Title: All aboard the fail train!
Post by: Strider Xhaiden on January 23, 2009, 08:42:08 AM: Yeah. I found this on Wikipedia.

(http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/a/a3/King-of-fighters-movie.jpg)

My initial reaction was "Wow, cool." But then I read the article.

"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," says insider blog Movieset.

"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."

Good Lord, NO! Why do they need to butcher the story like this? But wait, it gets better! Look at the casting.

Maggie Q as Mai Shiranui
Sean Faris as Kyo Kusanagi
Will Yun Lee as Iori Yagami
Ray Park as Rugal Bernstein
Françoise Yip as Chizuru
Hiro Kanagawa as Saisyu Kusanagi
Monique Ganderton as Mature
David Leitch as Terry Bogard
Bernice Liu as Vice
Sam Hargrave as Sam

Let me just illustrate this for you.

This guy: (http://solitaryphoenix.com/WillYunLee2.jpg) is playing this guy: (http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/2/26/Iori.png)

Will the fail never end? It's not out till 2010 and I already hate this movie. What do the rest of you think of this?

That was your initial reaction? Really? Cause when I see movies like this being made, my first thought is always, "My God..." promptly followed by an "Opening Day!"

You know, I thought I mentioned they were making this. I've known about it for a while.

...nevermind, too late

As for the actor playing Iori, it looks like he COULD pull it off, kinda like in the same vein as the guy playing Goku pulled off a somewhat realistic version of said character. Then again, we'll just have to wait until the costume is done. Note that I'm talking visually, NO WHERE NEAR actual character.

As for the movie, well, Crappywood can't think up anything original, and since books are being overdone, they have to go with games and anime. Hitman, Max Payne, Bloodrayne, Street Fighter, Dragonball, Astro Boy, Gatchamen, Speed Racer, and now King of Fighters. The change to the story is just BAD though. Seriously? Fighting clans? That's just bad. I don't know a whole lot about the KoF series, but I know for damn sure that wasn't the backstory. Spatial disrupting aliens? That's just...oh good lord, this makes the crap happening in the Dragonball movie look good.

Wait, wait, what?

There was an Astro Boy and Gatchaman movie? When?

more like "is". the same team that did the TMNT movie is doing those two. Gatchaman, I don't know too much of the details, but Astro Boy is CGI. Looks damn good too, but I don't know who the voice actors are though. EDIT: Went to Wikipedia and found out two very interesting things. 1. The kid from August Rush and Spiderwick Chronicles is voicing Astro Boy (shouldn't be too bad, I saw August Rush and the kid did a damn good job in it, and could probably pull off Astro better than most), and 2. The creator of Astro Boy wrote the script of the movie.

This. The Astro Boy trailer looks awesome, even if it is short.

As the all the other crapfests... is it really that [tornado fang]ing hard to go find a fansite and read about the story of the game they're trying to make a movie of? It must be, considering the article and choice for the cast.

Maggie Q is far too small to be playing as Mai. So unless Maggie gets implants in the near future, the only reason I would actually see this horrible crapfest will be gone.

The story is about as accurate as Uwe Boll is at making good video game movies, you honestly think they'll care about bust size?

Seriously though, I have to wonder just what in the hell were they smoking when they came up with the plot. At least the Dragonball movie has more accurate tie-ins (the Dragonballs, Goku being the good guy, kamehamaha, and Piccolo being the bad guy). This? I wouldn't be surprised if they had the giant douchbag villain from the series be the good guy and someone who's supposed to be dead turn out to be the turd who's causing the warps 'n stuff happening.

At least that movie was a classic and good movie for the lulz due to the inconsistencies and crap that was going on, this is just taking the plot and having a giant crap dumped all around it.

Post by: Solar on January 23, 2009, 04:53:25 PM: Except for the cast this is really old for me, and I've already done all of my raging (in silence). Ever since this movie was announced, my expectations were the lowest possible. Now that information was released my expectations increased. I know that sounds illogical, but after this I expect the movie to be so bad that it's awesome (like Mario Bros or Street Fighter) instead of so bad that it's aweful.

Well, at least they kept the three clans thing in it. I do wonder, if they're going with the whole "different worlds" thing why have Rugal instead of Orochi? Not that I complain since Rugal is badass and awesome. Also, what world is Terry from? Engrish world? 8D

I think Japan beat them to it, I think it happens to have a very, thin legged Gundam. I was wondering if they ever touch Code Geass or litterally make an X4 movie.

If they did make a GG, I know Robo-Ky would buy a bazooka and blast the buildings, who's thier writer? Seth McFarlene?

Post by: Rin on November 30, 2009, 04:25:46 PM: That trailer... Jesus... effin... Christ.
I've only just recently started playing KoF(today, to be exact) and... WHAT THE [tornado fang] IS THIS [parasitic bomb]?!
Or wait, I know almost nothing about KoF plot.
Someone enlighten me, is this movie really going off with the plot (except the ANOTHER DIMENSION WOO part, I know that this is bullshit) ? I mean, maybe KoF just does not have such great plot, and they are trying to just simply create something from those little scraps of plot the game has?

If that's not the case... then I'm now awaiting BLAZBLUE THE MOVIE.

It's a really really really really really really really really really really bastardized version of the plot, only similarity is the names, not even a single character looks like they should. Sad thing is that there actually is a decent plot they could use.

Honestly, when the actors mention they did their research on non existing games you know they didn't even give a [parasitic bomb].

Post by: Waifu on December 01, 2009, 03:48:20 AM: The thing is figthing games were never really big on plot, it was always just a bunch of people gathered to some tournament in order to win the ultimate prize and defeat the Big Bad SNK Boss that is behind everything in the game who just happens to be the same guy you beat last game or some organization whatever. I will agree with Taiyo on this, they should at least play the game or read the manuals in order to get an idea of the characters even if the plot is convoluted but I really hate that they don't games seriously enough to make a decent move out of it. I know some thingsa may not work on the silver screen but come on, make some effort into making an awesome movie and even if it isn't a part of the games canon, show us that you understand the series enough that you could make your own game series out of it.

Warner brothers has been after it, Capcom constantly refuses.

Post by: Mega Greasy Houdini Tek 54321 on December 05, 2009, 06:04:35 PM: Capcom saw the trailer and actually gave him a $5000 budget to make it. That's what everyone at my Anime club told me.
Title: Re: All aboard the fail train!
Post by: Dr. Wily II on December 05, 2009, 06:10:10 PM: $5000?
Well... At least there's some funding...

He would have mentioned it and it would be all over Protodude's blog by now.

What Capcom DID do, is contact him and say they encouage his effort and they are happy that he's doing that sort of fan thing.

Ok, movie's out, and completely surpassed expectations in a horribly bad way XD

Time to get some brain bleach and forget this ever existed.

Dear christ, what is this [parasitic bomb]?! Could they have pulled any more out of their ass than this? Dear [tornado fang]ing christ. I mean, the first arc of King of Fighters can't be condensed into a single movie, but god damn it, you can at least get [tornado fang]ing close!

Except the older SF movies, I watch them as if they were a seperate entity as a whole (I didin't like Chun Li becase it was less than a generic action movie with corny humor, and more of another The fast and the Furious movie ripoff). Besides.. who doesn't love the memes that spawned from them? 8D

Dude, it was good. No nostalgia goggles, here. I had known about it in the past, but never really seen it until about a year or so ago and it was classic.
