Jack from the Art of Fighting series makes a cameo appearance as one of the two guys who beat up a drunk Terry in one of the bars.

According to an interview, character designer Masami Obari came up with the idea of casting Hirotaka Suzuoki as the voice of Krauser. He also made the anime version of Krauser much younger than the video game version as he wanted the character to be more of an "evil" Terry than "Uncle Krauser."

The Japanese LD release features the bonus Big Bear vs. Cheng Sinzan match not available in the U.S. VHS release. It is, however, included in the Fatal Fury: Double Impact DVD as an Easter Egg. The scene is not available in English, but subtitles can be activated while viewing.

To activate it, go to the Extra Stuff menu, highlight "Conceptual Drawings." Then, hit the Right button on your remote. The cursor appears in Terry's eye. Hit Select to access the "Joe vs. Big Bear" fight, a scene that was not featured in the U.S. release of Fatal Fury 2.

The Discotek Media re-release includes the Big Bear vs. Cheng Sinzan scene as part of the main feature. However, since the scene was never originally dubbed into English, the audio track switches to Japanese for that scene, then switches back to English.

Not a revolutionary animated movie by any means but this sequel to Fatal Fury has a reasonably good story and interesting characters. The color scheme is bright and easy on the eye and the animation style is better than most Japanese anime in which everyone looks like Asian/American to appeal to both audiences.

I thought that Krauser was a cool bad guy and, for once, one that I doubted the hero (Terry Bogard) couldn't defeat so easily. His costume was a bit excessive and it is hard to believe that he could be so agile under such a suit but one can overlook such a flaw easily.

Terry's brother Andy returns and so does Joe Higashi but it's the 2 new characters that are the best thing about this movie. Kim is a teenage boy who idolizes Terry and considers him to be a real role model. But he is gutted when he discovers that Terry is just a burnt out drunk and will do anything for him until he gets back on his feet. The other new character is Mai and she is a very "bouncy" character if you know what I mean.

The fight scenes are very well thought out and vivid. Every punch and kick looks painful and the other heavies look pretty mean too. But we all know that in the end Terry is gonna beat the crap out of them. Just like the video game says…Terry Bogard is the King of Fighters.

But at 68 minutes you feel a little cheated. But with such a short running time there is no room for fat.

That just about describes it. Good fight scenes and good character's but (even though the story had a plot) it just seemed like an empty lead in. The best thing is 2 of the subplots: The relationship between Andy and a beautiful and tough female martial artist (more of a comedy bit at times), and Terry taking in a boy inspiring to be a fighter. Fun for fights but over all empty.

I've been an SNK fan since the early days of Ikari Warriors and Athena. I like a majority of the games for the NeoGeo and that's why I was excited when I first heard about the Fatal Fury anime. Well, I wasn't too disappointed with it, but it definitely could have been better. The animation is good, but not great. The fight scenes should have been a lot better(seeing Axel Hawk get knocked out with one punch just isn't right). Even the last fight was lamed. Wolfgang never even hit the ground, but he just assumed he lost and then falls out the window in his castle, WTF? Well, at least this was better than the first one. I would recommend this for a rental at best. I wouldn't mind seeing an anime version of Fatal Fury 3, or Real Bout, but that might not happen.
