PART 6

Ken Masters & Owen Wilson
(Submitted by Tony Tran)

 
 
Damn, Ken was Oooogly back in SF2 wasn't he? And Owen Wilson? No comment. Owen's first hollywood movie was in 1996... no way this was intentional.

 

Vice & Winona Ryder
 (Submitted by Signor Shiboigan)

 
 
The facial structures and hairstyles are on point! Winona Ryder was a pretty big star in the mid 90's so it's possible SNK took some inspiration for Vice's design in KOF 98... but I'm still going to rule this one a coincidence.

 

Ellen DeGeneres & King

 
 .                          
 
This is one of my favorite "separated at births" for some reason. King not only shares Ellen's facial structure, but also her hairstyle. It's also ironic how some people question King's sexual orientation as well.

 

Tom Cruise & Kim Kap Hwan

 
                          
 
I know Shinkiro and other Japanese artists have looked to American celebrities for inspiration. That said, in certain artworks, Korean Kim Kap Hwan somewhat resembles a young Tom Cruise. The hairstyles are very similar, but I'm not quite convinced that it's intentional. Close call though.


Alex Delarge & White

White from Real Bout Fatal Fury Special shares an obvious resemblance to Alex Delarge (played by Malcolm Mcdowell) from A Clockwork Orange (1971). White's visual design was clearly based off of A Clockwork Orange's psychotic protagonist. Thankfully, White left his jock-strap at home. lol.

 

Algol & Wilhelm von Homburg (as Vigo)
 (Submitted by Kaboom Kid)

 
 
Wilhelm von Homburg as Vigo in Ghostbusters II looks sort of like an older, "less powerful" Algol.

 

Bill Cutting & Dampierre

Due to his top hat, mustache, and height, Dampierre's appearance is reminiscent of Bill "The Butcher" Cutting (played by Daniel-Day Lewis) as seen in Gangs of New York (2002). Their personalities are very different though.

 

Ash & Alex Band
(Submitted by Rafael Polo)

 
 
Alex Band from the band "The Calling" and Ash Crimson are both very feminine males. If they ever made a quality live-action KOF movie, Alex Band would make a convincing Ash.

 

Rock Howard & Thad Luckinbill
(Submitted by run_away_to_saturn)

 
 
Thad Luckinbill from soap opera The Young and The Restless, sports a jacket that resembles Rock Howard's and is even borrowing Rock's (or Terry's) alternate color scheme. The only difference: Thad likes to tuck thumbs into his pockets while Rock likes to go with the fingers.
