Yea...I love me some KoF, but this is embarassing. Why...just please...someone give me a reason.
Greedy Hollywood screws over yet another classic Japanese franchise. The lack of effort and even research into the Japanese franchise this movie is evidently based on will obviously cause it to be a box office flop of HIGHLY epic proportions. They might as well rename this crap 'King Of Floppers'. Also, Gordon Chan is NOT an acclaimed action director. I never even heard of him until I saw this godawful trailer. The sheer lolwutness of that trailer was mind-boggling. What in the F***?!?!?! Whoever thought of making this movie is stealing my oxygen and I WANT IT BACK, DAMMIT!
KoF was a badass fighting game, but this is a disgrace. What's next, a Chrono Trigger movie by Uwe Boll?

No, sequels to Dragonball Evolution are next. And I'm not even kidding!
Maybe Uwe Boll is writting this under an alias since his name is synonymous with garbage. Can anyone even recognize who is supposed to be who in this trailer?
Ha, I couldn't figure that out either. I was looking for a few of my favorites but didn't recognize anyone.
Well looks like garbage; I'll be keeping up with it to have a good laugh.

Kyo is no doubt some anglotard, Iori's presence seems to be non-existent (definitely a good thing, since Iori is waaaaay too badass for this movie) and that Asian chick I saw a glimpse of is probably Mai/Yuri.
Cast list: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1038685/
Yeah, Maggie Q was supposed to be Mai - I guess we only get her hairstyle as opposed to... well, the "rest" of her, and yeah, Kyo is an "anglotard", as you so elequently put it Rishi.
And apparently Terry Bogard is in the movie, aong with Mature and Vice.
EDIT: Woah. According to wikipedia, the movie has already premired on the 4th Nov.
what does Anglotard mean?
I think in this context its a critisism of when they get American actors to play Japanese characters.

Yeah, that's where I'm coming from.
There will never be a good live action movie based on a fighting game. It's impossible.
They can't even be in the so bad it's good territory anymore!

Yeah, shame. At least the live action Street Fighter movie and the first Mortal Kombat movie were funny (albeit unintentionally).

Deep, man. Real deep.
"They get called to another dimension"
THIS IS KING OF FIGHTERS NOT MORTAL KOMBAT DUMBASSES.
Honestly. If they wanted to make a decent movie based on a fighting game, just follow the kinda formula that was used in Bloodsport - introduce us to our characters, explain a bit about what they're fighting for, then spend most of the movie with them beating the crap out of each other in tournament fashion!

xD! Hilarous! HAHAHAHAHAHAHA! I love that line.
It's like they wrote the trailer script with a movie trailer generator that combines cliche phrases.
Don't even JOKE about Chrono Trigger by Uwe Boll. That's like,.. there is no example that could even be remotely in league with that.
how terrible, my eyes are hurting me.
like what's been said, you cant even recognize the characters which is alone the biggest fail in the movie and not worth viewing. so i won't even give the movie the chance to explain the story, it sucks right off the cover enough not to watch it.
this is one movie i won't even support watching it on tv for free.
but i have to ask why do all the female characters look like cheap who**s in the movie!
japanese female game characters are cute, espacially the king of fighters girls...... ah i fear for my pretty Athena they better have been good to that poor cute kid in the movie.

Dude... its an Japanese SNK fighting game... their supposed to look like "cheap who**s". (Only kidding. I love you, Mai! <3)
And according to the cast list, Athena doesn't make an appearance
(Only kidding. I love you, Mai! <3)
I love Mai too, but she loves only Andy Bogard.
No Joe Higashi? Fail!
Damn it Hollywood, you already Screwed up Dragonball & Street Fighter (Twice!) Why you gotta ruin KOF for us too! Damn it, I just wish they would make a good game or anime adaption for once! Is that to much to ask!? well is it!?
No Joe Higashi? Fail!
Yeah, the lack of Joe Higashi blows. Joe's mah homeboy, baby! I want me some Muay Thai action!
For real though. Have you seen my Joe cosplay for Halloween? Check out photoexchange. xP
I have one really important question that trumps all others.
What the Dickens is the Hans Zimmer Batman theme doing in this piece of crap?!
I think everything else has already been accounted for so...yeah...sucky.

oh good, at least she was saved.
<introduce us to our characters, explain a bit about what they're fighting for, then spend most of the movie with them beating the crap out of each other in tournament fashion! >
that's what they did for the dead or alive movie..... it was horrible. it's all about the directer, he makes the movie rise or fall. too bad the good directers come in shot supply and hardly work for game based movies.... with the exception of residentevil and tomb raider.
Implying Resident Evil and Tomb Raider were good, I see. Dohohoho~

you dissagree? how can you?
espacially with residentevil... it was perfect i liked it better than parasite eve's movie even.
The first Tomb Raider movie was quite good. The second one not so much
yeah hollywood has that handicap when it comes to sequels why is it so hard for them? and why do they always go with the stupid idea of "add more"... add more characters, add more action, add more villians, add more jokes.....
just cause it has the number 2 on it doesn't mean it has to be double what the first movie is. that just wastes the idea.
take dragonball 2 they're making, i bet you a million bucks its the same style with the x2 everything logic.
kflsdflsak DBZ 2? NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Side note, MK 1 was awesome. RE1 was awesome. Laser grid scene 4tw. KOF trailer ..man Im glad I'm never gonna see it. I'd be irrrate.
DB that was awsome thank you so much
that fat guy in the kids outfit at the beginning reminded me of lee from madtv. he had the same expression too.
I liked the chun-li spin kick at the end. It was lolarious.
yeah but her victory bounce was even cooler
