Marvel at the Tekken movie's amazing outfits

click to peruse outfits

Two words, folks: Flame pants. Nothing says "iron fist" quite like Jin Kazama's classy couture, and these latest shots from the upcoming Tekken film deliver in spades. Be assured, this ain't no fan-made hullabaloo -- we can clearly see someone spent at least a couple hundred bucks making this thing. The film hits Japanese viewers on March 20 and presumably arrives on US shores in the not too distant future. But for now, why not get started on piecing together your Eddy cosplay? How could you resist those sweet contrasting colors!

Still looks better than the DOA movie.
God was that movie horrible.
I'm hoping Tekken is more like Mortal Kombat.
it's still technically bad but still enjoyable

I feel the need to clarify your statement:

The FIRST Mortal Kombat movie is somewhat enjoyable and entertaining (surprising considering when it was released).

The SECOND Mortal Kombat movie is literally a waste of your time should you watch it.

Oh, this movie looks like absolute garbage but, hell, I'll still watch it.

Doesn't looks good, but will watch still how badly they done it.
It should be in pure CG like FF advent children style...

another bomb by hollywood unless they add more content story-wise.

Tekken is the last fighting game that needs more story. The film? Maybe, but as far as fighting games go, I feel as if Tekken has one of the most richly developed storylines. It's pretty darn convoluted too.

Kelly Overton, nomnomnom

....

GAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH....

I can FEEL my BRAINS MELTING from the STUPIDITY of it all!!!

Um excuse me green and yellow are tertiary colors. Ahem.

And..... This looks STUPID!

Excuse me waiter? Theres Predator in my Tekken...

I'll watch this movie 30 years from now. Only then will I really be able to appreciate it.

Wow... they got the guy that was Shang Tsung in the Mortal Kombat movie to be Heihachi...

I noticed that, too. He needs to be in the next Street Fighter movie to complete the trifecta.

"your soul is mine" "LIUUUUUUU"

That's Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa! One of B-moviedom's greatest villains.

Video Game Movies: Confusing Parents as to why kids waste their time with those stupid things since the 80's

OMG, Nina and Anna's costumes! My eyes!

Yeah, I--

*Stares*

I'm sorry, what?

It seems like it's Hollywood's obligation to make these really cheesy/bad looking live-action representations of video games.

This.

I don't know why they'd relegate Tekken to an underground fighting club. I was excited that the costumes were somewhat accurate but everything around the costumes and characters looks HORRIBLE.

To be fair though, Tekken itself is pretty cheesy. So it's not really that surprising the film turned out this way.

Then again I personally don't believe that a live action film of any fighting game, unless it's a parody, can be successfully made.

I wonder why they always select the game that have stories that are beyond confusing in the first place to turn into movies. Fighting games? This is just as dumb as a Tetris movie.

I take that back.

I think the Tetris movie is a better idea.

Tetris + pacman + minesweeper movies > Tekken movie...

Street Fighter VS Tekken!

ROUND 1
FIGHT!

Marvel v. Capcom 2

It ain't tekken without King.

I was disappointed when I found out that King wasn't a man with a Leopard head, and was instead just a Mexican in a mask.

Whaaaaa?

lolz spoiler alert!!! ;P

baaahahahaha

I highly doubt this movie will even approach the supreme awesome cheesiness of the original Street Fighter movie.

90% of movies are crap anyway, so we should relish the ones that are "so bad they're good".

And not to defend videogame movies, but every single one of them has been better than the first (Super Mario Brothers) which is easily one of the worst films I have ever seen.

I'll give them this much...the first time I saw The Protector (Tom Yum Goong), I instantly thought "If they ever make a movie he needs to be Eddie"

Lo and Behold, Lateef Crowder is Eddie Gordo. Didn't have to grow his hair out or anything lol

+ 1 point for Lateef
+ 1 point for accurate costumes that don't look TOO silly (only kind of)

Story be damned (the LEAST important thing in a Martial Arts movie is the story...), can they make an enjoyable martial arts movie? Casting people who can already use the fighting styles is making it seem plausible.

Yeah that's pretty cool. Lateef Crowder as Eddie. I went to high school with him back in the mid '90s. Pretty cool guy back then. Looks like he got his break into movies which is good for him!

Oh c'mon, you act as if they don't know how to make good live action movies.

Didn't you see the live action Dragon Ball movie!?

All gaming movies should be in CG ONLY

Tekken 6's CGI is godly. Make an entire movie like that, and I'll be happy.

I assume you are talking about this for a dbz movie

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SHg-NtQs-Hc

Cos there is no way in hell you was talking about Dragonball Evolution being a good movie

Zefur, that was actually decent.

As for Evolution - I'm embarrassed for myself having seen half the movie.

D dogg

Your better then me from the first two minutes I wanted to turn of my laptop and chuck it far far away from me but I forced myself to watch the whole of it because "it was something that had to be done" It wasnt worth it at all and the same can be said for the chunli movie I want my wasted time back =[

The 6th photo in that gallery shows the face I made when I saw these screens.

I always thought fighting game designers had never have relationships with real, human women... and seeing the cheap reproductions of the costumes on the bemused looking actresses in those stills only reinforced that notion.

Nina's is actually the only one that's REALLY bad. The thing is, given how many outfits Nina has had they could've easily gotten her something a little less...tacky.

1) Why does Japan get a release of an American film first?

2) This is the same production company that did Ghost Rider *shudders*.

3) The same company is making a Castlevania movie.

The world is ending...

This one looks so wrong.

kazuya with battle axes

I really don't understand why anyone chooses to make movies out of fighting games.

why? because daigo umehara and justin wong can't actually shoot fireballs, that's why

Jin is the main character of this movie I assume based on the trailer ... yet he is the wimpiest and worst looking casting out of all the people for this movie. He's small and looks like shit ... Jin is jacked and up to par with everyone else in the games wtf ...
