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!!

# lol. — ov3rkill 2009-10-01 07:12

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.

# well... — ief 2009-10-01 07:25

.......at least Maggie Q is nice to look at...?

I don't know a whole lot about the KOF univerese but still....

When will there be a good fighting video game > movie version? Never?

# ... — ChaosZero112 2009-10-01 08:22

I like it...

# nope — rollypoly 2009-10-01 08:22

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

# OMG — Kindredsupreme 2009-10-01 11:58

Another GREAT FIGHTER FRANCHISE gone to shi.ts cause of retarded writers/directors the orochi saga was the best of KOF these people telling me that they cant make a proper movie out of that ....and wth is up with Terry all i got to say is LOL

# Thank you QJ — Daistaar 2009-10-01 12:31

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.

# kof lol — vizard00 2009-10-01 12:46

is this a youtube movie or a joke , i dont get it ! this movie is made for kof players and i dont see any KOF fight style on it , also what the fu swords are doing in a kof movie, kyo actor sucks , hope this movie never out bcz its a insoult to large kof community

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.

# um... — rollypoly 2009-10-02 08:00

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.

# yeah bro a part of me just died also — darknaiyo 2009-10-02 08:43

I grew up playing kof and metal slug on the arcade machine since 1996( i was 5 back then) and to find out that hollywoods greed did this to part of my childhood,

R.I.P.-part of my childhood 1996-2009

p.s. Why terry!!!. wouldn't clark or even ralf be better for the part of CIA

# The Mortal Kombat Movies... — Datnizzle 2009-10-02 15:08

all suck.

# EXACTLY! — Daistaar 2009-10-02 17:25

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!

# both... — rollypoly 2009-10-02 20:54

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.

# ... — NathanDrake 2009-10-07 07:38

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.
