    When a rogue fighter doesn't play by the rules, his thirst for power threatens to destroy the universe... with a sword?

    I'm pretty sure our universe is a little more robust than that.

    This movie just ends what may have been the year KOF died. This movie looks like all kinds of suck and KOF 12 was a unbalanced, piss poor mess that bombed so bad that even in China and Korea where KOF is huge (KOF 98 is still played to this day), the scene for the game doesn't even exist and the failure may have hurt SNK real real bad financially because of the money they put into it.

    Its sad because I have been a King of Fighters fan dating back to 96 and I own all the games for the Saturn but King of Fighters XII was the worst fighting game of 09 compared to Blazblue and SF4. It seems SNK just rushed and put out a product that had no love or real care from the developers or input from the small KOF community compared to Blazblue and SF4 which had the developers listen and take input from their fans.

    @legendnthemaking:KOF is so big that a well known group of RMT's that ran for a good while on FF11 on Lakshmi before getting murdered by the GM's was infamously named stuff like "Kofboss Kofmage Kofx Kofggg"

    Somehow we knew without a doubt that they were China or Korea RMT's.

    Even the trailer is poorly directed. Regardless, it looks like it's not quite Mortal Kombat Annihilation. I guess, if you're a fan, just grab you favorite substance, abuse it, and sit back and enjoy. Lucky me, I'm not a fan so I can just keep walking...

    How to successfully market this movie:

    Remove all scenes that do not contain copious amounts of nekkidness or ass whippings.

    Do not give the characters names relating to the characters from the King of Fighters series.

    Change the name of the movie from "King of Fighters" to "That Action Movie Where Ray Park Finally Talks."

    Sell as a DVD director's cut.

    Count money.

    This could be an interesting fighting movie, but it is in no way a translation of KoF from game to movie. Maybe, and I can't believe I am saying this, they should have taken a page from Paul W Anderson and the fighting game characters close to their source. Now I must shower because I said Paul Anderson was right about something.

    "his thirst for power - threatens to destroy the universe..." Very accurate, if the narrator was talking about the producer.

    Did they actually rip off a track from the superb Dark Knight soundtrack and expect nobody to notice? Good god, the level of failure in this movie just keeps rising and rising and rising. I'm not very happy with the KOF franchise after the disappointment that was XII, but it deserves better than this, damn it.

    @Mister Jack started the Save The Lombax Foundation: Well, that happens a lot, actually. The soundtrack from 'Aliens' is actually the most sampled soundtrack in movie trailers. At least they didn't use the 'Requiem for a Dream' theme.
    But, yes, this trailer looks incredibly uninteresting and that's bad for a movie that consists of people fighting.

    Ladies and gentlemen! I have seen quite some bashing concerning martials-arts films after after this trailer and I can blame no one for wanting to vent!

    HOWEVER! There is a very good one that I have seen recently that hopefully will not murder the genre for you. It is also a semi-bio pic.

    Best martial arts film I've ever seen.

    @slim934: Looks awesome! And if it puts to light the attrocities commited by japanese soldiers in WWII, all the better.
    I mean, I'm japanese decendant and have nothing against the country today (in fact, I want to move there someday), but somethings must be put to light only because it's the right thing to do, period. We can't have a part of history erased by whatever excuse they have for doing so.
