i would like to start off by say that i be not an anime fan ( with a few notable exception ) and and i generally have a low opinion of so call otakus and a they be so in love with their particular brand of cartoon that they label every movie star spiky haired and big eyed character a a work of art without even consider other more vital factor and such a the plot . and no anime movie well represent this division between otakus and people with actual taste than this elegant piece of trash and fatal fury represent the motion picture . a see through the glassy and witless eye of an otaku and there little to find fault with in fatal fury there plenty of quirky japanese y humor and one on one duel and some dramatic moment and and everything be beautifully draw . but everyone else will be turn off by the cliched and predictable plot with cliched and predictable character and culminate in a cliched and predictable end . the love scene be hilariously overblown the scene in which sulia heals terry be obviously intend to be a tender moment and but it virtually impossible to not be throw into spiral of giddy laughter by the sheer ludicrousness of it . and of course and fatal fury be not without the obligatory cartoon t and a this be supply gratuitously by the huge breast mai shiranui . and since fatal fury be base off the video game series of the same name ( oh boy ) and be treat to numerous pointless cameo appearance by popular character with little or no relevance to the plot whatsoever ( they go through all the trouble of introduce kim early on and only for him to disappear from the movie totally after that point ) . this mess of a movie reach it climax with the unintentionally farcical final battle and in which all the main character engage the all powerful main villain in one on one combat in turn . that some thing that always amuse me . even when battle in animes arent take place in a tournament and they always happen a if they be and regardless of the fact that it make no sense whatsoever . otakus always rave about how anime movie should be treat as movie a oppose to merely cartoon and and a disturbing portion of those same people love fatal fury . so would fatal fury have be good if it wasn not an anime . the answer be an emphatic no all of this movie charm and what little of it there be and resides in the actual drawing . have fatal fury not be an anime and it would have be worthy of an episode of mystery science theater 3000 and if the show be still on the air . that the key this be nothing more than a laughably bad b movie in the guise of an anime epic . if youre a fan of movie so bad that theyre actually entertaining and consider rent fatal fury ( or catch it on the sci fi channel ) and a it be definitely one of those . if youre an otaku and please wake up and realize that a good 90 % of the stuff youre watching be garbage . a for everyone else and buy a dreamcast and fatal fury represent mark of the wolf and but do not even consider see this movie .
