There have already been fighting video games made into movies like Mortal Kombat and Street Fighter.
However, they failed to engage even the hardcore fans. The last one, Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun-Li even flopped at the box office.
When the first Tekken movie trailer came out last January, I watched it expecting nothing out of the ordinary.
Just like the Piranha 3D banned footage, the trailer captured my interest compelling me to watch it once it is released.
It also helped that as a big mixed-martial arts fan, real-life fighters like Cung Le and Roger Huerta are present.
Tekken also stars Jon Foo, Kelly Overton, Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa and Ian Anthony Dale.
PLOT (Wikipedia):
The film follows Jin Kazama (Jon Foo) in his attempts to enter the Iron Fist Tournament in order to avenge the loss of his mother, Jun Kazama, by confronting his father, Kazuya Mishima (Ian Anthony Dale) and his grandfather, Heihachi Mishima (Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa), the latter of whom he thought were responsible for her death.

Tekken is directed by Dwight H. Little and produced by Steven Paul with a budget of $35 million.
Tekken was released in the US on November 5, 2009, and on August 4, 2010 in the Philippines. It is also to be released on DVD and Blu-ray in Japan on August 11, 2010 and in the UK on September 1, 2010, distributed by Optimum Releasing.

Walang King na character kaya wala si Batista. Wala din si Ron Perlman, Chiaki Kuriyama, Tamlyn Tomita at Jackie Chan.
Pero kahit wala masyado stars sa cast ng movie, panalo pa rin ang movie. Watch it yourself na lang.

The movie was a blast. As I’m not much into games, I was not so savvy with the game story. My son on the other hand kept me enlightened about each character’s ‘history’ as we watched the movie.
I can’t help but be awed at the fight choreography. I particularly liked the fighting style of Eddy Gordo with his amazing somersault assaults. Christie Monteiro’s outfit also gave us a very interesting view from the back.

It’s good that you brought along your son. You will feel each character more if you know their history. Tekken has a very rich historical background for each character.

I liked the animated tekken movie but anything after that i haven’t been a fan of regarding the video game /movie phase. the Comic Book Remakes have been good. Yet, there have been some serious failures in that area as well.
