Introduction to "Fatal Fury -THE MOTION PICTURE-"
A theatrical anime film released on July 16, 1994, adapted from SNK's fighting game series "Fatal Fury." The film was distributed by Shochiku and produced jointly by Shochiku, Fuji Television, SNK, and Asatsu-DK. It was directed by Masami Obari, who previously served as character designer and chief animation director for the TV special "Fighting Warrior: Legend of the Wolf."
The story revolves around the "Mars Cloth," which holds significant divine power, depicting intense battles between Terry Bogard and others against Laocorn Gaudeamus, a descendant of the Gaudeamus clan. Original movie characters, including Laocorn and his twin sister Sulia, appear, unfolding an entirely original plot different from the games.
In "FATAL FURY: City of the Wolves," Laocorn, an original character representing this title, joins the roster as a playable fighter. He makes his return to the mainline "Fatal Fury" series after approximately 30 years, pursuing the "Mars Cloth" and engaging in new battles.
