My stomach always seems to make noises that sound like "Uwe Boll" whenever I see that man's name attached to a film's credits.

Tekken... movie? I guess they feel like third time's the charm for movies based on fighting games, after the bombs that were Mortal Kombat and Street Fighter.

Don't forget the D.O.A movie.

Oh wait, I'm sorry, I read that wrong; you stated 'bombs' not abomination.

I'd like to know who's going to play Yoshimitsu! And will he keep his mask on? Soul Calibur would make a better film, especially if it was directed by Tsui Hark (Seven Swords).

Hahaha I remember seeing the trailer for the D.O.A. movie and thinking to myself why would anyone make that movie. Did anyone see it? Is it out to rent yet?

It's been out on dvd for about five months now. I personally don't think it's that bad myself. It's about on par with a Charlie's Angels flick and the fight scenes are actually pretty decent.

Perhaps I'll have to rent it, now the only problem is finding a place that actually carries it...

Maybe this will be the start of a new era:

The "Straight to Blue-Ray" era.

They need to make a Virtua Fighter movie where they jump 15 feet in the air like assholes.

They haven't jumped like that since VF2/FIGHTERS MEGAMIX... but the comment's still hilariously t-shirt worthy.

Seeing how they got a british guy to play Fox, I hope they actually get people of the same ethnic as the video game characters for this game.

I wouldn't be suprised if they changed the main character of Jin or Kazuma(spell?) to someone like Paul Julia Chan or Roger. LOL

Tekken movie? They're going to attempt to coherently explain how the fuck all of these zany characters coexist?


It just makes me wish that Bruce Lee were here for Law's role. But then again, he'd be over 60 years old.



Oh, and it'd suck for the dude playing Steve Fox, seeing that he'd never get to bang his mom Nina Williams.

I think it has a chance of being a good fighting movie. Mortal Combat was a good fighting movie with pretty great special effects for that time. The plot and acting were just enough to keep you interested and the martial artists in the film were some of the best at that time. Sure it wasn't a Jet Li or Chow Yun Fat flick but it had moments.

Never seen DOA, not really a fan. As for other games turned movies I have to say Silent Hill and Resident Evil are among the best as just movies alone. I'm a hardcore RE player and I found the movies to be an A- at least. DOOM was a great action movie, House of the Dead made me and my husband laugh but what can you expect from a movie that gives you a bunch of guns and zombies. And yes, I'll admit, there was no hope for Street Fighter.

Point is people need to seperate the game from the movie for about an hour and a half and enjoy it for what it is. If the director and writers can come up with some good actors, a decent story and fluid martial arts then they'll have a great fighting movie. Personally I can't wait to see it.
