I wish I could give this more than one thumb up. Yoshi and Cecil rule. After watching 100's of GoodBadFlicks it was nuts seeing Cecil talk about something in person.
Tekken (2011) A hero named Jin Kazama battles competitors to avenge his mother's death Hack-en (2024) A hero named Tony Piluso fights the censors to avenge the HTM fans
For those of us who grew up with second wave martial arts movies (from like 2000 - 2012) Lateef Crowder was a god amongst us when he debuted in Tom Yum Goong in his fight against Tony Jaa after Jaa became a celebrity from the film Ong Bak.
I feel like this was around the time where studios would straight up lie to actors about the budget and how wide a release it was going to be. Like they would tell them it’s going to have x amount of budget, and a wide release, then weeks before shooting begins, they tell them, oh the budget is now $30 million, and it’s not getting a wide release
Gary Daniels, who plays Bryan Fury, also played Ken in that Street Fighter scene from the Jackie Chan City Hunter film. Also, Lateef Crowder, who plays Eddie Gordo, is one of the doubles for Pedro Pascal in The Mandalorian.
tekken the motion picture is the anime tape movie I'd recommend the most but there was this cgi one that i watched blood vengeance that was also a good representation of the games. can't speak for the netflix series tho
Ehh, Tekken anime movie was kinda bad. They tried at first, but then the story ran off the rails towards the end. Also a bit too short. Overall the animations was decent though.
I will give credit to this version of the Tekken film that at least they tried to make it as close to the game as possible, except the took the spiritual part out of it.
There's a few things that I think are important to understand. 1: When this movie was coming out, a lot of us Die Hard Tekken fans were more confused than anything about the character choices. Yes, we'd rather have Panda than random ass characters like Dragonuv, Miguel, and Raven. They're newer characters (at the time of this film) and really aren't core to the Tekken lore. Like why would you have them but not King or Asuka or something? 2: It's sad this whole panel doesn't know any of these actors. This is actually a pretty star studded cast in the martial arts/stunt world which I think is the angle they took on purpose. Cung Le (Marshall Law) and Roger Huerta (Miguel) were active professional MMA fighters in the time of this movie. Luke Goss and Gary Daniels are both martial artists/stunt performers. Luke Goss is probably more known than anyone else for all his B-Movie action work. Lateef Crowder (Eddy) was huge in international Asian action cinema at this time coming off of the Thai film Tom Yum Goong where he had an epic fight scene. He also played Baraka in the concept Mortal Kombat short. He was who we wanted to play Eddy if there ever was a live adaptation and we got it. 3: So if the acting sucks at times, the director/producers went out of their way to hire real martial artists/stunt performers first, actors second. None of these guys are winning any awards. 4: While we didn't mind certain people being cast, we didn't understand the choice to not make them more true to the character. Like forgetting Cung Le is not Chinese like Marshall Law, he still looks nothing like Law. They also didn't really include any martial arts moves from Law's move set that makes Cung Le's fighting any different than say Miguel's. This was a big problem. In the film everyone is just hand to hand combatting, not bringing dynamic moves from the actual game. 5: Tekken is probably a bigger gaming franchise in terms of tournament play than Mortal Kombat and most other games.
Steve Fox is Nina Williams son, but as she was frozen between Tekken 2 and 3 she is still young while Steve is now nearly the same age as his Mother. In some versions her eggs were stolen while she was frozen so she doesn't know Steve was her son.
The story is Tekken, I don't really care. But I've been playing since Tekken 1, to current, and to me, its the BEST fighting game on the market due to the mechanics. It uses true left and right combinations (LP, RP, LK, RK) and that to me is awesome. Even with the stupid bounce mechanics in the later games, still to me the best fighting mechanics.
I'm reminded that I am of a different generation/demographic than Tony and friends because (1) when he talked about the familiar faces here I assumed one would be Tamlyn Tomita as the mother because I had a childhood crush on Kumiko from "Karate Kid II" (2) when they kept mentioning Sisqo I had to look up the reference because I thought "that guy doesn't look like Captain Sisko from Deep Space 9."
The sad thing is, this is probably the best Tekken adaptation. The Blood Vengeance movie the creator made was worse than this and the animated movie from the 90s was comedically bad. Maybe the netflix show is better...
Same company (Namco) did both so the designs can be similar. Soul Calibur uses swords/weapons, Tekken is mainly unarmed combat. Also, funny thing. In the first Soul Calibur (Soul Edge in the arcade, Soul Blade on American Playstation) you can actually turn off weapons so the characters had to use their fists....so basically turned into Tekken with different controls.
If that story about Kelly Overton putting her pants on backwards and them just rolling with it is true, that has got to be one of the best instances of "throw it in" in the history of cinema. Her booty is definitely the highlight of this movie.
The other Fighting game movie, Street Fighter: Chun Li? No, the other, other fighting game movie, DOA? No, another _other_ fighting game movie.... Wonder how many fighting game movies you could get through before someone remembers Tekken made one?
Disney Star Wars art isn't the issue. It's hiring people to work on Star Wars, that have never seen Star Wars. Never read Star Wars. Never played Star Wars in a video game setting. Never owned Star Wars toys, or music. I'll bet they weren't even gifted Star Wars Underoos as a child.
They are not even real people. They have no soul, consciousness or right to breed. Most of them are gay, nothing wrong with that but they're dishonest about it. They started saying they're gay cuz the opposite sex is finds them unattractive, but it's in their head they just have unrealistic expectations and blame people they deem beautiful to be the one's at fault, so they self destruct. A lot of gay people are really nice and friendly to outcasts, so they wiggle in there for social acceptance. I know, lot of distance for a skip and a hop, all they had to do was reflect and not be a dick to people or hate people for how they look. They had no interest in Star Wars but they knew other people did and instead of getting in on the lore or movies, they took the lazy way and saved the work for slithering into their unworthy positions cuz really they hated those people cuz they got along, they bonded, more people that "outcast" them. Which is false, they don't even know them, they didn't even give them a chance, they just saw something they weren't automatically a part of and hated it. These are empty people and we should pity them.......but they f*cked with the wrong Republic so they must not be spared. Hope you got a laugh out of that cuz my thumbs are tired now lol.
'why'd they name everything tekken?' - if corporations run everything, they probably own all possible trademarks, so Tekken was the only one not tekken

Fun fact: Yoshimitsu is a regular character in both Tekken and Soul Caliber, as both are Namco games
Actually he was a guest character in soul caliber 2 PS2 version.

😂😂😂 good joke bro! I like it cuz it's so funny but so true!
At long last, the legendary Tekken review finally fought its way through the RUclips censors
Flawless Victory

GAME!!!
2:29 sweet new guy is a Ft. Sill veteran
The guy that plays Eddie Goro is also a character in the Michael Jai White movie, Falcon Rising which is a damn good action movie
He was also baraka in mortal Kombat rebirth

Most of the guys were from the WMAC Masters show. The guy with the dreads mentioned was “the machine” and the other guys played scorpion and subzero.
The guy who played Brian Fury also played Ken in that awful Fist of the North Star Movie…
The guy with the dreadlocks that Liu Kang fought in the Mortal Kombat movie is Hakim The Machine from WMAC Masters!
OMG WMAC Masters! I'm the only one of my friends to know that show! Used to record it on VHS when it was on.
@AJ-me6zm I just got 2 WMAC Masters figures in the last couple of weeks, haha. I completely forgot that they made them. Such a fun 90s show
@@KrissNunez I never knew they made figures for that show. Makes sense though. Just about everything had a toy tie-in of some kind.
Field artillery hat. I dig it, was a fister when I was in.
Watched this video twice since it got taken down for copyright issues! Great work
Lateef that played Eddy also played Baraka in Mortal Kombat : Rebirth

Like they would tell them it’s going to have x amount of budget, and a wide release, then weeks before shooting begins, they tell them, oh the budget is now $30 million, and it’s not getting a wide release
I kept laughing out loud whenever they showed Jin’s picture because they chose the one picture of him getting his ass kicked.
And the whole video is not frozen due to copyright like transformers 1986 movie review thank god for that and Tony
There's also King Of Fighter's and Dead Or Alive Movies.
The KOF movie has some really bad CGI
The tournament is actually called king of the iron fist. The lore is ridiculous.
Speaking of back to the future when ya doin those
Teräs Käsi is finnish and means Steel Hand.
Nice, a fellow veteran Redleg!

I like how Tony would rather share a cell with Riley for dog abuse than admit hes doing a favor for his sister´
In the Fighting Game Community Tekken holds more weight than Mortal Kombat.
tekken the motion picture is the anime tape movie I'd recommend the most but there was this cgi one that i watched blood vengeance that was also a good representation of the games.
can't speak for the netflix series tho

19:16 Omg, that reminded me of the Hannibal Directive! 🤯🤦♂️
Welcome to the video store, Yoshi.
Tekken 5 The Devil Within on PS2 had Tekken 1-4 on the disc.
Did Stellar Blade steal the coin slot pants lol
I was more of a Virtua Fighter guy. I always used Shun the drunken style guy. I wish they would release a new one.
I will give credit to this version of the Tekken film that at least they tried to make it as close to the game as possible, except the took the spiritual part out of it.
Looking forward to hearing tour latest show Tony. I only wish Kieran were here to talk about this.
Dwight H. Little also directed a pretty great adaptation of "The Phantom of the Opera" with Robert Englund. Good stuff.
It's confirmed tony watches *corn* for the story 😂😂😂
Tony from Tekken may happen one day.
I used to have tekken parties 😂, right before the halo parties....good ol days

Hurrah!!
It's finally here!! Thank God! Also RUclips's copyright laws are bullshit and need to be changed!
@@kdusel1991 Its actually not RUclips, it is the studio's who sue RUclips for allowing people to monetize off of their properties.
To think anyone would think that you don't need to watch the movie you're helping review before hand is quite frankly mindblowing.
Tekken literally mean iron fist
Tekken about tapes!
Tekken is probably the biggest fighting game today
I bet the original cut had some goofy shit in it. that's why it was so expensive
Green lights. Everywhere
Please god I hope the bring up Killer Instinct

I love the tekken movie. Is it flawed, yes. But when i watch it. Im. Not taking it seriously. Take it for what it is.
Mortal Kombat is better
Tekken is better than mortal kombat and street fighter….. there I said it. (The games, not the movies.)
1000% agree
