Son of a bitch, they care about source material. I think we have a surprise brewing.

Doesn't look like the skanky ninja type

Had no idea this was even happening. Cool.

She's legit action, though. Most of the cast are.

[Funky Fly]

I know she's a legit action star. I just find it hilarious that she's playing a slutty ass ninja whose tits fall out every 5 seconds.

[#BROKEN Hasney]

So is this the 94-97 saga, or the 99- ? saga? From what they are saying, I think it's the latter, but to be perfectly honest I have never followed the storyline (probably because 98 was my fave and that was a Dream Match type dealie)

[Kalyx triaD]

Not sure about the story and I don't want to know.

[#BROKEN Hasney]

Just Czeched it out. The Orochi saga is 95-97 (94 was not included) and thats what the film is based on.

[Kalyx triaD]

I'm familiar with the Orochi Saga, as well as the whole clone saga trip; I was saying that the movie plot isn't known to me.

[LuigiD]

No idea they were making a movie based on this. Kinda cool.

[Gone Mad]

Maggie as Mai

Figures they'd turn her clothes black (they usually do for these kinds of movies), but I called it. She doesn't look like a ridiculous ninja slut. Stick a tutu on that and she could be a ninja ballerina tho.

[Kalyx triaD]

Kinda weird having her and not Andy or Terry.

[Kane86]

Thats what all directors say about doing video game movies. Paul Anderson supposedly cared about the source material too. But htis movei will suck just like every other video game movie.

[Funky Fly]

They're not in it? lol

I could understand if they're leaving out kinda useless people like fucking Duck King, but certain people should have cameos at the very least.

The first part I agree with, the second part is typical Kane86 overgeneralized stuff-n-nonsense.

Yeah I heard or read nothing about the bros. Or Art of Fighting characters for that matter. I would have made FF and AoF first and then lead into KoF. I wrote about ideas in detail in another forum.

Still, I'm interested. And I'm loving the adaptation fever going on.

No your jsut believing the lie and I am tryign to save you disappointment.

[Gone Mad]

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_King_of_Fighters_(film)

It says that Terry IS in the movie. No Andy though.

Then again, it's Wiki.

[Kalyx triaD]

"Save your disappointment." Okay...

I fucking dare you to explain that in a coherent, perfectly logical post you stupid self-love holocaust survivor. It doesn't even have to be something I agree with, just logical.

Whether I put you on ignore or not is on the line. Go.

So I see.

* Sean Faris as Kyo Kusanagi
* Will Yun Lee as Iori Yagami
* Ray Park as Rugal Bernstein
* Françoise Yip as Chizuru Kagura
* Hiro Kanagawa as Saisyu Kusanagi
* Monique Ganderton as Mature
* Maggie Q as Mai Shiranui[3]
* David Leitch as Terry Bogard
* Sam Hargrave as Ryo Sakazaki
* Bernice Liu as Vice

Terry and Ryo as well, I owe these guys a cheeseburger.

I think this is just going to be anohter diem a dozen video game movie that is not going to mean anything.....

Well tell me why your so intrested in it?

[Kalyx triaD]

For one I wouldn't have expected a movie based on the 'other' 2D fighting game series. Secondly, although you're right that all adaptation productions preach source material and such, I see with my eyes that they aren't taking the project dead seriously (just look at Vice and Mature). It looks like a fun production. And I don't know if you've noticed, but I'm generally interested in stuff like this. Kinda common knowledge, really. With Terry and Ryo confirmed, I'm interested with how they're directing it now. Chi attacks or none, realistic fights or wire-fu, I want to know.

I like movies and I like games, doesn't take much to get me excited about a new player. But that doesn't mean I'm down for missteps like Legend of Chun-Li - which was a directorial and production failure.

I agree with what your saying and the Resident Evil movies are a guilty pleasure of mine. So I am not saying I hate every videogame movie and I did enjoy Hitman, I knew the new Street Fighter was going to be terrible I just wish Hollywood coukld get something right. I really did enjoy Resident Evil Degeneration they did something right for once on that....

[Kalyx triaD]

The 'they' you refer to are the actual game company guys, which says a lot. I mean Hollywood with all their resources ran RE into the ground with the last one, while Capcom themselves release the best RE movie ever. But that goes into the pros/cons of live action vs CGI and let's not open that box.

I also find it ironic that Paul Andersuck made the first RE and Mortal Kombat, major credits to videogame movies. While Eww Bowl gets to make a bunch of rapefests due to some German tax loophole, and he never came close to justifying his director chair (though I hear Postal was above suckage).

I know armchair analysis can get annoying but I feel at times that it's not really that hard... Or perhaps it is. I just wanna sit down some of the biggest failures at these things and grill 'em on certain matters. Is there anything like that? Like how the press grills certain guest of things like politics and such? There should be someone out there to hold directors and producers accountable for releasing feature length suck.

Postal was his only good movie

[Blitz]

Can't see Ray Park as Rugal.

[Kalyx triaD]

I thought that too. Too short.

C-cups would have been nice.

Wait what? Alternate dimension? Terry is a CIA agent? Iori Yagami appears to be some sort of hockey player?

I don't even know.

[Danny Electric]

Paul Andersuck

You ever watched Event Horizon?

[Kalyx triaD]

Yes, decent movie.

And LOL at Terry. Great writing there.

LOL

[Kalyx triaD]

What. The fuck. Is so hard about writing this shit? I do not understand shit like this. Studios think they're clever getting guys who don't know the source material to write it (worked with GI Joe Resolute, Mortal Kombat), but most of the time you get shit like this and Legend of Chun-Li. I wonder if it was a writer or studio thing... In any case, I feel sorry for them.

I should just write adaptations for these things and at least try to get them out there.

[Jura]

Best movie ever.

[Kalyx triaD]

It's definitely gonna top a few lists.

[Fignuts]

wow.

Epic.

The "I hate you" line was actually funny, though. Otherwise epic fail. I wanted to believe.

[Furious Beardsley]

Interesting, I've never played KoF but I tend to generally check out video game movies, if I find them interesting looking and the preview can draw me in.

On a Troll note:
STREET FIGHTER IS THE GREATEST VIDEO GAME MOVIE EVER!!!!11!! :$

[Kalyx triaD]

Legend of Chun-Li is gdlk

[Funky Fly]

How sad is it that Kane86 was right?

[Kalyx triaD]

I owe him a dollar or something.

[Funky Fly]

You can't be surprised though. When has hollywood ever done a good fighting game movie, or for that matter, videogame movie?

[Kalyx triaD]

Resident Evil (1)
Mortal Kombat (1)

Both directed by Paul Anderson.

Dead or Alive directed by Cory Yuen (actually fun)
Doom (I liked it)

I enjoyed Doom as well. I thought it was a fun movie. I really enjoyed the FPS sequence.

The first BloodRayne movie was so awful it was hilarious. I like watching that one for a good laugh.

[Jeritron]

Videogame movies have been pretty shit up and down. Huge joke. But that's well known.
I suspect something will eventually come along that will be very good though, and then Hollywood will jump all over video games and start making a ton of high budget adaptations with much more talented directors and actors.
Pretty much the same thing that happened with comic book movies.

[Funky Fly]

I'll Concede Mortal Kombat because it's that same kind of so-shitty-it's-good ridiculousness that 90s Street Fighter movie is. So I guess Street Fighter in that sense too.

I hated all of those other films tho. Fighting game adaptations are best done as comics and anime.

[Blitz]

Holy shit@ that vid. Downloaded this to see how awful it is, not even sure if I want to watch it now.

[Furious Beardsley]

I hope that that Mortal Kombat trailer that surfaced earlier this year ends up turning into a movie, because that looked awesome. A totally different take on the franchise.
