DeathscytheX 9,732 Report post Posted December 3, 2008 http://kotaku.com/5101163/king-of-fighters-movie-sounds-like-a-disaster+in+waiting King Of Fighters Movie Sounds Like A Disaster-In-Waiting To refresh: Gordon Chan is directing a King of Fighters movie. Previously, details were scant, but today, details on the flick have surfaced. We wish they'd remained scant. Seems filming has already begun in Canada, and the movie will star Maggie Q, Sean Faris, Will Yun Lee and Darth Maul himself, Ray Park. Those guys all have movie martial arts experience, that's the good news. The bad news is this: It also looks like the King of Fighters movie will introduce a new science fiction spin into the setting established in the games’ universe by following the surviving members of three legendary fighting clans who are continually whisked away to other dimensions by an evil power. As the fighters enter each new world they battle that universe’s native defenders, while the force that brought them seeks to find a way to invade and infect our world. Huh? Wha? You have until 2010 to prepare yourself for disappointment. Alright! as if it wasn't bad enough that 99% of all movie video games SUCK, lets go ahead and admit we've already decided to screw up the story line and change it into a pile of garbage!!!! Seeing as the 1st MK was probably the only good Video Game to move adaption, you think they would have followed that model... nope. SCI FI!!! Quote GET A NEW FUNK ON BEFORE YOU GET DUMPED ON!

Like SF they don't want to go anywhere near MK... even if the 1st MK movie was good. Quote Those who fight deplorables should see to it that they themselves do not become deplorables.

DeathscytheX 9,732 Report post Posted December 4, 2008 SF somewhat followed the storyline, but it was too goofy and they tried too hard to shove all the characters in the movie with their actually game costumes. MK1's success was based a little more off realism mixed with the fantasy. MK2 was just too wacky and dumb. Animalities X'D Quote GET A NEW FUNK ON BEFORE YOU GET DUMPED ON!

X'D I would watch this movie if it ended with Gurren Lagaan randomly showing up and owning everyone in all universes and dimensions. X'D Hmmm... Based on this leaked info, I wonder when Sci-Fi will release their b-movie saturday night version. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tristan9480 198 Report post Posted December 19, 2008 I'm getting sick of these damn video game to big screen adaptions. The least they could do is make it direct to dvd if they're going to fuck it up the way they did with DOA and so on. Quote [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
