• Oh come on, you had to add "Tekken sucks"?

• Why do you think it sucks? Its actually a pretty fun game. And its one of the best of its time. I mean sure there are better, but it doesn't suck. Seriously. >.> I'll try my best not to put my hopes in this movie. I saw Street Fighter....not a pretty site...so, yeah...I'll see what people say, and if majority say its a good movie I might consider seeing...I might...(fear of walking into Twilight.....I HATE THAT MOVIE! BURN!)

• Lateef Crowder. Look him up. He also does the motion capture for Eddy Gordo in the game

• *FROM*

• @AJ I guess I should have re-worded it as: "But hey, if they can do that for Prince of Persia (Jake Gyllenhaal as the Prince)AND GET AWAY WITH IT, WHAT'S STOPPING THEM FORM DOING IT to Tekken, The Last Airbender.....you get the point. That's the Hollywood or the movie business for you." Used caps cuz I couldn't bold the addition to my post/quote.

• @AJ I'm not siding with what they (Hollywood) are doing. They want to make money off of a franchise over keeping true to the story. That's why they have a lot of movie stars who don't fit in some roles. Money over quality. You've misinterpreted what I said. Read the first part of my post to ☆☆☆ jaganar ☆☆☆. I've played the Tekken games, seen Avatar: The last Airbender. Hell, I've even practiced Capoeira for a couple years.....just read the first part of my post to ☆☆☆ jaganar ☆☆☆. Also, Jake doesn't look like the Prince that much. Sure the semi-long hair, and facial hair, but that's it. @☆☆☆ jaganar ☆☆☆ Prince of Persia, and The Last Airbender from their trailers looks pretty good. I just start to lose interest when they start casting white people to play any race under the God-given sun. (See Sean Faris as Kyo Kusanagi for the King of Fighters.)

• "But hey, if they can do that for Prince of Persia (Jake Gyllenhaal as the Prince), I guess they can do it Tekken, The Last Airbender.....you get the point. That's the Hollywood or the movie business for you." So... because they actually made Jake look like the Prince, Hollywood can freely cast the most lily-white actors possible, not give them any makeup, and try to pass them off as a race they aren't? You do realize Christie is white as bread in this film, right? And that in Avatar they've cast a white 20-something as Sokka?

• @James22 : But hey, if they can do that for Prince of Persia (Jake Gyllenhaal as the Prince), I guess they can do it Tekken, The Last Airbender.....you get the point. That's the Hollywood or the movie business for you. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~`` airbender does look awesome and i for one am going to go to town and say that shamabooboo wants to apologize for "the happening" even ole' greentits (poison Ivy) hated that flick , and shes an eco-terrorist . Prince of peria , i cant wait for , only to see how demonic they make the Dahaka(WW) and my beloved Twins(T2T) it looks like it will live up to its gameing legacy . Jag

• As if this wasn't bad enough, there's already king of fighters, prince of persia, and possibly castlevania now. @☆☆☆ jaganar ☆☆☆ I agree with your reasons for the casting.....especially of Christie. I mean c'mon man, it's obvious you can tell she's not white in the videogame. They might (loose on the term might) be able to get away with that casting Jin. But Christie? But hey, if they can do that for Prince of Persia (Jake Gyllenhaal as the Prince), I guess they can do it Tekken, The Last Airbender.....you get the point. That's the Hollywood or the movie business for you.

• @Iulian: You mean Raven? And Tekken only sucks for button mashers and SF lovers. Having said that, this movie will me mind rape.

• Tekken becomes a lot more enjoyable after you get good enough at it to beat button mashers. After that, it's smooth sailing. I'd like to see Westley Snipes as Eddie Gordo :))))) You don't have to be a casting master to make people see this is a Tekken movie; the characters' outfits give them away. Tekken does not suck. Dragunov says so.

• I have a feeling this movie would suck but it doesn't look too bad but the storywise should been done from the start so there was an anime Tekken movie based on Tekken 2 storyline so thats why they did the live action with characters based on Tekken 3 to Tekken 6. If it fails it will be OK to watch the film. Thank You. BRUCE ACOSTA AUSTRALIA.

• Are you trying to lose readers?? I almost stopped unsubscribed from this site the last time. Not just because of that but because I was wondering about the articles in general. You guys aren't true fighting game fans, I can tell.

• *Ahem* Tekken is awesome. A Tekken movie is unnecessary...unless it's like this at the end: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QrzmusBQw7I

• Well, for something not official, there's a movie released a few years back called "Avenging Fist" that used some very Tekken-centric characters. If memory serves me correctly, it was a decent flick.

• @cocacolaoso a-fucking men im glad someone else knows him ... mention jackie chan or Chow Fat and you get on the radar like a motherfucker .. how about we go old school and say Mako (conan , uncle from Avatar ) , or Bolo ? ( aka the angry asian who kept on fucking up Van Damme )

• This movie's still gonna suck hardcore, there's no point in even denying it. It just didn't need to be made, just like 99% of all other video game movies. Still, it's slightly better than that King of Fighters movie they're making.

• Gareth@ Wha... whaaat? A fighting game movie where the cast is mostly ethnically correct?" Indeed. You said it. The etchnic casting and the underrated badass Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa as Heihachi Mishima is the only praise I could give to a movie based on a videogame. The track record says "movie based on a Video Game = CRAP".

• It looks like Tekken but i'll probably suck as a movie anyway.

• @vicVONdoombot .. then you cant read can you XD incase it didnt make itself plain my rant was for the legendary Cary Tagawa (becha didnt even know who he was :P )

• ☆☆☆ jaganar ☆☆☆, I see your words but all I read is NAMU NAMU NAMUUUUUUUU

• Sweet Mechanical Jesus, tell me Eddie Gordo is in this??? And if he is there is no one who can stunt double that summabitch!!!

• Wha... whaaat? A fighting game movie where the cast is mostly ethnically correct? Where I can identify that it looks like Tekken without seeing the title font? Oh my god, it's almost there, I may actually rent it. From the director of such gems as Halloween 4 and Marked for Death, and Murder at 1600? *Sigh* You're right, Tekken sucks.

• Excuse me, Tekken does not suck.

• ill post my reply to Tekken from my comment on the cast VIA youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lq6f-9hijiw if you are going to hate this garbage and rightly so , RESPECT TAGAWA enough to see him in an action flick . even if u gat to download it . JAG ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~` luke goss : seen shirtless in hellboy2 and one night with the king , proves he can fight =] Cary Tagawa as heihachi - nuff said =] *I FUCKING SWEAR IF ONE OF YOU BASTARDS dont respect him you have no taste in his fighting prowess * i am a fan of tagawa,he is my other favorite asian male actor after the legendary Mako, James Hong and Bolo Yeung , altho to my credit i cant give a definate order for them after MAKO . ONLY HIS FIGHTING SCENES alone will make this PIECE OF SHIT worth seeing .so there ;) Darrin henson - Raven looks the role as well as agressive ;) some loser playing JIN , forgettable ....shrugs, i wonder who he blew for the role X( Cary daniels - bryan fury meh ,,, i aint impressed lateef crowder as eddie could be done saw some footage of him in action so he could do it. HOW THE FUCK CAN THEY CAST A FUCKING WHITE GIRL TO BE A LATINA i mean WTF KELLY fucking OVERTON as christie monteiro , play the fucking game and you see her as latin with slight african features wtf is this shit Ian Dale as Kazuya i have no faith in this casting ... moving on Gary stearns as Yoshi , a fucking white guy playing a fucking japanese ninja/bandit the only NINJA i know are snake eyes and fucking stormshadow  snake is a TRUE white Ninja , not a bullshit copy like this crappy cast)

• @Mr. Sanders Fighting video games don't translate into successful movies, period. The games do their best to set up back stories for the fighters and ending stories when you win, but the rest (and majority of the game) is up to you and your button mashing skills. The gameplay experience of a fighting game isn't about the motivation of the character, they're unending hatred of his opponent, or even world domination, its about beating the crap out of your advesary. And in my opinion that is also the reason most fighting games suck in 1 player mode. My roommate and I could play SF:alpha 3 for hours and hours until our hands cramped up in arthritic pain and it was still fun as hell. One Player mode gives me about 30 minutes of descent challenges and then its all the same repetive shit over and over again. That is how I've felt about most fighting video game movies of the past 25 years, hell most fighting movies in general (read: all Jean Claude Van Damme movies) get trite and repetitive real quick.

• H-hey! Hey Rob! P.S.- YOU suck! ha-Hah! ZANG! Even though that animated Street Fighter movie is pretty incoherent (not completely! but it jumps around a bit, and the dialogue isn't good), it was so much fun to watch. The animated Tekken movie makes it seem like a masterpiece. Hopefully, Live-Action Tekken will use some Shoalin Soccer techniques to make it fun, and the whole Mishima Corp. storyline (if it ever made sense) will provide...well, not a Decent backdrop, but A backdrop.

• Well I'm not suprised they made this flick. After the overwhelming success of DB evolution and the blockbuster smash Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun Li of course they want to cash in. Me if there is no paul I'm hesitant. I will go with yoda on this when I say "Bear is no good. You must drink tequila gets you drunker."

• @Halfazedninja Damn, I guess him and Krillin are hanging out at the bar talking about their failed movie careers

• A Tekken...movie? Seriously?

• Oh cool! You know what would be cooler than a good Tekken movie though? No movie at all

• @ Funky: Speaking of Paul, apparently he's not going to be in the movie. Paul, a character that's been in the game since the beginning, is not going to be in the move. WTF is up with that?

• @Phil THATS NOT TRUE. People care about the stories. We care MORE about the fighting but lacking a good story is always going to hurt any fighting franchise.

• Tekken doesn't suck....Right ? It's got a great story and good fighting mechanics.

• I prefer BlazBlue, myself.

• Honestly Hollywood, stop it with the Video Game movies. I realize you want to squeeze another $12.50 from us, but instead of rehashing a game (and numerous sequels in this case)why don't you COME UP WITH SOMETHING NEW FOR FUCKS SAKE! And Tekken? Really? Nobody cares about the story in a fighting game, nobody gives two shits about motivation or character developement either. People want to see fighting, that's why you can skip over the movie scenes in games these days so you can get back to the fighting. Except in the new Punch Out which drives me fucking insane having to watch the intros a bazillion times in a row.

• unfilmable hair ? Between him and Paul that would be the only reason I watch the movie. Then again there are the Williams sisters.....yum

• The guy with the beard is Kazuya Mishima! And, for all of you worrying, Heiachi Mishima's hair is intact in the film adaption.
