Tekken Head Honcho Hates the Tekken Movie

[OceanRunner]

Videogame films are nothing special. Filmmakers should call it quits on the whole thing.

I dunno, looks good to me. At least it seems faithful to the, erm, 'plot' of the series... which only makes me shudder worse when I think about the upcoming King of Fighters movie. Alternate realities... ugh...

Didn't know Tekken was still popular enough to warrent a film. I mean, I haven't known anyone to play the games since Tekken 3 on the PSX. Or maybe Tekken 4 on the PS2 when there was pretty much nothing else on the system to play.

Wait, wait... it was never released in theaters and is going straight to DVD? Well, shit, of course it sucks in that case!

Question:
Where are all the non-human (and partially human characters), they were always my favorites, like;
Panda, King, Mokujin and Roger (Jr.)?
Is it just me who thinks that these humans are to mundane, sure their fighting skills will be awesome, but who doesn?t wanna see Panda wuppin' some fighter ass.

No?

Come on...

You can tell by the trailer it doesn't live up to the game. Jin's doesn't look like his video game counterpart.

My Dad's currently directing a movie adaptation of the game King of Fighters.
He's going to be a bit disappointed.

Tekken>Titanic 2. Actually I didn't think Tekken was all that bad to be honest. I could watch it by myself without having people taking bets on if I could.

Spoiler

it's gradually revealed in the film that the Mishima family all hate each other :O

Wait, that needed a spoiler? ???

 

[Insane_Foxx]

looking at the trailer, it looks like it has too much plot for what i've seen of Tekken

 

[SomebodyNowhere]

I remember seeing the trailer for it a while back and gave up any hope that it might be even close to decent.

Not really. I was being satirical about how they salvaged what little plot Tekken has and throw it into the movie for a reason for Kazuya to try and kill Heihachi and Jin to try to kill Kazuya and saddly there were no devil forms, although my friend kept insisting Heihachi was gonna go devil when he was about to be executed and i was constantly saying that he'd never even gone devil in the games. also im sure they kept calling the company Tekken, it's the Mashima Zaibatsu and the security force is called tekken and the tournament is the king of iron fist. its not hard...
