Summary: Buster Wolf!?!
Comment: "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 in a KOF style match-up 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, and 365 days during the year.
This movie was first released in 1994 and followed in the footsteps of the two Fatal Fury OVA's "Mark of the Wolf" and "New Battle." The story chronicles the journey of power hungry entreprenour (who is acting as a pawn) and his quest to obtain the missing armor pieces of an ancient god of war. Opposing this monarch is his twin sister, who seeks the help of the legendary Terry Bogard. What unfolds is a fun, romantic, action, feel good story about the power of love, sacrifice, and believing in one's own ability no matter how tough the odds are.
One of the strong points of the movie is the characterization of Terry, Joe, Mai, and Andy. All four of the main heroes play very well off each other and the character dynamics and dialogue is fantastic. As in all of the Fatal Fury animes, there is always a side story about Andy in relation to his older brother Terry. This one revolves around Andy's relationship with Mai, creating one of the most memorable romance relationships in any video game genre. But once again the greatest hero in any fighting game series, Terry Bogard, takes the center stage and proves why he is simply the man. If you were to introduce anyone to the character of Terry Bogard, you would have a hard time finding someone who dislikes the Lone Wolf. His heart, determination, altruism, and heroics once again serve as the backbone to this franchise.
Despite harsh reviews about the animation in the past, I have to say that the still pictures and the quality of the story driving scenes require a specified taste. The action scene animations are a bit stiff and awkward though. The story is motivating and the soundtrack is tear shedding. Fatal Fury the motion picture, buy it, watch it, and love it. 1990s video game anime does not get any better.

Summary: POWER GEYSER!!!!!!!!!
Comment: 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. He's got a real distinctive style and attitude to his work that stands out of the big-eye-small-mouth crowd.
Movies like Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children have more in common with this, than say, Tenjo Tenge or Naruto. Though, it's probably more comprehensible than the aforementioned Advent Children. Every bit as crazy with the action though. In all honest, the narrative here has a great sense of showmanship and dramatic storytelling. When Terry gets pissed, it's righteous anger that you don't see heroes get pumped with anymore. He fights like a balls-to-the-wall, selfless, heart-of-steel hero. We don't have genuine heroes like Terry in our action movies anymore.
This is pure pulp martial arts mayhem, and along with the first two installments, a wicked finale for the Fatal Fury series, even though it has jack to do with any of the games. Oh, and did I mention the dubbing is some of the best ever? I can't stand dubbs these days, but Fatal Fury has an all star cast with personality and energy.

Summary: Boring!
Comment: 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 acted silly 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!
