There's nothing that happens in this video of the first six minutes of Tekken: Blood Vengeance that makes any sense to me -- not the fighting, not the voice acting, and certainly not the "plot," such as it is -- but since the live-action Tekken movie is very possibly the worst videogame movie adaptation of all time, I'll put aside my normal Tekken hatred and let you Tekken fans enjoy this in peace. I will say, however, that I'm stunned and mildly bitter that Soul Calibur has never had a similar CG movie; I could ignore a lot of bad voice-acting if I could watch Taki and Ivy bouncing around (no pun). Oh, FYI, FFF is up next. Sorry for the mild delay. (Via Twitch)

So, is that first fight Nina vs Optimus Prime?
-
My little sisters made me take them to this the one night it played in theaters. It was hilariously bad, but we definitely enjoyed it. It becomes funnier the longer you watch.
-
As Armour of God showed, it's definitely possible fight in heels, it's just really not a good idea.
-
Knowing who the writer is, all the ridiculousness is intentional. My review of the film: http://rubikunsreviews.livejournal.com/tag/tekken%20blood%20vengeance
-
wait... why did optimus prime blow up in the chicken fight against a motorcycle? :/ CONFUSED.....
-
This would have been a hit back in 1994.
-
Dead or Alive actually gets a fairly bad rap. It's not a good film, mind. But it's a great bad film for those who like that sort of thing. Plus, it has a horrible plot, some mixed fighting, and lots of scantily clad women doing high kicks. That's about as true to the original source as you can get. XD

I would like to see a fight between chung li and kof. Fatality!
-
Dude, Hokuto No Ken! Kenshiro kicks Heihiachi, Kazuya and Jin's ass to the moon and back ONLY with his eyebrows.

No No No - THE worst video game movie ever is Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun-Li PERIOD - Irish M Bison - Ugly Vega - No Ryu - Chris Klein trying to out Nic Cage any performance by Nic Cage since Vampire's Kiss - CGI effects borrowed from Dragon Fail (DragonBall Evolution) The live action Tekken movie at least had - GOOD fight scenes - characters that you could tell by their outfits - inside jokes (bit about 30 sec bout between Law and Paul) - more than 1 hot chick - knew that the plot wouldn't work in real life so went to the extreme with a post apocalyptic world
-
Is this movie worse than the Dead or Alive movie?
-
A little bare on the big Titted, CGI Women fighting and the Guns but if you want giant Eyebrows the only option is "Hokuto No Ken" (accept no substitute).
-
That. never. HAPPENED! *Sticks fingers back in ears and starts making "La-la-la-la!" noises* Also, Tekken the movie's one saving grace was the hour-long Behind-the-scenes feature on the DVD. Movie itself was still pretty crap, but I can definitely appreciate the work and effort the fight/stunt teams put into it.
-
If you thought this was the worst video game movie ever you have never seen the King of Fighters live action movie.
-
On a side note, everytime an animation or movie based on a fighting game is released, everybody bitches aabout the story. Like if the games were written by Shakespeare.
-
Are you kidding me?!? * Big Titted, CGI women fighting. * Guns. Lots of Guns. * Eyebrows! * More Eyebrows! * Snap Screen! I'm so sold!
-
I saw it at the Sci-Fi London Oktoberfest. You didn't miss much but there's something to be said for watching such an utterly ridiculous film with a lareg group of people. There's a line "sometimes to succeed you have to fail" or something to that effect, which may have been the philosophy of the filmakers.
-
This is an odd film, and I will have to admit that the CGI doesn't seem particularly amazing. It may be wonderful to see in stills, which says a lot for the artists who created and colored the models, but the movement is strangely stiff. It seems to show in the combat sequences and, at least to me, was apparent with the rapid somersaults. As for the sound and voices, unfortunately, it seems like the story for the movie was forced to fit into Motoko Kusanagi's leather outfits and the American localization studio just shrugged their shoulders and cast the Ghost in the Shell actors, which is really awkward. I wouldn't have thought of Nina soundling like the Major, nor for Jin to have that voice. So it doesn't seem particularly amazing, though it might be nice to the same models show up in the games, I imagine both the XBox 360 and the PS3 can handle them.

Before going around saying that Tekken was the worst live action movie ever, you should consider in your opinion that Spoony from TheSpoonyExperement.com liked it. And that guy doesn't fucking like ANYTHING. He's the guy that said The Legend Of Zelda is shitty, Final Fantasy sucks (ok, I agree with that one), and that Deadliest Warrior is the worst show on television. And he says the Tekken Movie was fun, and tolerable. That's a pretty hefty stamp of approval, right there. ....Or at least as hefty of a stamp of approval can be, from a spiteful, curmudgeony ceaselessly negative, clinically depressed, whinging self-congratulatory, smugly arrogant video troll that stomps around having an unprofessional blubbering little pity-party over minor things like his girlfriend breaking up with him for being a co-dependent crybaby, anyway. ....But i'm jus' sayin'.

I hate Durarara. Sorry nothing more constructive or insightful to add I just feel the need to share my hate whenever Durarara is mentioned.
-
Oh wow... this movie slides right down to the bottom of the uncanny valley.
-
Listen, Rob: I don't care how amusing it is, or how much the fact that one of its co-stars is now the Chairman on Iron Chef, or the fact that Alyssa Milano got hot again after her giant-assed look in the movie... ... but I've seen Double Dragon. I know Double Dragon. And Tekken The Movie is no Double Dragon.
-
Are we ever going to stop with the high heels bullshit? I was okay with the terrible, terrible dialogue, and the cliche, pointlessly elaborate choreography. But do we really need the 110 lb girl flipping off of a motor cycle to be wearing high heels? Like stilettos? Is that really something that anyone actively WANTS to see in a fight scene?
-
Good graphics,but everything else is awful. We need Soulcalibur movie.With Voldo and that owl-headed guy.
-
This come out already?
-
So, the silver-haired biker girl at the beginning gets in a fight with OPTIMUS PRIME and wins? Mildly impressive.
-
These characters are the worst. I'm talking like early 90's Saturday morning cartoon bad. I'm surprised they dont air this between Land of the Lost and Xena.....christ.
-
I saw it when it played in theaters for one night. I loved the campiness of it. It was fun and ridiculous. And I can always make people laugh with this line from near the end. "The human race survived because a robot believed in us."
-
I'm not really sure what's going on but the animation is some of the best cgi I've seen in quite a while.
-
I saw the words "First 6 Goofy Ass" posted right about 2:30 est and thought Wow FFF this week is going to feature Disney and Anal sex! I think I'm broken.
-
Between Nina's all black bike outfit and Yellow bike and black haired office dwelling mastermind's I thought I was watching Durarara! Waiting for Paul Phoenix to throw a vending machine at someone.
-
Flying like Spiderman, shiny indestructable one piece, clearly the plan wasn't 'shoot if she moves' But as long as they cast a good Seung Mina I'm all good.
-
To be honest, this looks awesomely ridiculous. It looks like the type of terrible movie I love to watch.
-
I don't know about anyone else but I feel kind of like punching someone now. And I don't mean because its got me so excited I want to do some action fighting of my own. I mean like that was so terrible I want to punch things now to take out my frustration about how terrible that was it makes me angry I am going to go find someone to punch.
-
They actually premiered this in the West right here in the UK, just a month ago. Looks like I didn't miss much by not seeing it.

... Angelina Jolie for Ivy. :D
