Quoting the AVGN:
"What the fuck where they thinking?!"
Really, this movie looks really awful...
C'mon, another dimension? That sounds plain stupid. I could recognize only Geese and Kyo, where's Iori, Rugal, Ralf, Terry and all the other characters?
And where's the color? KOF characters and stages are colorful and fun, this looks dark and bring...
Is this for real? This has got to be a really bad joke! But better laugh at this stupid nonsense xD it may surpass Dragon Ball movie in fail!
This HAS to be a joke. It looks like another generic action movie that JUST SO HAPPENS to have a long established fighting game's name slapped on the title. If this IS real, why do they do it? Seriously!!
And I think I saw a 2 second glimpse of Terry Bogard, I knew no one else. Maybe the guy in the white robe is supposed to be Geese Howard?
I hate it when the voiceover guy is trying to be that other famous voiceover guy and ends up just sounding like a parody of him, causing the trailer to look unintentionally funny.
Actually, isn't Ray Park playing Rugal, not Geese?
Yeah.. this is crap. Although, if they would just change the names of the characters, it would probably be an ok kung-fu flick. I just don't understand how a company, be it SNKPlaymore, or Capcom (with the chun-li movie) could sign off on something like this. As soon as this was talked about, they should have put the kibosh on everything that wasn't cannon.
I saw this awhile back, and it hurts even more seeing it again...but laughter helps hide my tears...
Next I wish to see Gordon Chan vs Uwe Boll in a fight to the death...but only if they double KO.
No.... No..... This can't be real. This is a joke right? hahaha April Fools guys? It's November, you guys are funny, hahahaha...... It's real isn't it...... FFFFFFFUUUUUUUU
All I'm doing is reading the comments... I'm not watching the trailer. Someone will have to pull a prank on me to actually make me watch this. I just don't feel like being in "Nerd Rage" mode for the next decade.
Seriously, I always hoped that King of Fighters would be obscure enough that we'd never have to deal with this. Hell, there hasn't even been a proper KOF anime series/OVA yet (Another Day was far too short - and far too based on KOF:MI - to count), and it's already getting raped by Hollywood.
Maybe they are really making a really great KoF movie. and they are only doing these extra bits to throw everyone off the trail of the really awesome movie they are making. It would be genius.
Wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooow...that was pretty special...O_o...well I guess I wouldn't expect anything less from a videogame to movie.
That looks amazing in its awfulness. I'm sold. I'm seeing it. I love bad movies. This looks like utter shite, and the fact that Ray Park and Maggie Q are in it makes its terribleness that much better.
Who the crap is Sean Farris?
Between this and the Tekken flick, my brain can't decide how many of its cells to kill off...
Wow! Nobody looks like anybody I'd recognize! They could call this "Generic Action Movir 35827" and nobody would think "Hey! Is this based on a videogame?".
I know video game movies are always bad... but this looks Double Dragon bad! XD
jesus some of these comments are fucking ridiculous. it's as if you guys weren't expecting this to suck.
video game movies are bad enough, but after seeing Street Fighter, Mortal Kombat, Dead or Alive etc. i thought it would be plainly obvious by now that when you try to make a film out of a game where the plot is almost non existent, you're going to end up with a massive turd. the only real surprise is anyone is still willing to make this crap.
I love how gamers think this is basically shit on a stick, showing the trailer to some people who've never even heard of KoF actually want to see it.
If you ignore that it's KoF and try to look at it as another bad Kung Fu movie, it might be watchable, but I bet everyone here cares too much about the games to let that happen. Still looks like shit, even for a martial arts movie, but I'm a sucker for them so I'll see it anyway.
On that note, you all need to see Dragon Tiger Gate, fucking glorious film.
Also, about Gordon Chan being an acclaimed action director, that's all bullshit, he only has one good movie and that's because it's a remake of a Bruce Lee movie starring Jet Li, with fight scene choreography by Yuen Woo-Ping (Matrix, Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon, Ninja Assassin (by Matrix dudes, I know), you can't fucking fail with that. Unless you're Uwe Boll.
Actually, fuck it, I don't want to see this movie anymore, I just want to kick Gordon Chan in the balls because I'm cheap and I'm not a Nunchaku Master.

That looks awful. Sean Farris's face after his name was hilarious though.
I mean...that can't....you can't...I don't....
Ah...

What did you do to my King of Fighters.
And I think I saw a 2 second glimpse of Terry Bogard, I knew no one else. Maybe the guy in the white robe is supposed to be Geese Howard?
Jesus Christ, I give the fuck up.....
This is real: link. Same stuff mostly, but has interviews and less Dark Knight music.
Hollywood has been slowly turning it every so often ever since.
Yeah.. this is crap. Although, if they would just change the names of the characters, it would probably be an ok kung-fu flick.

Oh well, their lose.

But seriously, as a huge KoF fan, I buried my face into my hands and cried. T_____T

How do you make a movie out of a fighting game? Plus, after all those failures? "Nah, mine is special! It's gonna be grrrreat!"
Also, Maggie Q is Mai? This is disgusting.
PLEASE TELL ME IT'S A FAKE!!!
