Movies Based on Fighting Games
As a producer of my own short fighting film, http://www.girlfightmovie.com, I have become a resource for everything combat here on IMDB. This fighting list covers the movies and media that are based off of fighting games, from the popular Mortal Kombat series to the bombed Double Dragon & King of the Fighters films, this list covers live-action, animated, anime, live shows, television, webisodes, and more as it relates to these mediums based on fighting games. It does not cover fan content so the list can remain small and open for officially licensed media.

- DirectorJohn MedlenStarsAngelica BridgesChris CasamassaDana HeeThe Mortal Kombat Federation of Martial Arts was Threshold Entertainment's answer to the restrictions of the franchise involving the Midway Game Mortal Kombat. The challenge was to create a game that successfully promoted the video game without competing against it. The answer we developed was to use a stock market investing game model attached to an active online community to generate interest. The community discussion built every week leading to a big fight that would play out in installments over the weekend. This allowed players to essentially bet on their favorites by purchasing more stock prior to a fight and then hoping that their stock would go up in battle if their player won. during the course of the week we would write a lot of background story with hints about who might win and who might go up in value because of their association with the winner.
