Since the 1990s, 2D fighting game series King of Fighters has always been the (smaller), and some hardcore gamers say better, counterpart to Streetfighter. Streetfighter saw not one but two live-action movies based on the thin story lines of the games, and now someone in Hollywood decided it’s time for a King of Fighters movie. And does it surprise anybody the promo trailer that was just released looks horrendous?
Official plot:
The last surviving descendants of three legendary clans are continuously transported to other dimensions to test their martial arts skills against an evil force that seeks to invade and infect the real world.
The movie (whose official site doesn’t work for me) is scheduled for release next year in the US and this is a one-minute promo trailer that features the music from Dark Knight of all movies. Maggie Q (the evil woman in Die Hard 4) plays Mai Shiranui.

I love the series, but this, I do not look forward to. Is a skip.
It doesn’t look as bad as I thought. I might watch it if it comes up on Netflix streaming. At least the trailer didn’t make me sick like the first street fighter.
If you didn’t know what Kind of Fighters was I think this looks about as good as other normal action movies.
Sorry it took so long to comment after the story was posted. I was throwing up and pondering suicide now this world has a KoF movie.
this movie feels like, either a CollegeHumor musical or a Soap opera style action movie….
