Fatal Fury: The Motion Picture (1994) is a movie I recently watched on Tubi. The storyline follows a group of friends who live and train together who encounter a ruthless killer looking to acquire an invincible armor. They partner with the killer's sister to hunt him down and try to stop him from acquiring the armor.
This movie is directed by Masami Ôbari (Gundam Build Fighters: Battlogue) and contains the voices of Mark Hildreth (The Tudors), Lisa Ann Beley (Dragon Ball Z), Jason Gray-Stanford (Monk), Matt Hill (Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles III) and John Payne (Silent Mobious).
The animation in this didn't age well but did align closely with the video game cut scenes. The fight scenes did a good job of using the split screen features when introducing the characters that also aligned to the game. They also gave the characters the mannerisms from their post fight victory scenes from the arcade game. The fight scenes and characters were fun as was the premise. The ending song was a bit funny as they segwayed to the credits.
Overall this is a must see for fans of the video game but far from a classic anime picture. I would score this a 5/10 and recommend seeing it once for fans of the game.
