We don't really feel any better or worse about the Tekken film based on these, but we have to admit one thing: They nailed the pants. Nailed them.

Where's the 70's porn stache? Other than that looks pretty good...Foxhound I'm a really big Tekken fan (played all of them) and I have to say the anime movie was horrible by every measure...Half way through the movie I started poking myself in the eye with a blunt object because I couldn't take it anymore.

The first guy actually looks the part (sans mustache of course).
100x better than the guy playing Goku in the Dragonball movie.

This will be the second live action Dragonball movie. The first had a wonderful ending theme with the line "and protect of from the evil aliens that smell like monkey nuts" in it.

I agree, they do look weird.
It's kind of funny too that some cosplay I've seen actually looks better than a lot of the wardrobe outfits from videogame movies.

If they do not have the epic Man vs. Raptor battle of the anime, this will fail. If it does have it, well, it will still fail but be worth putting on a Netflix queue.

"If this is made by Asians I'll check it out, as Asian cinema's always Asian no matter how bad it may be. If this is American, however, then I'm sending these guys a box full of do not want"
There, correction made. Don't thank me.

Clearly, you have not seen Gojoe. Yeah, yeah, I know, it's more cerebral. I still got bored by it though.

A very good MMA fighter (in the UFC league) named Roger Huerta is one of the fighters in this movie. Atleast we know that one of the guys can actually fight for real. Although imagine the japanese/chinese actors also know martial arts because all japanese/chinese people are born with the ability to kung-fu. right?

Well....we shall see how this adaptation goes....
The casting looks to match the character at least.
Hey...I had no expectations for DOA...and the adaptation wasn't the worst ever.....it was a fighting game after all. Though some would disagree with me.

I don't know about this -- Cung Le clearly doesn't look Chinese. That's really going to throw me off. I'm not one to believe strictly that a character must be played by an actor of the exact same ethnicity but this is a little tough for me to overlook.
To me, this would be like a movie with a South Italian character played by a Norwegian actor. Not exactly believable.

Is he in this one too?
Geez, you'd think he was the only asian actor in the world.
As long as it doesn't have Russell Wong in it. That guy must be the worst actor since Eric Bana...

I might see this movie just because Cung Le is a badass.

Well, since none of the people we EXPECTED would be in it are there, I guess we knew it would suck. The question is now:
Will it do worse the DOA?
Will it keep up with street fighter and Mortal Kombat?

Great casting with extraordinary fighters, but I have this to say:
Cung Le=> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dL1paOMDtwY
Jonathan Foo=> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eo8HVJ5vNJI
Cung Le's style is kick-boxing oriented (although he has excellent kicks and throws from other martial arts), whereas Jonathan Foo's style is much more kung-fu based.
It'd be more logical if Cung Le starred as Jin Kazama and that Jonathan Foo starred as Marshall Law.

It should have been Takeshi Kaneshiro playing Jin Kazama. Not John Woo.
