Sam is a stunt double as well, you would have seen in Pirates of the Caribbean 3, Dexter, Transformers, Numb3ers, Moonlight, (if any of you ever watched it...only lasted a season) Scrubs, Heroes, Street Fighter: Legend of Chun Li, and Dollhouse.


I'm looking forward to this but I have low expectations very rarely does a Video Game movie live up to what the games were especially one based on a fighting game I really don't want to see another Street Fighter, I would like to see something as monumental as MK 1..... any thoughts on this?



*Edit* found the synopsis for the movie: found this on Wikipedia.

"The King of Fighters movie will introduce a new science fiction spin into the setting established in the games’ universe by following the surviving members of three legendary fighting clans who are continually whisked away to other dimensions by an evil power," says insider blog Movieset.

"As the fighters enter each new world they battle that universe’s native defenders, while the force that brought them seeks to find a way to invade and infect our world."
