Tekken Movie Trailer

[FreedomR8G6B1]

i don't think i can stomach this......

shang tsung does not = heihachi...

I'm just asking out on a limb...did you say this also...

"Liu Kang does not = Gen?"

Did I see Paul in there? I think i saw him for a second.
Well, King isn't there.

Xiaoyu? I didn't noticed her, same with Hwoarang.
Why Marshall Law not Forest Law?

Don't think Paul is in the movie and King has a cameo, he's played by Dave Batista.

Xiaoyu's appearance is questionable and Hwoarang is confirmed for the opening fight. He is played by Jae He.
Why Marshall instead of Forrest? Beats me but Marshall is the more prominent Law.

I'm just asking out on a limb...did you say this also...

"Liu Kang does not = Gen?"

Cary-Hiroyuki Takagawa as Heihachi was a much more sensible choice than Robin Shou as Gen.

Watch The Protector/Tom Yum Goong with Tony Jaa for an idea of what to expect, a good deal of the stunt team and fighters are borrowed from that movie.

King has a cameo, he's played by Dave Batista.

Dave Batista? For real?:O_O:

It hits Japanese theaters on March 6th and a DVD and BluRay release on April 5th in the UK. No word on a US release date.

Well the reasoning behind no Lei Wulong is because they originally wanted some of the fighters the characters were based on to play their characters. And they got pretty close too. Obviously getting Jackie Chan would have been difficult but not impossible since (at the time) he was attached to the now dead Soul Calibur project.

Honestly this trailer looks pretty damn good but the really low budget is very apparent. The only thing thats awry really is giving Christie a major role, not that its a big problem or anything but there are many other female characters that are more relevant to Jin's plight than Christie. Like Xiaoyu or Lili.



You're condemning the movie for giving characters random goatees? You might as well condemn The Dark Knight for having a brunette Bruce Wayne.

Maybe its just the quality of the trailer but Anton Kasabov as Dragunov looks nothing like a pretty boy and looks pretty damn close to his character. And the bald guy? That was Steve Fox, not Miguel. Miguel is played by Roger Huerta who is very much Spanish and has a very small role and was in the Trailer for maybe two seconds. Why is Steve bald? Probably because Luke Goss couldn't grow his hair in time for the shoot and they couldn't afford a believable wig.

And the story line is Tekken 3's story, loosely based of course especially considering the incredibly small budget.

Well its obvious that you're judging the movie on how close it gets the characters appearance. Which has nothing to do with the story. And obviously the story isn't the important aspect here. Hell you don't play Tekken for its transparent story in the first place. Tekken's always been about fighting, and thats exactly what this movie is about. They wouldn't have casted a team of martial artists instead of actors if they were going to put an emphasis on story.

WRONG. alot of people i know have enjoyed tekken for the story up until it went out the window in 5 and 6. IS IT THAT MUCH OF A PROBLEM TO ASK FOR? the last fighting game movie that was supposed to be all fighting, king of fighters, blew chunks after all was said and done. the story of the prodigal son, kazuya, returning to bust his old man's ass, his supposed moment of weakness with jun, everyone getting thrown off cliffs and volcanos, jin coming out of nowhere to get revenge on ogre and busting his grandad's ass because he's envious the devil gene skipped a generation, and lee who's basically the stepson who crap for not wanting to beat the crap out of his adoptive dad... i love it. is it so wrong to ask for alittle substance with my mindless action? my pops introduced me to tekken when i was 11, i loved it ever since.... this isn't really tekken at all. but i've probably wated my words on you, haitien.... you're a snob about everything if no one sees it the way you do..... so whatever, I won't be seeing it, and if i do, it'll be at someone else's expense.

and i LIKED the dark knight, you dick.

Now now little one no need to get so infuriated and cross. And you didn't "wated" your words on me or whatever you were trying to say. First off did I say no one enjoys Tekken's story? No I didn't, I said it wasn't Tekken's selling point. The point of Tekken has always been the fighting and that's the core of this movie, fighting. Every time they try to add in some inane plot it to something which wasn't about plot things go wrong, like Legend of Chun Li, MK: Annihilation, or Dead or Alive. This largely independent production is a step in the right direction, sure a bigger budget would have been nice but its a start. I'd rather see a martial arts video game movie actually about martial arts for once.

Yes that's Tekken's backstory, but its not a huge part of the game, you could play any Tekken game and ignore that entire aspect and still not miss out on the core game.

And who's to say that backstory won't be in the movie at all? Yes the emphasis may be on fighting but it doesn't mean it'll just be back to back action and no plot development. Besides the fans that saw the November 5th premier in Santa Monica have all said it was faithful to the storyline with the exception of two characters.

Besides the movie isn't even out yet, to say its not Tekken at all without even seeing it is incredibly ignorant and childish of you.

And as horrible as Hong Kong's King of Fighters looks, it hasn't came out yet so your opinion on the final product of the movie is invalid at this time.

The Dark Knight bit was an example of how flawed your judgment was. If you're hating Tekken for giving beards to characters that didn't have beards then you're practically hating The Dark Knight for changing the hair color on characters.

I'm saying. The story (If there is one..it doesn't look like it) looks like It will be kinda lame and generic, but the fighting looks like it'll be amazing.
