss is in a futuristic world so she fight with arrow bows and Xiaoyun is in China 1940 fights with knives and sneak and attack mode, also Katniss changed her costume to red in mocking jay.





But isn't it possible that The Resistance stole the character from Hunger Games? No unfortunately for the HG fans due to when they were released. The Resistance was released in North America at 2011 so there is a possibility that the producer and or the director saw the movie before finish Hunger Games since that movie was released in 2012.



With that said both China and Japan can be proud that a Hollywood stole from one of their movies, the next question is, are Battle Royale and The Resistance connected somehow in the same universe?
