I don't mean "out of this world" as a compliment, here. It's just fact. The movie based on the King of Fighters franchise is so detached from the game's own story that they had to set it IN A DIFFERENT DIMENSION.


You ready to see a not-so-curvaceous Mai, Terry Bogard as a CIA agent, a caucasian Kyo, and Iori as a hockey goalie? Watch the video below. Be warned, though: there are some things that just can't be unseen.

Kyo KASANAGI? Mai SHARANUI? Man... this movie looks like *****. Also, when did Terry Bogard look like a rent-a-cop from Arizona and sport that kind of hairdo?



I'm having some Jean-Claude Van Damme flashbacks... make it stop!!

good thing i have no idea about the universe and story of king of fighters. xD



also, i have been seeing a lot of ray park lately - from g.i. joe, recalling back to star wars phantom menace as darth maul, hellbinders (budget film), heroes (recent season) and now king of fighters. lol.

Mortal Kombat (the first one) was excellent, and very true to the game.

Now I've died a little inside. My wife just saw me laughing and saw how quickly that became tears of sorrow. I grew up on KOF and have always preffered it to SF or MK. The only thing that would make the world right again is if the Tekken movie sucks.

I found all the Mortal Kombat movies painful watch including the first one. Just terrible. But then I hate the MK games so that's probably why I couldn't get into it.

why in god's name would you watch a movie when you know you hate the subject matter?



the second movie is on par with just about every other vg>movie conversion. but the first one outclasses it by miles.

Ralf / Clark could've been the CIA guys if any. Toad as Rugal?! Seriously?! I can understand Mickey Rourke as Rugal or Liev Schriber as Geese, but TOAD?! KOF has become someone's TP lately as SNK is pooping all over it. KOFXII was another heartbreak and they could've easily included KOF:Online on the disc for the price. Now the movie is just awful from actors to plotline. I'd had a very different cast:



Mickey Rourke as Rugal Bernstein

The Green Ranger (Tommy) as Robert Garcia

David Batista as Maxima

Kristen Kruek as Athena/Yuri (I know capcom wouldn't let that happen) Screw it... Zhang Ziyi

Michelle Yeoh as Mai

Brian Tee as Iori

UFC's Lyoto Machida as Kyo



Lastly... remind me to NEVER use a JAWBONE Bluetooth device as apparently they teleport you to other dimensions!

i let it slide when nathan said it, because his post was actually intelligent...



there are only two of them. not 5 or 4 or even 3...



you may not have liked the first one, but you can't deny it was more faithful to the game and it's story than most vg > movie conversions.

I had to watch it cos I was at a friends house at the time and it was movie night and that's what he rented for all of us to sit down. Only he enjoyed it, but then he did dress up as Scorpion one time (not even for halloween, just a random day) and try to har***** everyone with that 'come here' and 'get over here' madness.
