obviously I voted no, but what were you thinking with that cast?
Morigan: Someone who can act and isn't overrated would be better then Jolie, actually a 2 leged dog would make a better Morigan then Jolie, Hell a two legged dog would make every Jolie movie better if put in her role
Lei-Lei: For the record, Lucy Liu sucks. Someone who can fight and is cool, not stupid would be better as Lei-Lei; someone like Michelle Yeoh.
Felicia: Oh yeah, let Jeniffer Lopez play her, last time she played a singer she thought she WAS that person and decided she could sing in real life, do we really need her thinking it's okay for her to wear cat ears and sing J-Pop?
Talbain: For someone so obessed with Britian I'm impressed you did even know one British actor. How about Jude Law? He was almost picked to play young Hannibal Lektor AND is rumored to be playing Dr.Jekel/Mr.Hyde in an upcoming movie, he would work as the werewolf type, no?
Viktor: If you want Hollywood politics to make him the main character or make him into Mr.Freeze again, sure! Let Arnold play him.

Oh. I see. 
Well,anyway,I'm just going there for vacation. I've always wanted to go,and now(THANK GOD!  ) I'm finally going July 5th!!
My next overseas vacation will be Amsterdam or Paris.
And,not all my favorite characters are British. I would list some,but that'd take too long. Maki,Yun,Kyosuke,Athena,Xiang-Fei,Krauser,Rouge(Power Stone)and Demitri are just some of my faves that ain't British.
BTW,Dr B. No problem. I usually don't take stuff seriously anyway. Only if I can't tell someone means it.

Whoa -- I answered yes to the poll, and then I realized that we were actually talking about a live-action film. (Oi!)
Yeah, I'd prefer another animated feature. Either way, though, for any new feature (whether one entity or several episodes, camera'd or animated), I'd like it if characters who have some important role in the film are given bigger exposure and storyline (man, Jon Talbain's storyline could've really been developed in the OVAs!) -- and if they used music more along the lines of what was used in Giant Robo, like what the trailers and commercials for the Vampire Hunter OVAs used.
Man -- truth be told, a lot of what sold me on the Night Warriors / Vampire Hunter OVAs was the music that could be found on the 30-second commercial. I actually thought those compositions were what were going to be used in the actual episodes, not knowing about Giant Robo at all. So, I was really quite disappointed when I popped in the first DVD and heard guitars, sax, and keyboard instead...  Even after seeing the four episodes over and over, I still feel that dramatic classical music would've fit the series much better.

Welcome OmegaDog!
Anyway,you a Jon Talbain fan,too? I agree,his story could've been expanded in the anime. I have 4 volumes,and I thought they were cool,but kind of boring at the same time.

I think a live action DS movie could be done, and even done well, but don't know if it'd attract a lot of attention. Of course, if they actually made a good one, and Capcom released a new DS game a few months prior to generate hype, it may could actually get a lot of viewers, but otherwise, people prob. wouldn't care much about it, except the fans....my goal is to make a good Garou Densetsu/Fatal Fury movie when I've made it in the movie industry (I hope I will anyway), but I wouldn't call it Fatal Fury, I'd call it Legend of the Hungry Wolf and would downplay the fact i was based on a videogame so maybe it'd generate more interest, of course storywise, I'd keep it as completely true as possible......Terry wouldn't have dying love interests and such....I would introduce Mai and Mary in the first one, but they wouldn't be in it very much and wouldn't be involved in the tournament, and Mai would be in Japan. You'd see her pissed when Andy leaves for Southtown without telling her. Then I'd have her participate in the sequel (if the first one did good) and Mary would join in the fight in the third one. Kim would also appear in the firt one briefly, and so AoF characters would make cameos...but I'm too big a dreamer, I don't think I could ever get it done, cause I think it's gonna be hard for me to succeed in getting into film and television. Oh well, I have time.

Yup, I'm a pretty big Jon Talbain fan! Ho man -- don't ask me how many hours I've clocked playing as him... I'd say he's my favorite lycanthrope in a video game, but Kamio+ from SNK's Cool Cool Toon is fiercely competing for the spot. (That's another SNK vs. Capcom rivalry for me. ;)) (It seemed no one else had a even a Cool Cool Toon avatar, so well -- I went ahead and fixed one up.)
JT will also be a future cosplay project (both werewolf and human form), but I'm working on other sets of costumes first, as I'd like more costume-building experience. Essentially, I'm aiming for publisher-themed or developer-themed cosplay for each year that I can make an anime or scifi/fantasy con -- one regular clothing-type costume, and one big, more elaborate costume. (Hoping I might be able to win at some costume contests -- wish me luck! )
Anyway -- yeah, from what I had heard of several reviews, I would've thought that I really would've liked the Night Warriors OAVs. Maybe it was just the high hopes that I had for it -- what with the great music in the trailers (that actually came from Giant Robo) and the idea that characters would've been more carefully introduced. I was kinda let down by it in general, though -- I actually thought the first episode was rather silly and hence didn't start enjoying it until Donovan's scene started. For me, it picked up and I did eventually get to like it -- but I figure it could've been a whole lot better. Ho well -- what do I know about creating a good movie?

Good luck on the cosplay thing. I've never really seen anyone cosplay as Jon. I would definitley! But I don't have time.
Here's my site:
Talbain and Cammy 4ever!
Just my small site to my two favorite characters!
Glad to see another fan.

I never seen the US cartoon? But I've seen pics,and GEEEEEEEEZ,the art is AWWWWWWWWWWFUL! Looks real sucky,too.
And for those who haven't seen any pics -- click here, and weep.
And, it seems that through Google, I actually came across a 3 MB video clip (I think it's DivX -- either way, I can't watch it on the computer I'm on). So, uh... here's a couple more pics plus the animation quality.
Man, and I had actually once come across a fan site of the American Darkstalkers series (oi...). I couldn't find it again through google -- but it had a couple more pics to show just how bad the quality of the stills were.
... so okay -- when I said animated, I meant Animated and created by another Japanese animation studio.

Yeah! The SF and Vampire cartoons in the States were crap.
Rockman on the other hand was actually okay. Every voice did fit like a glove, although I did wonder why did Rockman have Goku's dubbed voice. The first one, I mean.

I remember the awful SF cartoon in the US (couldn't even bear to watch it) but never saw the DS one, though I've heard about it since then. After seeing those pics.....geez, that was awful. The OVAs were good though...and my fav. anime SF is definately the SF movie...not the Alpha one or the anime series (which could've been a lot better IMO).

Just wondering,what do you all think of the concept of a Darkstalkers movie? I think it'd be pretty wicked. Now this would be a great idea,IMO. So long as they have lots of special effects and stuff. And they'd have to have a dynamite cast,of course. Angelina Jolie as Morrigan(I'm sure she can fake a Scottish accent)Lucy Liu as Hsien-Ko,Jennifer Lopez as Felicia( ),some British dude as Talbain,Arnold Schwarzengger as Victor,e.t.c. the list goes on!
So,what do you guys think?
Poll
video games as movies=yuck!
I just think we have yet to see it done correctly. For example, the SF movie sucked. Of course, the people making it weren't interested in the fans....the Mario movie sucked too, it wasn't anything like Mario. I thought the Wing COmmander movie was ok, and I thought the Tomb Raider movie was ok as well. Still they weren't as good as they could've been, but I mean, I never thought they'd make a good comic book movie either, but Blade came and then X-men, and now Spider-man. What's more, Sam Raimi seems to actually be a Spidey fan and care about having it actually be Spider-man. He seems to care about the fans. I think a video game movie could be done very well, but they need to have people working on it who are fans, or at least get opinions from a group of fans who would help them get an idea if something would work or not. If the person making the movie was a fan, I think it could really work out good. We just assume it doesn't work because we've never seen it work...

The Megaman cartoon series? To me, it seemed like the animation budget was blown on the title sequence -- because most of the other times, I cringed at the animation quality! (Oddly enough, kinda like the American Darkstalkers series -- the stills from the title sequences actually seemed cool from what I saw, and then everything just plummeted from there!)
I'm trying to remember -- was Rockman/Megaman 7 already out by the time this series started, or did it start much earlier? I'm trying to wonder how in the world they could've brought in Forte/Bass and Gospel/Treble...
Yeah, the looks of the cartoon was weak, but it is sincere to the series. If I remember correctly, it came out after Rockman VII. Why Forte and Gospel weren't included is beyond me. Maybe not many people did play VII.
