Live-Action Tekken Movie Trailer

January 15th, 2010

Looks pretty awful (“This is Iron Fist!”), although I like the real-life “Character Select Screen.”

I’m surprised by how faithful the film is to the look of the characters, Yoshimitsu in particular.

Hiroyuki Tagawa (Shang Tsung from Mortal Kombat) looks fairly ridiculous as Heihachi.

Also, I’m not too sure about the actor playing Jin Kazama (Jon Foo, who does have a background in martial arts).

Here he is, looking a bit more Jin-like in the Japanese movie poster:

Not bad, right?

I think it’s the actor’s voice more than anything else that sort of ruins it for me; Jin has always had a pretty manly (Japanese) voice in the games.
