First images from King of Fighters film
BY Matthew Razak Mar. 19th, 2009 More on:

I know nothing about King of Fighters other than the fact that it’s an amazing fighting game series to rival Street Fighter. So when we got the below images of the upcoming King of Fighters movie I figured someone around here would be more interested in it than me. Unfortunately, no one seems to be interested in the film. Then again, why should they be? The plot has evidently been all messed, the budget looks to be about around the same price as a Happy Meal and it’s being directed by Gordon Chan, whose greatest claim to fame is Fist of Legend, a fantastic Jet Li film, but hardly because of his directing. If you saw Jackie Chan’s The Medallion, which was also his, you’ll probably have the right caliber of movie.

Maggie Q is leading the no name cast into the action, and hopefully everyone can fight. Is anyone else tired of American films with stars who can’t fight? If you’re going to go with a bunch of B-grade actors why not go with no names who can at least put up some impressive moves? At least the plot sounds like it could be set up to house some impressive fight scenes. Three legendary warriors are whisked to different dimensions to do battle with the dimension’s guardians by an evil force which is trying to destroy our dimension. As long as talking is kept to a minimum and each dimension has some awesome guardians we could see some interesting fights. All I’m hoping for is something a bit better than the Street Fighter movie. It appears we’ll get to see the film in action come Monday at MovieSet. I suggest a vomit bag just in case.

      Wow I had no idea they were working on a KOF movie. LOL. Yeah not sure how this could ever turn out to be good…unless they do a good job portraying Mai Shurinai. :P

      They need Stephen Chow to start directing fighting game movies. :)

      While I do realize that Maggie Q is the biggest name in the film, I must ask that you keep the ol’ vomit bags in the upright and locked position and at least check out the behind the scenes fight footage. From the interviews it seems that extensive research has gone into making a great fighting movie, will it win an Oscar? No! But judge for yourself after you see the exclusive on set footage. http://www.movieset.com/king-of-fighters

      KING OF FIGHTERS THE MOVIE.

      Street fighter The Legend Of chun Li did not work out very well at the box office so we have other
      beat em’up games going to movies with Tekken and King Of Fighters.
      I don’t think that Tekken is not going be any good but it might do it’s justice well no
      way and this one The King Of Fighters the live action adaptation of SNK fighting game series the budget is $12 million so I think the movie will be a flop,I bet World Heroes could go into a big screen with a cheesy storyline as well.
      If the KOF movie would be alright to see same with Tekken I think Tekken looks like a little bit like that Hong Kong movie The Avenging Fist.
      Thank You.
