In the cast you&#8217;ve got Ray Park, Maggie Q and Francoise Yip, all of whom have shown pretty impressive martial arts\/action chops in previous films.\u00a0 In the director&#8217;s chair is Gordon Chan, who has directed one of Jet Li&#8217;s best pictures, <strong>Fist Of Legend<\/strong>. But t hen again, Park, Q and Yip have not been making spectacular career choices lately. Park is languishing in a role on the TV series <em>Heroes<\/em> that sees him as little more than set dressing, Q hasn&#8217;t managed to leverage her visibility in <strong>Mission: Impossible 3<\/strong> and <strong>Live Free Or Die Hard<\/strong> into a Hollywood career and Yip has had similar lack of success in landing a break out role for herself. And Chan&#8217;s post Fist Of Legend work has not been particular inspiring, with him having directed <strong>Thunderbolt<\/strong> and <strong>The Medallion<\/strong>, the worst Jackie Chan movies not called <strong>The Tuxedo<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Sure, all involved could somehow reach within themselves to find some vestige of their former glory and really deliver a film that will thrill end entertain. But the trailer below suggests otherwise. Sure, it could just be a bad trailer, but isn&#8217;t a trailer supposed to show, or at least tease you with, all the good bits?<\/p>\n<p><strong>The King Of Fighters<\/strong> is due in theaters sometime next year.
