Talk:The King of Fighters (movie)

What the...?
Travelling to other dimensions? Is Kyo gonna fight aliens or something? I hate whent they change the original storyline for a live-action film... -- Mr.Kraken 10:07, 4 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Something in me tells me its going to suck but I'm being optimistic. I don't expect a Kurosawa good film but I hope to get a goofy laugh outta this if nothing else. Let's just hope it's not as bad as Mario or Double Dragon. Sake neko 19:03, 4 December 2008 (UTC)
 * I can't really imagine Terry as a "native defender of another dimension"... Well, at least Ray Park is in it, so the action scenes will probably be good... I guess. -- Mr.Kraken 20:39, 4 December 2008 (UTC)

Kyo and Mai
Are Kyo and Mai going to have a romantic relationship in the movie.
 * I don't know why you would assume that. In any case, what's written in the plot summary is all that is known about the story itself. I doubt there would be any romance in a movie like this and if there were... Let's just say I'd think it'd be a hack job and awkwardly added at best. Besides, why would it have to be Kyo or Mai hooking up with someone? It could be Iori or Chizuru or heck Rugal with one of his secretaries (if they remain that way in the movie). ;p kyosei 12:33, 22 June 2009 (UTC)

Dear God
I don't want Ray Park play Rugal Berenstein, I mean they have to dress him up with a convincing wig, an eyepatch, and arm him with his pet panther Rodem to impress me. Then we would see how he would stack up against the movie itself

Promo Pics and Images
I'm not sure of the legality of uploading images of the live action movie to here, so I'm just going to put links of where you can see them if you're curious. For those who are big fans of Rugal...avert your eyes.


 * Rugal, Mature and Vice
 * Mai

 * Christ. I've never seen a more unRugalish Rugal in my life. -- Goketsuji Fan 08:18, 24 June 2009 (UTC)

Cast comparion images
Something to chew on while waiting for the movie to come out. A fairly random and amusing article which shows photos of the actors next to images of the characters they're portraying. It can be seen here. At least a good majority of them have stunt double experience so at least the action, if nothing else, should look decent. Kyosei 22:57, September 19, 2009 (UTC)

Rugal
Well, Ray Park is from Glasgow, and the guy who played Bison in Legend of CHun-Li is Irish. So, if they decide to make a new Mortal Kombat movie, do you think we can get a Welsh Shang Tsung?

So how is "Rugal" pronounced, anyway? The KOF announcer has always emphasized the "Ru" part, kind of like RuPaul. The actors in the KOF movie seem to be saying "Rugal" as in "Frugal." And aside from this, what kind of a name IS Rugal, anyway? Were they trying for Roger? Luger? Did somebody say, "This sounds Western enough?" Does anybody know the answer to this? The other bosses generally either have real names (Goenitz, Mukai) or names that directly mean something (Igniz = Ignis, Krizalid = Chrysalis), but Rugal is just... Rugal.

 * Another Mortal Kombat movie? While possibility for it still lingers, I don't see any reason why they would make Shang Tsung Welsh. At least in Rugal and Bison's cases they were European/Caucasian to begin with. As for pronouncing his name, personally I've always said it as Ru-gall. The meaning of his name, based on a very quick and lazy google search, appears to mean fold or folded. Take that as you will. Kyosei 02:33, October 13, 2009 (UTC)
