Games / Film Now THIS Is The Tekken Movie I Wanted To See
Posted by Earnest "Nex" Cavalli on Thu, Jul 28, 2011 at 1:15 PM
A few weeks ago I reviewed the live-action adaptation of Namco Bandai's Tekken, a fighting game that pits genetically modified, boxing velociraptors against petite Chinese school girls.
Fortunately, there's another Tekken film currently playing in a handful of theaters around the US. Odds are solid you won't ever get to see it on the big screen, but a Blu-Ray home release should be appearing some time in December, complete with a PlayStation 3-compatible demo for Tekken Tag Tournament 2 and an HD remake of the original Tekken Tag Tournament.
But why would you possibly want to risk your hard-earned scratch on another Tekken movie? Because in this one, the fights are done correctly:
