I must be even more out-of-the-loop than even I realized. Did you know that a movie was being made from the TEKKEN video-game? Well why didn’t you tell me?! I’m the one with the website built around crap like that; I deserve to know these things.
Anyway, a movie based on the video-game TEKKEN has been filmed…I think the people in the trailer are the only ones cheering. Speaking of the trailer, it is below this text. It’s pretty terrible, but if you find things like this funny,
Words escape me...
you may enjoy it…but probably not. Behold!
As you may have noticed, that trailer has a few problems. It literally took me ten viewings to figure out what that guy with the generic tattoo was saying at the very beginning. I don’t recommend anyone else watching it that many times, so I’ll save you the agony and tell you he says “this is Iron Fist.” Yeah…it’s not as funny as I originally thought either.
That's much better.
The most damning thing that I can say about this trailer is that it’s boring. None of the fights look very exciting and none of the hits seem all that powerful. I’m also curious how winning a fighting tournament gives you control of the world. Though, now I’m a little worried that Brock Lesnar is secretly pulling Barak Obama’s strings…
If the trailer, just wasn’t enough TEKKEN for you (and I couldn’t blame you if it wasn’t), Coming Soon has some pics from the movie that may interest you. I have placed some of my favorites below.
Why don't people take me seriously?!
NOOOOOOO!! MY CAREER!!!!
Damn you're fine.
You know, bullets are more effective when combined with a gun.
It is nice to see Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa (a.k.a. Asian bad-guy) get more work. Sure, he only plays the one character in almost everything that he has ever done, but he’s just so damn good at it. I was just watching SHOWDOWN IN LITTLE TOKYO the other day and he was awesome as the Asian bad-guy who dry-humped some blond chick before slicing her head off with a katana. Don’t worry Tagawa, I’m sure this one will get you that Oscar that has, so far, eluded you.
