@Xsingular
This kid doesn't look asian at all. Grandson and heir to the Mishima Zaibatsu? This kid looks like i could beat him up with a sock full of marshmallows.

@SuperWoody64
I agree. I could be wrong but he doesn't look Asian, which shouldn't be too alarming seeing as how Hollywood and movies in general have a disgusting tendency at "whitewashing" main protagonists of videogame films as being "other than their original ethnicity." The Prince in the new Prince of Persia movie; Goku from Dragon Ball Evolution; that Smallville chick in the Chun Li movie; the list goes on.

@Pure Black World Tendency Agree

@Pure Black World Tendency and others who have seen it,
All I wanna know is: Does anyone fight a bear or a kangaroo?

@Brando Calrissian

No. Because that might be fun to watch. And this movie has a strict non-fun policy.

@Hollywood:


STOP THIS AT ONCE!!!

@Pure Black World Tendency

I dunno, it might be worth seeing for the Heihachi-on-Jin rape scene pictured.

@Apsac D
yeah i liked Christie's outfit too.

@peternography
Silent Hill is good.

And if you aren't stuck up, the first Street Fighter live-action film (Raul Julia made one of the most awesome M.Bisons ever) and the Super Mario bros. movies were damn good if you stop knit-picking about why Bowser rules the kingdom or what not.

Dead or Alive was okay too I guess... there wasn't much of a story there in the first place, and besides turning a few characters into guys, still made Ryu look a little like a badass at least.

@DevilSei lol, street fighter and mario were two of the worst films ever made and constantly appear on lists of the 50 worst movies! I don't think it's about being stuck up, it's about childhood memories. I think most of us loved the street fighter and mario moives when we were younger because we were so excited to see a game on tv but nostalgia aside, they are two of the worst movies ever made and have very little to do with the games. Remember Ryu's Hadouken; he did it from point blank and it was like a tiny spark!

@DevilSei

Silent Hill was AWFUL. Everything looked nice but it had the most mind-numbingly boring script of all time. I did like Dead Or Alive though because, well, who gives a shit about a script when Holly Valance is fighting in a bikini in the rain? Tekken is a lot like that. The characters are all pretty close to the game (apart from Marshall Law who is some muay thai guy now and not Bruce Lee) and the story, for what it is, is well handled. The fights are cool and the kid playing Jin is really good. Worth watching for fans, definitely.

@Brained
When you can make a decent argument, come talk to me.
Plot wise, there wasn't much you could work out of either flick. And I ended up watching the Super Mario Bros well beyond when it was released, so it wasn't through some nostalgia-fogged glasses. You want to watch a fat, sweaty Italian in a red suit running through castles and talking to a bunch of mushrooms and stomping midgets all movie long? Go ahead. Personally I enjoyed the dystopian take on the mushroom kingdom, and there was more than enough subtle references throughout the movie.
As for street fighter, its the same deal. The plot was basic, but Raul Julias acting made it bearable, and if you want to see the closest thing to a real-life Bison, nothing beats his rendition. The movie never took itself seriously anyways, so why be serious when watching it?

@Attackosaur
Yeah, I only say Silent Hill is great because of the attention paid to the atmosphere, the story may suck dino-balls, but the effects and music (helped they got permission to use the games soundtrack) were great, and I felt it was true to theme in that regard. I'll give them credit though, Silent Hills story is batshit insane, lots of psuedos and psychological aspects plaything through it, it wouldn't really work well in a 2-3hr bit of film.

@Sam406 Is it odd that I'm now imagining the old man going "Shhh, this is going to happen."

@Sam406

A.K.A ..

stop at 0:35 on the link above,

and look at the tekken image.

I rest my case.

@Sam406

He dropped the soap

@Faceless Troll

Foreground is Jin, background is Shang Tsung from Mortal Kombat as Heihachi. Jin looks like he's stolen James Van Der Beek's crying face.

@Attackosaur And here I thought some Joystiq editor shooped his face in. Though now that I think about it he bears a frightening resemblance to Michael Blagojevich.

@Fuzunga: It's true, in the movie industry. But if you take your time, and get someone who cares/knows about the subject matter, they're awsome. I could've written a better movie (and actually did, back in high school.)
