Thank god, I’ve a cause to put in writing about Road Fighter that isn’t that rattling incest plotline fiasco in Road Fighter 6. A brand new trailer for the upcoming live-action Road Fighter film is out in the present day, and it focuses fairly closely on poster boys Ryu and Ken, who’re each going by way of a tough patch with one another and of their careers as fighters.
The film is popping out on October 16, and the trailer exhibits a good bit of the movie’s battle sequences which, no matter what else occurs within the film, appear fairly dope. Preventing recreation storylines are often fairly minimal and foolish, and we’ll see how the film handles the precise narrative and dialogue when it comes out later this yr, however what it does appear to nail already is cool fights, and that alone could be well worth the value of admission. There are additionally some clear crowd-pleasing moments sprinkled all through, resembling Ken beating up a automotive like within the Road Fighter II bonus levels, Cammy making a reference to Chun-Li’s thunder thighs, and naturally Ryu powering up a Hadoken fireball.
Narratively, Ken and Ryu appear to be the main target. The previous has develop into, as Chun-Li places it, a “sideshow,” or a washed-up has been. Ryu, in the meantime, has gone off the grid and been a drifter, till Chun-Li finds him and drags him right into a event the place the 2 rivals will lastly face one another once more. Clearly there’s a grand conspiracy surrounding the event, as M. Bison is right here, which suggests the Shadaloo group might be concerned in some way. However the trailer doesn’t get too into these particulars. The entire thing is giving ‘90s camp. Watch the total trailer under:
Road Fighter’s solid is fairly stacked, not simply with Noah Centineo and Andrew Koji main the movie as Ken and Ryu, however with some impressed pulls within the supporting solid as nicely, resembling Jason Momoa as Blanka. We’ll see if this merry band of misfits coalesces right into a half-decent movie or simply turns into an enormous montage of references like the Mario films in October.
