5.0 out of 5 stars
An awesome martial arts spectacle., December 6, 1999
"Fatal Fury: The Motion Picture" is one of the better video game based Anime's. Even though the characters have this peculiar look to them, overall animation is beautifully drawn and accentuated by the energetic action sequences. A story of several martial artists out to stop a man from achieving god-like status, by acquiring Armor of God, might seem a bit cheesy at first, but once you get into the movie, it is very exciting to watch. Another great thing about this Anime is that you don't have to know a thing about the video game to appreciate the movie. But if you do play the video game, it is even a bigger treat, to see all those awesome fighting moves come to life in full force. Quite an action spectacle.

The DVD blows the VHS totally out of the water, May 9, 1999
This review is from: Fatal Fury (DVD)
I bought the VHS of this movie a long time ago and loved it. I loved it so much that I watched it about 50 times. I knew everything about the quality of the tape from when the audio screwed up to when certain parts were going to be fuzzy. When I bought the DVD I watched it and nothing, not one speck of fuzz was to be found, the sound totally blew me away too, way better than VHS. There are also a lot of extras on the disk that I liked too. Such things as Theatrical Trailers both in English and Japanese along with drawings, a backstory feature, and a lot of information about Viz including additonal trailers from other Viz Video offerings(a lot of them) made this disk well worth it's money. Words cannot explain the quality of both the video and the audio in this DVD. Amazon.com has the best price I've seen for this DVD anywhere on the internet. Don't miss out on it!

Fatal Fury the Motion Picture, January 17, 2003
This review is from: Fatal Fury (DVD)
This movie was great! I really liked FATAL FURY the MOTION PICTURE and for me personally, it was the end complete to the series (FATAL FURY, Legend of the Hungry Wolf and FATAL FURY 2). This one starts out a bit on the slow side, but once the movie kicks in a little, it's full throttle from there.
It starts out that the whole gang is getting back together to celebrate Joe Higashi's full recovery and return to the Muay Thai ring. Andy and Terry Bogard and Mai Shiranui are all back together again and this time they find out that the legend of a mystical armor (the Armor of Mars) is true and that if all 6 pieces of the armor were to come together, they wearer would be invincible. By accident, they find a young girl named Sulia amd she's being hunted down by some very strange enemies. The gang then finds out that the people chasing her are working for her brother, Laucorn. He needs his sister to help him find the final 3 pieces of the armor and become a God. It's up to Joe, Terry, Andy and Mai to stop him and protect Sulia at all costs.
The animation in this is great, the action is a vast step up from FATAL FURY 2 and the story is also great. And for all you scurvy pervies out there, there is a shower scene with Mai Shiranui. I'd check this one out. Out of the 3 FATAL FURY series videos, this one is my favorite. Check it out, you'll definitely enjoy this one!
