Old news, but anywho.


A lot of us have seen DOA: Dead or Alive Movie based off of the Dead or Alive Video Game Series by Tecmo and Team Ninja. That movie was obviously low budget and full of bad acting BUT, I didn't think it was TOO bad. I kinda liked it.

Then we all remember street fighter and mortal combat. Uhh...do we want to remember? Decent, but not good enough.

Now there's a king of fighter's movie? when is it going to stop? But I'm actually very interested in this one because why? Because it's cool.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

WHO'S FIT TO PLAY THE CAST?

I think these people!!!!
YouTube - emcmonkeys king of fighters spoof
YouTube - King of Fighters Cosplay
YouTube - King of Fighters Cosplay
^Watch it, it's worth it especially the third video, 2:34-2:38^

yeah they're cosplayers but they DO look like the characters and THEY ARE TRAINED IN MARTIAL ARTS

But I'm also thinking of real mixed martial arts professionals too.

Characters are most likely going to be:

-Kyo Kusanagi
-Iori Yagami
-Soiree Meira
-Alba Meira
-Billy Kane
more

I'd like to see:
-Joe Higashi
-Rock Howard
-Mai Shiranui
-Terry Bogard
-Ash Crimson
-Athena
more.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

it's an asian film but all characters will speak english. I wonder how that will go...

you're thoughts on the new film?

To tell you the truth this is actually starting to sound really good, mainly because of the director. At first I thought it was going to end up q disappointment like Street Fighter, but now that Chan is directing, from the movies he made, its looking pretty good.
