Sure, we could've seen it when it was in theaters last year, but it was only playing in Hoboken, New Jersey and Laurel, Nebraska, so ... yeah.

Oh wow this is just now getting released? Not a terrible movie, but it definitely wasn't something I'd wanna watch twice.

@AZPuck98 Wow indeed. There's some scenes that are worth a chuckle over just how moronic they are. There's some scenes that are so cliched you want to vomit. And this is probably the first fighting game movie where a character is raped. Like RAPE raped. Like, "No please don't!" raped. Said character's arc ends up in being possesed and punched in the face by the good guys. It makes me rage.

@216 Exactly my thoughts on the release, I thought this came out last year, I'd watch it again, but I wouldn't pay for it.

Hinkle, as much as I love you for choosing to live in my hometown, this movie's so bad it's just BAD.
... Although I admit I couldn't help wondering if they'd make Kazuya turn into that ridiculous purple demon at the end of it.

You know I've seen worst.. lol this actually doesn't seem that bad. But I'm a Kombatant... I'm not into Tekken.

This is Mortal Kombat: Annihilation's less talented younger brother.

@FinalFantasyXIIIsucks wouldn't that be cousin? A brother would be something similar from Netherealm/WB?

The "so bad it's good" movie is my favourite kind of movie.
Besides, half a second of Eddie being pummeled is enough to make this trailer excellent.

Has anyone watched the King of Fighters movie yet?
Posted: Jun 3rd 2011 9:11AM Don Cheeto said
@Brother Unit No 4
King of Fighers was fantastic. The difference between it and Tekken is that it was bad enough to enjoy ironically, while Tekken was just a sorta boring kind of mediocre.
Anyone who thinks either one was worse than the games' story is deluded though.

It is especially worse when fighting games get turned into movies though. They have to stretch whatever story there is into a full length movie. I really don't get why anyone would want to make movies from fighting games.

Hey. There is a legitimate martial arts flick dying to get out in the first Mortal Kombat movie. Particularly in the badass Liu v. Reptile sequence.
Also, I have a small orgasm when I hear Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa say the word "tournament." Don't judge me.

DOA movie - Cheazy -_-
Street Fighter Movie - Pretty laughable
King of Fighters Movie - Cringworthy
Tekken Movie - Flawed in so many ways
Mortal Kombat Movie - Only decent fighting movie
Virtua Fighter Movie: ?
Marvel Vs Capcom Movie: Not likely, but still an interesting prospect

it wasn't bad for a "video game movie" but I wouldn't want to watch this twice.... Sooo thats twice for the TEKKEN universe because the animation was forgettable too.... PASS

I cant wait for the videogame based on this movie

Sad thing is that Mortal Kombat Rebirth probably will be the best fighting movie ever made, and it isn't even a full length movie

The DOA movie was a fun rental and it looks like Tekken will be too.
Definitely looks better than some of the Netflix instant streaming movie I've had the misfortune of pushing play on... When are they going to incorporate trailers for Netflix on the Xbox anyway?

Anyone have screenshots of the characters?
Kinda curious of how everyone turned out.
Cause Hitachi or what ever his name looks, strange.
At least they tried to make the weird hair he had in the came.
