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)

Cast
The cast is probably the one thing i hate most about this movie! Sean Faris playing Kyo Kusanagi is insulting! He said that he thinks there are 12 KOF games in the franchise and Bernice Liu mentioned a KOF '93 game! WOW!!! The idea of people that dont know anything about King Of Fighters watching this move is scary! What's scarier is that the actors in this movie don't know anything either. They know the bare minimal surface about the series and Gordon Chan should be sued to the Apocalypse!

If the end of the world were to come in 2012, its not because of natural disasters. Its because of this economy and the money spent on this movie could have help saved it! --SouthandNorthKorea 06:40, December 1, 2009 (UTC)

Not only did Bernice Liu claim there's a KoF '93, she also claimed Vice debuted in this nonexistant game, that she's played every game on her PSP, and that Vice is in every single one. Yeah. Apparently she thinks the fans are as stupid as she is.

Reception in Japan
I'm curious now, can't say if Sake neko, Kyosei, or someone else with experience with the Japanese fanbase will be able to tell, but how is this movie being received in Japan so far? I'd also like to know what is SNK's reaction to the overhaul that the storyline suffered, if they released any official statements. I really hope this movie doesn't eff KOF's popularity up. -- Mr.Kraken 15:58, December 26, 2009 (UTC)

About the movie
Honestly I don't mean to be brutal, but this movie is is a complete disappointment, and it is just as bad as the old street fighter movie, just take it from me SNK Playmore, stick to the anime. 7:55 ThunderBeam707 July 15, 2010 (UTC)

New idea for a better KOF live action movie
well if your wondering why i'm posting this in this particlar area of the snk wiki page its cas my idea for a new king of fighters movie kind of taking place after kofxiii so its suppose to be like a new canon attached to the most recent upcoming kof game....well it starts like this in my mind i came up with the idea of the premier team for this new tournment of course its still a 3 on 3 affair and i'm hoping if i can ever get this script published or even more get to produced....that the movie would kind of go back and forward between kyo's team which consist of the usual benimaru and goro with shingo there too but hes just comedy relief...my team (the reason why i say "my" is cas i can invisioned a self made character kind like falcoon did with alba) or better known as "Team Gaia" would consist of the following memebers Oro Tenma (myself made character who is raised by Gaia herself in human form and is given great power that can even rivial orochi's but goes by the title Gaia's heart with occassional appearences by Gaia as a pale woman in a long white dress with long black hair and no shoes who is quiet but very affectionate towards the sacred treasures when she meets them) other teamates are Iori Yagami and of course none other than Ryuji Yamazaki....now to explain how the team formed...well Oro Tenma is reintroduced to soicety after being in Gaia's care his whole life he has great knowledge of the world around him but speaks in a kind of old fashion manner such as using phrases as "oh my or oh dear what do we do?" he seems like just another teenage entry into the tournment but actually later on its revealed about his powers and how kyo attacks him mistaking him to be a legion of orochi when he actually on his side...the reason he enters the tournment however wont disclose..Gaia sends him to a man of great wealth whos family have secretly been serving Gaia for centuries..on known to the Orochi clan members....his last name happens to be Tenma and after the Mr.Tenma gives the Oro funds and one way ticket to the kof finals for him and two others for the up kof he goes and meets Yamazaki drawn to him by his orochi blood at first Yamazaki of course cracks wise at seeing Oro but then after Oro persudaes him by paying a large amount of money with the promise that if they win the tournment Yamazaki would get Oro's share of the money as well.....the two spend months together and eventually Yamazaki becomes amused by Oro and they eventually become good friends and would be seen throughout the movie both of them mocking their opponents or arguing who gets to tear into their new opponents first but even though some fist are thrown they still remain respective partners and friends. However, when they go to get Iroi on their team while there is only a few days before the actual tournment enlistment...Iroi yagimi of course goes out his stubborn routine with them Yamazaki of course mocks and calls him weak so does Oro by saying "so your not gonna join us in the tournment....ah i see your scared that kyo guy gonna kick your ass again? well thats so sad' this causes Iori Yagami to rush Oro only to find out Oro is way stronger then he ever thought catching Iori's hand while his flame was cast and not recieving any burns by it and smiling in Iroi's face....eventually Iori does decide to come along cause he sees this as a better chance then any to finally defeat kyo...later on after 3 victories in the tournment Iroi goes into riot blood after Oro mimics orochi original aura to force Iori to fight against the blood within him however Iroi is not successful and attacks Oro going full strength mercilessly beats Iori for 3days when they imerge from a secret trainning area 2 days before their team's next match the media is a buzz as it was said during those three days unexplain purple flames where said to have rosen great heights as if Iori Yagami yet again has killed his teamates of course this is not true and the buzz around Oro begins to pan out into large rumors of him being stronger then both Kyo and Iroi combined....in this anime my vision is to get the best stylist in order that all the kof favorites that would be making a appearence in the movie are not disapointing but instead looking like the character they are suppose to be based on to the "T" except if there are multiple scenes were days have gone by you'd probably get to see some of your favs sporting casual attire...Team Gaia and Team Japan are the main teams the story is based upon....oh and Oro gets in a friendly street brawl in south town with Alba as well as Oro having love interest with Xiao Lon which after this movie turns into a spin off anime-movie of Xiao Lon and Oro's adventures together (comedy due to the fact Oro marries Xiao in the beginning of the spin off and she kisses him and he throws up he doesnt die from constant exposure to her poison but he does get sick alot cas she begins to like to reward him with kisses even after he just defeated a strong opponent she embraces him and kisses his lips he passes out and ends up in the hospital but walks out of there a few moments later...the reason Xiao isnt worried about her touch killing him is cas during the live action movie when he meets her for the first time and spends more time around during the tournment he promises her among their engagement that he will do his best to gain a resistance to her poison in order for her to finally live a normal life like a normal woman...after they are married word spreads to her clan that she has found a husband and that he was a member of Team Gaia......how see this animated movie is just poking alittle fun at kof definitely with Duo Lon reaction after he sees Oro endure one of his little sisters toxic kisses and exclaimes "your not human are you..." by the way heres the profile on my self made character :

Name: Oro Tenma

Height:5'11

Weight: 145lbs

Blood type: unknown

Relatives: Gaia (who he refers to as mother), Xiao Lon (who becomes his eventual wife) and Dou Lon (brother in-law)

Job: Heart of Gaia (basically extra power on the side of the sacred treasures incase more troublesome events may arise)

Likes: beating his friend Yamazki in black jack, Xiao Lon (of course), cranberries (preferably juice form), and messing with Iroi and Kyo in the middle of they're rivalry fights (sometimes mocking them to a extent they stop fighting and attempt to attack him...this happens most of all when he refers to their hate-hate realationship as "misfated lovers")

Dislikes: basically ppl who oppose him;ppl who question his humanity

Favorite Food: cranberry juice (extra bitter) and sweets

Special Skill: his ability to endure and temporary shut off the use of any Gaia based power (which the shut off time only last about 2mins) also his ability to survive Xiao's touch, cooking, and other things.

Weapons: none

Fighting Style: combonation of self-taught infused with Gaia based abilities such as being able to use more then one element like: earth, fire, water, wind, light, and darknesss(isnt over powered due two he doesnt really rely on his choices of elements much more of a nullifier when it comes to some of his attacks go)

Specials(what i've thought of so far): Life or Death?- a move which invovles him running towards his opponent connnecting with a front flip and sends the opponent into the air (as he waits on the ground below) grabs the opponent's neck mid fall (when nearest to him of course) and smashes them into the ground creating miniture shock wave and ending with a final kick to the stomach which sends the opponent sliding across the ground a few feet away

(Movie special) Heaven and Hell- is a special in which Oro begins unleashing a powerful package of punches and kicks ending with him knocking the character into the air in which Yamazaki apears "who is the Heaven" by cutting the character up with his trademark knife hitting them with one final smashing hit towards the ground and Oro "hell" who stands under the limp falling body of the character with his fist up as the body lands dead center on it

Gaia's last tear- A power last resort attack in which a more powerful mimic of riot blood is performed by Oro without the loss of sanity and has noticible changes his hair turns white and eyes black as he sends all his elements at his opponent the last elemental projectile light and darkness turns out to be Oro himself doing a really fast drop kick while his body is engulfed in the two elements

feel free to make suggestion on what i may need to change or if i'm going to far with this introduction of a new powerful character thrown into the kof world... but dont worry about it really its just a idea but if you have ideas for characters too then go ahead lets see them i would like to know how you'd picture your own kof designed character into the game was half awake while posting this so please forgive the many many error i may of made while typing this if you do try to read it all kudos to you hopefully you'll understand about 80% of it
