Is this faithful to the source material? If not, does the film re-imagine the fiction in an interesting way? Are the fight scenes solid? Is it watchable by a normal human - the kind of person that would let a thought like “I should pitch a fighting game movie ranking” dissipate in the void of their brain? When evaluating these films, I examined several criteria. Samurai Shodown fails in every last one of these respects. Shodown opens with the end of all things, as the “holy warriors” fall to a traitor in their ranks. At the last moment, their souls are whisked away into the ether and sent forward in time to be reborn 100 years later, with the intent to overthrow the evil Ambrosia and the traitor Amakusa. The padding that follows is a long stretch of Haohmaru, a stoic samurai in the games, acting like a fool in a remote village with no recollection of his past. His days are apparently filled with destroying the ecosystem (he crushes a hive of bees and murders a bear for absolutely no reason), until Amakusa’s army attacks his village and slaughters everyone. That includes Haohmaru’s “mother,” who reveals that she found him as an infant in the mountains. The holy warriors then arrive and try to convince Haohmaru of his destiny. The samurai joins, but only because he wants revenge, and so the group runs off to Amakusa’s castle. Samurai Shodown is filled with laughably bad voice acting (especially for Galford D. Weller) and a wholly color-by-numbers plot that moves at a snail’s pace, despite only lasting a little over an hour. Fights are stop-motion frames cast over seizure-inducing light shows. By the end of the film, any viewer will gain little and retain absolutely nothing. I honestly question whether anyone could view this and decide they wanted to give the video game, an excellent fighting game in its own right, a shot.

The King of Fighters opens with an interesting premise. Longtime protagonist Mai Shiranui (Maggie Q) enters a seemingly virtual world to compete in the King of Fighters tournament (via a proto-AirPod looking thing). She soon learns, after a mishap at a museum opening, that this virtual world is an alternate dimension containing the mystical evil Orochi. This grants ultimate but corrupting power, and a fighter named Rugal is hell-bent on mastering it. Recruiting her love interest Iori (Will Yun Lee) and despondent clan descendant Kyo (Sean Faris), they venture to stop Rugal from unleashing the power of Orochi.
