Fatal Fury: The Motion Picture, released in Japan as Garou Densetsu: The Motion Picture, is a Japanese animated feature film based on the popular SNK video game series Fatal Fury originally released in Japan on July 16, 1994.
It is the third and final anime production directed by Masami Obari based on the series, following the two TV specials, Fatal Fury: Legend of the Hungry Wolf and Fatal Fury 2: The New Battle. Unlike the first two titles, Fatal Fury: The Motion Picture does not follow the plot of any particular game, however it does feature several characters from the first two games making extensive cameo appearances. It was released in English dubbed and subtitled formats by VIZ Media.
Initially Ryo Sakazaki was slated to have a role on this movie siding with the goodguys. Other evil characters from Art of Fighting, Mr. Big, Eiji Kisaragi and King (the latter two should take the place of Hauer and Pani) were planned to be included in the motion picture. At last these ideas were axed.
The original Japanese ending theme is "Yoake no Legend" ("Legend of Dawn"), performed by Kazukiyo Nishikiori, the voice of Terry Bogard. For the North American release, the song was given English lyrics and retitled "Oh Angel," performed by Canadian singer Warren Stanyer.
Fatal Fury is based on the the hit video game by the same name. The story centres on 3 fighters, US Streetfighters Terry & Andy Boggart and kickboxer Joe Higashi, They are thrown together to fight Laocorns who uses the Armour of Mars to create god like powers for himself. He is hell bent on world domination and killing our 3 heros! Can they they over come all odds and save the world ? Written by Graham Wilson Jr
