Based on the video game, Fatal Fury is widely regarded as one of the best kung fu anime features. The good guys are Terry "Hungry Wolf" Bogard and his brother, Andy; Thai kickboxer Joe Higashi; and the curvaceous ninja Mai. With their masses of spiky blond hair, narrow blue eyes, and sharp features, the Bogard brothers almost cross over into the "beautiful boy" genre, but they and Joe are muscled like dinosaurs. Mai, who has a crush on Andy, provides both humor and jiggle interest in a succession of minuscule outfits. The heroes are pitted against an assortment of equally buffed-out Bad Guys, led by Laocorn, a descendant of the ancient clan of Gaudeamus, who is seeking to obtain "the armor of Vulcan." A relic going back to the time of Alexander the Great, the armor transforms anyone who wears all seven pieces of it into a god. But Laocorn's twin sister, Sulia, knows it will also make the wearer hopelessly evil: she enlists the Bogards and their friends to prevent her brother from acquiring the scattered pieces. Director Masami Obari uses all the standard tricks for the bone-crunching martial arts battles--blurs, streaks, slow-motion images of blows landing on skulls, camera spins, flashes of lighting, flames, and, of course, gobs of blood. Fatal Fury feels like a cross between an Indiana Jones film and a WWE tag-team match, and is sure to delight adolescent boys. (Rated 13 Up) --Charles Solomon

- Buster Wolf!?!
"Are you okay?!"
This review is going to be a little biased because I first saw this movie during my junior high days in the mid 1990s.At the time, fighting games were the rage from Street Fighter to Mortal Kombat.Enter the world of Fatal Fury.Fatal Fury one was actually released before Street Fighter II, and often gets overshadowed by the Ken and Ryu franchise.In terms if animated movie production though; Terry and his crew of Andy, Mai, and Joe would defeat Street Fighter Incorporated ...

Rating: - POWER GEYSER!!!!!!!!!
This was one of the first anime I ever saw, following the first two installments and Bio Booster Armor Guyver. It was, and still is, one of the most awesome, outrageous, far out action movies ever. The music is killer and epic, the attitude is daring and optomistic, the action is special move for special move eye boggling, and the story is classically ludicrous. It's the kind of anime that was so off the wall that it begged recognition over seas. Masami Obari is sadly one of the forgotten masters of early anime. ... Read More

- great anime
I enjoy two things in anime, people fighting in giant robots and people fighting with super powers.This movie satisfies the latter in a major way.

- Boring!
To be quite honest! This movie SUCKED! The story was somewhat senseless, the villien, Laocorn was very boring and stupid, some of the characters were dumb, and most of all, Mai was ruined and actedsilly and annoying! But, there was one character I liked, Laocorn's lovely, and cute sister, Sulia! I'm telling you! This movie was soooooooooooooooo BORING! The fight secens wern't too bad! But, even those were boring! So, if you are a Fatal Fury fan or not, stay away from this movie!
Rating: - the King of Fighters
I love the video games Fatal Fury and when I heard theirs a movie I just couldn't wait. After seeing the Street Fighter 2 movie it was great. I'm thinking the animation on this movies is just as good. I can tell this one will have lots of action
