The movie adaptation of the best selling video game series Dead or Alive. Ha, yes this is that game with the girls with enormous boobs! It'll be really interesting how they make this movie, it was an entertaining game! It'll be out for 2006 and will be directed by Corey Yuen. For those who are a fan of the game and know the characters these will be the actresses playing them:
Devon Aoki .... Kasumi, Derek Boyer .... Bayman, Sarah Carter .... Helena Douglas, Collin Chou .... Hayate, Steve Howey .... Weatherby, Kane Kosugi .... Ryu Hayabusa, Natassia Malthe .... Ayane, Matthew Marsden .... Maximillian Marsh, Chad McCord .... Chief Detective, Kevin Nash .... Bass, Jaime Pressly .... Tina Armstrong, Eric Roberts .... Donovan, Robin Shou .... Pirate Leader, Silvio Simac .... Leon, Holly Valance .... Christie Allen!!

Are these the real actors tag to the film or just your assumption of who could play them?  I don't play videogames on the average. I haven't picked up one since well... hold on I played some game with my nephew the otherday it had some guy roaming around with a little squirl and he was stealing cars and shooting things.

Other than that and me having to sit thru hours on end of a buddy of mine playing Eversquest something or other on the PC I have no game time... I don't see the point really.

Anyways I do remember this game from like my Saturn days or maybe Dreamcast days... I forget. I don't see Kevin Nash playing Bass, he looked more like Hogan if I recall.

I'm sure they'll get a young trendy hollywood cast to play all the characters, though. I mean hell, it don't matter if half of them were japanese or not. Put some eyeliner at the corners of Tara Reids, washed out fuckin' eyes and they'll make her one of the cast. Same goes for all of them other goblin ass trollops of hollywood.

Anyways, this'll suck. It'll be just like all the other videogame to movie adaptations... which translates to having nothing at all to do with the fiber and dna of the games.

No this is the actual cast listing. Actually, I've never played the game either lol but I've heard a lot about it and seen a trailer for the game on tv.

I've got DOA 2 on my trusty ol' Sega Dreamcast.  Very fun game.  The movie should be good.

Mortal Kombat should have been good to but look at what we got here... DOA is Mortal Kombat with different characters and less blood, basically a pg-13 version. Sure it has boobs that bounce in real time (Cartoon ones, if that get's you going than I know what you're looking at while not here   )

I've become numb to the Hollywood market and even this market of "scripts" because you talk about them not being original but just look into this site and the same pattern they do is happening here.

I honestly don't see the point in adapting this, it's a fighting game, it has no real plot to use.

Quoted from Old Time Wesley I honestly don't see the point in adapting this, it's a fighting game, it has no real plot to use.

Are you KIDDING?  The core of any successful film plot is motivation to attack, and motivation to love.  The STREET FIGHTER movie starring Van Damme, and the MORTAL KOMBAT movies, were fun shows to eat popcorn to, and DOA will also be a fun popcorn flick.

I'm all for fun popcorn movies like the first "Mortal Kombat" or something like "Van Helsing."  But "Street Fighter" and "Mortal Kombat: Annihilation" are just so damn awful, that all the popcorn in the world couldn't save them.  But, I do reccomend finding some drinking games to play for either of the above or, better yet, the one I found that was invented for "Alone in the Dark."

As for "Dead Or Alive," who knows, maybe it will be decent in the way that the first "Mortal Kombat" movie was.  Like Alan, my only experiece with the game was on my Dreamcast, and while I enjoyed it, I was not a die hard fan.

And, oh yes, it should be noted that so far, I have to agree with Wesley.  It is hard to get a plotline made for a fighting game.  The "Mortal Kombat" film is probably the only half-decent one, and its story is just a rip-off of "Enter the Dragon."

I don't want to see big chested women in another film and they be the selling point, it's amateur porn if that's all you want look online because who wants more big budget disasters with girls who'll get naked for 5 bucks?

Street Fighter although I'm Die Hard for Van Damme is not a good film dialogue wise or really plot wise... Hell it's fun but it's a terrible film that could have been better with such simple corrections.

Mortal Kombat 1 was good, I enjoy it but the second one has some of the worst dialogue I've ever had the sit through... It's even got some lame played out fights that are about as exciting as reading through rants of people talking about themselves and how great they are.

SF and MK:A are beautiful movies.  Plot and dialogue weren't the point.  The point was the look and feel, and taste, of the corn, and it looked energetic, felt fight-tastic, and tasted nice and buttery.  They didn't want to write something that'd be remembered as a classic; they wanted to write something that would be forgotten until ten years later, when a young boy who likes the newest video game incarnations of the MK and SF games, browses a rental store, and randomly finds the buried treasures which are the SF movie and MK:A.  The kid eagerly rents them, brings them home, and watches them with the same wide-eyed glee he'd have during a great saturday morning cartoon.  Then he'd run to his console and play his MK and SF games with new info in his mind about the characters.  And he'll have a damn good time of it.  That's the point, and it's among the most noblest points of all.  God bless the makers of SF and MK:A -- I salute you!

I think it'll be great.

If nothing else, Cory Yuen makes a hell of a fight scene, so it should be fun.

I'd never have thought this topic would get more than 2 post... Mine and the guys response to what I said... Boy was I wrong. I think this... even this... might say something for how well this terrible idea will do as a movie.

I'm beside myself on this one. I can't believe people are saying Street Fighter and Mortal Kombat are good movies. I can't believe someone actually wants to see a DOA movie... it boggles my mind.  

Wes is 100% right... there is no story to these games. It's a fighting game with flashy, catchy characters. I don't see a movie spawning from all this crap that we see nowadays. I just don't. The age ol' saying "They'll make a movie about anything" has become more profound than true... it's become a painstaking reality.

One I'm getting pretty sick of seeing.

I for one did not say they were good movies but since I enjoyed them they were "good" enough, I also enjoyed Gigli so you know how much that says about these 2 films. In fact I enjoyed Gigli a little bit more than I should have but I enjoy Ben Affleck.

If the games had a story it would be punch, kick, combo, combo damnit combo... That's about it. BUTTON MASHING.

I always reserve judgement but this time I'm just going to skip the movie altogether and pretend it doesn't exist, until than I'll do my best to kill this thread so I never have to see it again.

I'll have to wait for the trailer to see how they do it, but from what I've heard it sounds like a fun friday night flick!

When I play fighting games, I always imagine a story as I progress throughout the tournament.  DOA 2 is among the best in that regard, especially because of the beautiful characters, and the awesome fighting areas.

In my opinion, this looks like the greatest film ever made.
