The finest of pedigrees.

Some movie adaptations capture the spirit of the source material so well that the world is never quite the same once you've experienced their wonder and light.

These titles still resonate throughout the subconscious of mankind.

Street Fighter: the movie.
DOA: dead or alive.
Double Dragon.
Mortal Kombat:annihilation.

And from this first shot, it's obvious that we'll soon have another stellar title to add to this illustrious list.

The King of Fighters

Uncanny.


There's also a whole series of on-set videos to watch, (assuming your mind is still contained within your skull and not blown across your room from the amazingness of the photo)

Here's one of them for your viewing pleasure.




Wow.
Via Sankaku complex (site nsfw)




There is some genuine fighting movie talent involved in this film, but I'd still bet my dreamcast on it being teeeeeeerrrible.
