Stopped watching after 2 minutes due to the characters having no physical resemblance to the source material. Come on people, at least get...their appearances right??
They are in resemblance of the games, just with slight tweaks. Only differences being Ryo having brown hair and a jacket (which I thinks jacket on top of his gi looks good on him) and Robert just with a different set of clothes.
Why were many video games that were turned into movies in the 90's so bad anyway.? Super Mario Bros, Street Fighter The Movie, Double Dragon, Art of Fighting?! Man they all stink during that time period! The only one I thought was good for its time was Mortal Kombat. That was a good action flick!
because games back then didn't have deep story lore. Story was just a set up to get you to play the game. Not like today where some games story even over shadows gameplay
@Manji Ranger Kiavala What a coincidence, because Kenshin is one of my favorite series ever (not the filler episodes after Shishio's saga) And yes, the new battle OVA is awesome.
maybe this was early ryo with black hair (because most of the games his hair is short). and then later on he must have got a hair cut and hair colour change. or maybe it just like what Ivan Peralta said ' maybe to avoid any similarites'
I wouldn’t really call this “the worst” or even a failure. This is was a pretty close adaptation to the game it was based on, just switch the intentions of the kidnapping from a duel with Mr Karate to finding the Sirius Stone. Plus, the dialogue has that bit of cheese to it that it would either be worthy of a goofy 70’s low budget Kung Fu flick or the original translations of the arcade dialogue. Of course, that don’t mean this is perfect. The new reason for the kidnapping is pretty silly, Ryo having brown hair REALLY doesn’t distinguish him from Ryu now, Todo is not an inspector in the games, and despite my liking for the voice acting, it does have very awkward moments. And of course the animation can change from mediocre to jumbled, especially in the fight scenes. All in all, I say this a pretty fun watch, ironically or not.
Aw come on, why all the hate for this movie? It's a 45 minute OVA based on a fighting game, were you expecting Citizen Kane? It's cheesy but it doesn't take itself seriously. The plot stems from Ryo and Robert chasing a cat for crying out loud, lol
People paid money for this shit. Imagine if you paid $20 for something and all you got was a shitty anime adaptation, with awkward fight scenes, a bad dub and ugly animation
It's cheesy OLD anime, this is the way it was and it's great for it. not everything is going to be fucking evangelion production values like everyone seems to think it has to be to be "good" im glad to see someone else enjoy it for it what it is
02:32 This whole line by Robert sounds exactly like Arin Hanson's (Egoraptor) parody of bad english anime voice acting. Right down to the weird pauses, odd intonation (almost like monotonic yelling) and exposition. Like the one he does in Girl-chan In Paradise and the playthrough of Sakura Spirit on Steam Train. This has to be what he was imitating. It gets funnier the more times you listen to it.
37:04 Come on KING!? No Venom Strike no Double Strike NOT EVEN TORNADO KICK!?!? No signs of Spirit energy anywhere in this movie!!!!???? Art of Failure indeed..........
Ryo, Garcia, Yuri, and King I noticed were in the KOF 99 for Playstation years back. Along with another member Takuma Skakazaki? I think that's why they created this they were star characters. Although KOF Characters pale them in comparison. Also Appeared in KOF Maximum Impact for PS2 Both Ryo and Yuri return,
Just parried a kick. That's how firefighters help civilians. "Ok ma'am! I'm gonna need you to extend your foot for a kick and collide it with my own foot!"
I won't comment about the movie's quality (would be piling on at this point), but I gotta ask this... why not just do a straight adaptation of the game's actual plot? I've NEVER seen this. Fatal Fury throws in a made-up character for a maudlin lost-love subplot, then has Tung Fue Rue die doing a super. Fatal Fury 2 has Wolfgang just give up and commit suicide. Samurai Shodown has mind melding and nonsensical teamups. Street Fighter Alpha has a small army of flippin' cyborgs and turns Rose into a taunting, laughing spectre. Don't even get me started on any of the cartoon series. I mean, if you can't be good, or memorable, or groundbreaking, can you at least shoot for _familiarity?_
I thought the other SFA movie was the bad one. All of the movies you listed were pretty decent, IMO, although I haven't watched this movie or the Samurai Showdown one yet, but I don't know much about the lore of that one anyway.
If you actually copied the game scene-by-scene for that, any movie or TV series would be more successful than the game... CAPCOM tried to avoid that with Resident Evil, and it shows... Detective Pikachu did copied the game, and people knew the plot and spoiled it.
Ryo and Robert is have good plan to save Yuri, but mister fancy pants Totoh is must ruined them plan to save her on Mr.Big, Totoh is just anoing character on Art of Fighting anime.
There are animation errors in earlier animes of snk. Just like what happend to Seto kaiba, from YUGIOH, his hair is used to be Green.... Sorry, i changed the topic XD
That kick at 3:08 though the neo geo fighters was def street fighter rip offs but I appreciate the snk universe. The story and characters was alot more detailed plus the Fatal Fury series is the shit.
This is an example of how a video game is reduced to a cheaply produced anime, just for the sake of a commercial tie-in. For all we know, the only decent anime based on a video game series happens to be Pokemon.
Apparently, SNK Wikia stated that the fight scenes were from "a skewed perspective that shares several similarities to the anime series, Shadow Hunter."
I might be wrong but, snk movies always have animation error. just like andy from "Fatal Fury 1 - Legend of The Hungry Wolf" movie, his hair is blue, and ryo's hair in this movie is different.
Actually Dan was a joke character made to poke fun at SNK at the time. So Dan's outfit is Ryo's, his look is Robert's, and his moves came from the both of them.
Very old comment, I know. Just here to clear up that she started off workin' for Mr. Big in Art of Fighting 1 in the hopes that she could earn money for her little brother's medical bills. So she does indeed start as a villain, and she used to hide her gender due to South Town not exactly being the most forgiving place. Her gender is revealed after Ryo beats her, and she has a change of heart when he and Robert helped her with her little brother.
Well,this one isn't bad to me imo. This one felt it was going for a Jackie Chan movie. I mean the characters remind me of his characters from Wheels on Meals and Dragons Forever to mention one. At least it has quite of a Police Story and it melds pretty well,taking liberties from the game it was based off. I'd rather have a good story based off of a fighting game than a complicated one.
I know this is really old and the movie was trying to do it's own thing, but damn Ryo looks odd. His hair isn't even blonde! And that jacket... also, *innocent just dies in front of them; Ryo and Robert smile and exit* such heroes
When I was kid I knew there was a movie of art of fighting, street fighter, kof, fatal fury but was imposible watching there wasn't internet other times. I'm happy because I watched I was a little kid but I liked the game.
I was mad abput this games and anime. And yes i try every VHS cassate library and still never found. There were no internet.. i know SNK anime movie series was shown on AXN at midnight and every time i failed to watched as i fallen asleep..
Just like what Hollywood is doing with all the Comic book Heroes now. Back in the 90's there was a stretch of Video game Hero movies being made. Just like this one.
looks like they messed up their scripted too in this part Ryo says Yuri is 19 @2:49 but @10:03 the computer says she's 17, and Ryo is 19... good job who ever inspected that script lol
You're right GRH235, this anime is one of the worst ever, FF was much better. 20 years ago i had high hope on this one cause i really luv the game..but after watching it, i was very2 disappointed. From the plot and quality of the graphic i believe they did the anime for kids specially under 10 year old, easy drawing and they didnt created the moves that exist based on the game..most of them are simple punches and kicks, and these moves are easier for kids to understand. Too bad SNK & Neo Geo no longer exist, i still wanna see movie like King of Fighters Another Day, i luv those flix eventho only 5 minutes long on each "series".They did an amazing job on Another day flix,..ah..i wish they could continue them.
I thought this was ok in general. Ryo should have orange hair though, surely. But look at how the cat walks in the final few frames. The cat's feet aren't moving properly. Lol, double jointed cat
"If I win, I get your telephone number." - Robert Garcia
LOL
"What's wrong Ryo? Not too busy with the karate... DOJO!?
*long pause*
AHAHAHAHAHA, DOJO, HAHAHA!"
10/10 best line read in any anime
I Never got this "joke"
Thanks for the time stamp
I didn't even know this movie existed. It's true, ignorance is bliss.
Stopped watching after 2 minutes due to the characters having no physical resemblance to the source material. Come on people, at least get...their appearances right??
oh lord
I found that they were based on Live-Action commercial models of the game...
They are in resemblance of the games, just with slight tweaks. Only differences being Ryo having brown hair and a jacket (which I thinks jacket on top of his gi looks good on him) and Robert just with a different set of clothes.
Fatal Fury anime had Andy Board in silver hair. They didn't want to mistake him for Geese Howard.
Why were many video games that were turned into movies in the 90's so bad anyway.? Super Mario Bros, Street Fighter The Movie, Double Dragon, Art of Fighting?!
Man they all stink during that time period!
The only one I thought was good for its time was Mortal Kombat. That was a good action flick!
don't forget that Sonic movie with metal sonic as that one was pretty great for a animated late 90's movie of the time
So true. You can disregard that from the horrid list!
because games back then didn't have deep story lore. Story was just a set up to get you to play the game. Not like today where some games story even over shadows gameplay
These '90s SNK animes were hit and miss.
Art of Fighting- bad
Fatal Fury LOTHW- Meh
Fatal Fury The New Battle- Pretty Good
Fatal Fury The Motion Picture- Bad
Yea, your right
@@actually_ashley. yes, for me Fatal Fury The New Battle is a classic. Very underrated OVA
@Manji Ranger Kiavala What a coincidence, because Kenshin is one of my favorite series ever (not the filler episodes after Shishio's saga)
And yes, the new battle OVA is awesome.
I hear that. Ever see Samurai Shodown?
WTF? Robert and Ryo swapped hair colors
I know right that pissed me off
There hair colors aren't the same as the game
I think ryo hair color was changed to avoid any similarities to ken from street fighter
maybe this was early ryo with black hair (because most of the games his hair is short). and then later on he must have got a hair cut and hair colour change. or maybe it just like what Ivan Peralta said ' maybe to avoid any similarites'
They were based on the actors from the live-action commercials of the game...
For all its faults, sure is entertaining.

Thanks for the upload. But damn...I bet I spent more money in the arcades playing this game than it took to finance this whole movie. Hahaha!
Well, the show was by Fuji TV of Dragon Ball Z fame, and considering the network was kid-friendly...ouch...
35:45 When you miss your entire supercombo.
lol
So faithful to the games
Wow! Nice one lol!

Lol that ruined the movie for me, I chose not to watch it.
@@8Pabs8 They were based on the actors from the live-action commercials of the game...
I'm probably the only one who is able to admit they actually like this movie.
It's cheesy OLD anime, this is the way it was and it's great for it. not everything is going to be fucking evangelion production values like everyone seems to think it has to be to be "good"
im glad to see someone else enjoy it for it what it is
whitetrashshayno"Neon Genesis Evangelion" had some of the worst budget management in anime though.
This was Good for a Comedy, If you want apre Serious SNK Animated Film that's Fatal Fury and it's just around your Corner.
+Masato Indou or the King of Fighters Another story OVA ones
I like this movie. It's a lot of fun.
This is unironically the best movie to ever bless this world...... 10/10
Facts
ราคากดะััึ
Why is King a villain in this? Isn't she supposed to be one of the people you fight then she's a good guy in later stuff like KOF?
I know this is like a 5 years old comment but let's not forget that she doesn't reveal she's a woman until Ryo defeated her.
Actually, she was really doing Big's bidding just so she can afford some hospital bills for her little brother
02:32 This whole line by Robert sounds exactly like Arin Hanson's (Egoraptor) parody of bad english anime voice acting. Right down to the weird pauses, odd intonation (almost like monotonic yelling) and exposition. Like the one he does in Girl-chan In Paradise and the playthrough of Sakura Spirit on Steam Train. This has to be what he was imitating. It gets funnier the more times you listen to it.
They need to give this a much needed remake. This did the AOF franchise no justice whatsoever.
I MUST CONFESS I ONLY CAME HERE TO SEE THE BEAUTIFUL KING I JUST LIKE HER SO MUCH BEST KICKS EVER U GOTTA LOVE KING YAY LONG LIVE THE KING :D
She does kick ass doesn't she?
yup she does
I can only imagine what else you love about her.
wonderful legs feet and eyes
Pierpaolo Condorelli Well she does have fantastic legs I will give you that.
37:04 Come on KING!? No Venom Strike no Double Strike NOT EVEN TORNADO KICK!?!? No signs of Spirit energy anywhere in this movie!!!!???? Art of Failure indeed..........
same here, I claim foul big time, king deserves better
The problem was, that her Spirit bar was Empty :D
6:01 "Aaaah!"
Such a dissapointment as the movie itself hardly has anything to do with the videogame. But many thanks for uploading.
Guys would you all calm down. this shit is fucking Gold.
As long as you dont take this movie seriously its watchable.
Wasn't worst. Was very good. I was enjoying watching this.
Ryo and Robert are apart of king of fighters now.
I'm glad Capcom created Dan after seeing Ryo
Ryo, Garcia, Yuri, and King I noticed were in the KOF 99 for Playstation years back. Along with another member Takuma Skakazaki? I think that's why they created this they were star characters. Although KOF Characters pale them in comparison. Also Appeared in KOF Maximum Impact for PS2 Both Ryo and Yuri return,
It's Sakazaki not Skakazaki
this movie needs a reboot badly, total disgrace of anime. art of failure is right
The art of fighting Abridged movie
made by Team four ⭐
What..... the fuck.... did robert just do to save ryo from falling?
Just parried a kick. That's how firefighters help civilians. "Ok ma'am! I'm gonna need you to extend your foot for a kick and collide it with my own foot!"

Detective Pikachu did copied the game, and people knew the plot and spoiled it.
Am i the only one who is highly disturbed due to the hair colour swap between robert and ryo
Note- i am only here to watch king😂😂😂
They were based on the actors from the live-action commercials of the game...
Damn! This movie has so many homosexual hints in it; it's hard to believe nobody noticed that !
Man, its been 8 years since I uploaded this? Good old art of failure lol
I loved how little attention to story there was, and that the characters had so many chances to fight. They knew that's all we really wanted to see
Ryo and Robert is have good plan to save Yuri, but mister fancy pants Totoh is must ruined them plan to save her on Mr.Big, Totoh is just anoing character on Art of Fighting anime.
There are animation errors in earlier animes of snk. Just like what happend to Seto kaiba, from YUGIOH, his hair is used to be Green.... Sorry, i changed the topic XD
I love this, watching it drunk off my rocker and it's like.... 80s gold. it's stupid but I love it all the same. from a bygone era
That kick at 3:08 though
the neo geo fighters was def street fighter rip offs but I appreciate the snk universe. The story and characters was alot more detailed plus the Fatal Fury series is the shit.
Next time I see one of those "80s-90s we're the golden age of anime" comments I'll post them a link to this little gem.
thanks for the upload, I still like fatal fury's movies more though.
This is an example of how a video game is reduced to a cheaply produced anime, just for the sake of a commercial tie-in. For all we know, the only decent anime based on a video game series happens to be Pokemon.
yeah yeah
Who the heck animated the fight scenes!? They are god awful. Looks like they're swatting at flies.
Apparently, SNK Wikia stated that the fight scenes were from "a skewed perspective that shares several similarities to the anime series, Shadow Hunter."
i think he died his hair blonde actually
Hell on earth she fight like that in those heels. And also who is watching this in 2020? Every-one.
Late 70's vibe anyone?
Considering Art of Fighting is set then and the early 80's in the Fatal Fury universe, it makes sense
Thank You for sharing this anime..i can watch it for the 2nd time after almost 20 years.
King is very hot.
What else is new?
always did amazing palying as her in AOF 2 and all the kofs, love her yell of VEMON STRIKKKEEEE
I'm here for her :D
Yea she is
I might be wrong but, snk movies always have animation error. just like andy from "Fatal Fury 1 - Legend of The Hungry Wolf" movie, his hair is blue, and ryo's hair in this movie is different.
Robert looks just like Dan Hibiki in this movie. Kinda acts like him to in some scenes. Especially the part with the bomb.
Actually Dan was a joke character made to poke fun at SNK at the time. So Dan's outfit is Ryo's, his look is Robert's, and his moves came from the both of them.
I knew that, but in the actually Art of Fighting game Robert comes off swave and cool. In this movie though he's more silly like Dan.
How did I even get here
Magic.
I don't remember King being a bad guy (or rather, girl) in the games.
Very old comment, I know. Just here to clear up that she started off workin' for Mr. Big in Art of Fighting 1 in the hopes that she could earn money for her little brother's medical bills. So she does indeed start as a villain, and she used to hide her gender due to South Town not exactly being the most forgiving place. Her gender is revealed after Ryo beats her, and she has a change of heart when he and Robert helped her with her little brother.
The voice acting for ryo is just...
Non-existent
the dialogue and voice acting OMG HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Well,this one isn't bad to me imo. This one felt it was going for a Jackie Chan movie. I mean the characters remind me of his characters from Wheels on Meals and Dragons Forever to mention one. At least it has quite of a Police Story and it melds pretty well,taking liberties from the game it was based off. I'd rather have a good story based off of a fighting game than a complicated one.
Now I know why they do not use special moves. Their spirit bars were empty. Guess too many taunting from each other lol
It ain't that worse. It's for OVA purposes only. The only official SNK movies are Samurai Shodown and Fatal Fury.
Man I tought there could not be something worst than the Double Dragon live action movie.
Me to robert: back away from yuri you preak
I know this is really old and the movie was trying to do it's own thing, but damn Ryo looks odd. His hair isn't even blonde! And that jacket...
also, *innocent just dies in front of them; Ryo and Robert smile and exit* such heroes
The heck? Ryo said Yuri is 19 but in her bio when king was searching it said she’s 17
They didn't use they're powers in any of the fight sceens.
That's good. Magic powers work fine in say, Mortal Kombat, but they wouldn't fit here and would feel out of place
When I was kid I knew there was a movie of art of fighting, street fighter, kof, fatal fury but was imposible watching there wasn't internet other times. I'm happy because I watched I was a little kid but I liked the game.
I was mad abput this games and anime. And yes i try every VHS cassate library and still never found. There were no internet.. i know SNK anime movie series was shown on AXN at midnight and every time i failed to watched as i fallen asleep..
This version of Robert especially reminds me of Dan tbh
2:56
virtua fighter sound effect
Should've been a standard anime TV series(Like Street Fighter II V) instead of a movie. If they weren't going follow the plot of the games.
2:46--Ryo says Yuri is 19; 10:02--the screen says Yuri is 17...and that Robert is 21!
Is only 19*
Ryo's special ability: *CARATE* ... with a C... it's like Karate, but with CARS
Both Ryo and Robert should be 21 and Yuri should be 17 as she is 4 years younger than both of them
That song that plays at 12:45 just needs to be used in a game
Hmmn King shouldn't had stayed bad. I expected her to turn at some point!
Just like what Hollywood is doing with all the Comic book Heroes now. Back in the 90's there was a stretch of Video game Hero movies being made. Just like this one.
looks like they messed up their scripted too in this part Ryo says Yuri is 19 @2:49 but @10:03 the computer says she's 17, and Ryo is 19... good job who ever inspected that script lol
So he born with Brown hair and then when he grow up he change the color i guess.
Well..atleast they kinda got Mr. Bigs character right ...
Here, Ryo is not blonde.
isn't ryo supposed to have lighter hair?
how bout a remake and throw some more snk characters
I can see why this is a god-awful movie but somehow, I love it. I blame DevilArtemis
Omg wth did I just watch!😰🤭🤣🤣🤣 I think a 5yr old was behind this🤣🤣
What is going on with the guy at 9:28
Didn’t know this existed just watched the Fatal fury today haven’t seen it since I was 12
41:44 Woah, Twin Towers! That means, South Town is - NEW YORK CITY!
They should have followed up with this series
¿EN ESTA PELÍCULA SALEN TAKUMA Y YURI?
Seeing Ryo with brown hair is making me do a double take
I'm not used to seeing Ryo with brown hair
The Art of Fighting Video Games were fun to play. But in this movie they don´t use any special moves... pretty dumb!
These characters deserved better.
While not the worst ever, is still pretty bad.
But I find it enjoyable at least, as a relic from the 90's.
34:22 Whoops! Looks like the stone is going down the drain!
The helicopter just like in the Dragon Ball Z . Weird .
38:34 Hey, laughing boy! I've got a bone to pick with you!
Yuri's voice actress is the same woman who did the voice of Ash from Pokemon.
Raymond Bermea And May from Pokemon too
Why is Ryo's hair black?
Why was Abby's hair black in the Swamp Thing live-action series?
Or his hair got it from his father, because i don´t think blond got it from his mother :/
You're right GRH235, this anime is one of the worst ever, FF was much better.
20 years ago i had high hope on this one cause i really luv the game..but after watching it, i was very2 disappointed.
From the plot and quality of the graphic i believe they did the anime for kids specially under 10 year old, easy drawing and they didnt created the moves that exist based on the game..most of them are simple punches and kicks, and these moves are easier for kids to understand.
Too bad SNK & Neo Geo no longer exist, i still wanna see movie like King of Fighters Another Day, i luv those flix eventho only 5 minutes long on each "series".They did an amazing job on Another day flix,..ah..i wish they could continue them.
I never knew there was an anime on this game
I thought this was ok in general. Ryo should have orange hair though, surely. But look at how the cat walks in the final few frames. The cat's feet aren't moving properly. Lol, double jointed cat
XD ,the original Virtua Fighter
