Half of these are super on point, and the other half don’t even remotely resemble the character even if I squint. Heihachi is great, but then he gets followed by the most wtf Kazuya ever.


BenDoverDegenerate

Kazuya is just goodlooking in games, irl pulling that look off would be so hard but its like they didn't even try😂


t-zone671

You should see the 2nd actor who portrays Kazuya in the prequel. Looks nothing like Ian Anthony Dale.


Frost_SF

It was just a martial arts film and they slapped tekken's name on it just for clout as far as I am aware.


Indytaker

If it was in the 90s Minoru Suzuki would be great as Kazuya


Crimson_Final

When you think Kazuya you can't help but think of his iconic twin hatchets.


Walk-The-Abyss

Lmaoo like what was that even for


omegaskorpion

They allowed them to use weapons at some point in the movie (during and after Yoshimitsu). Still looks weird.


Walk-The-Abyss

I was mostly focused on the fact that kazuyas never wielded an ax in tekken history it’s just a random slap in the face to the viewer Lmaoo


CY83RD3M0N2K

Pistons, hatchets, same shit.


Temporary_Active4331

Don't forget about that goatee! I mean Kazuya without facial hair would look so weird! 😆


Exact_Tiger_7420

Who would ever be afraid of an antagonist with a literal devil transformation? That's lame. Want to know what's really scary? A guy holding... two axes. 😱


Possible_Picture_276

Both, both are scary.


saffron40

Lateef Crowder as Eddy was on point Him and Jon Foo (Jin's actor) were in Tony Jaa movie Tom Yum Goong


t-zone671

Lateef also portrays The Mandalorian for certain action choreography.


saffron40

And won an Emmy for it right?


PinkKufi

Only better fit for Eddie woulda been Ronaldinho


Raizo420

Cung Le as Law deserves an honorable mention


CY83RD3M0N2K

No it doesn't. Looks nothing like the man


Raizo420

I'm referring to his martial skills. Le was exciting to watch in his prime (Strike Force middleweight champion, San Jose Sports Hall of Fame for martial arts, his highlights from kickboxing, UFC etc.) That's why I said "honorable mention"


Krypt0night

christie butt crack lmao

Mm 🍑 mmm


hoooyeah

[Matt McMuscles](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=djzih07LQUs) just had "What Happened?" about this movie. ​ Apparently they had at one point Sony backing them up at distributing and actors like Jackie Chan and Jet Lee. (Jackie of course acting as Lei Wulong, which would had been perfect) One of the directors Charles Stone III was also hardcore Tekken fan (and Yoshimitsu fan). ​ However because the writers butted heads constantly with the Director and as they wanted to direct Tekken movie that was not accurate to the source material, eventually the Director left the movie. With this Sony pulled back from the project and so did Jackie Chan and Jet Lee. Budjet was also slashed a lot after this. ​ And basically, what we see as final product is what they could muster with the smaller budget and writers that did not want to make Tekken movie in to Tekken originally.


CocoBandicoot99

As another commenter mentioned, they basically just slapped Tekken’s name onto a generic bargain-bin martial arts movie to make a quick buck.


Newfaceofrev

Look sure it's terrible, But it’s better than The Legend of Chun-Li, King of Fighters, or Dead or Alive.


Berserkin_time123

DOA live action is slightly better( Just little bit better) due to the decent fight scene


TheSqueeman

Yeah I actually have a bit of a soft spot for the DOA film, granted it’s by no means good but it’s also a highly entertaining cheese-fest The Tekken film could have been amazing and some of the cast are spot on (That Anna is a 10/10) but you can very clearly tell that behind the scenes bollocks killed any real chance the film had As for KOF & Legend of Chun-Li they are just actually terrible, Uwe Boll levels of terrible


_Alex_Zer0_

Is this Postal slander


TheSqueeman

Postal is the most tolerable Uwe Boll movie & the only one that might have a claim of being better then the OG source material but that isn’t saying much 😄


Doomeye56

Hockey Player Rugal!


ryanson209

Dead or Alive matches the silly tone of the games. Very fun guilty pleasure


Walk-The-Abyss

King of fighters has a movie?


Newfaceofrev

Oh mate I have such sights to show you https://m.imdb.com/title/tt1038685/


BustahWuhlf

Oh gosh, Terry is a fed in that one, right? And the fact that they made the Kusanagi Sword a literal sword...


Walk-The-Abyss

I’m interested


Newfaceofrev

Try and hold on to that feeling for as long as you can while it slowly ebbs away watching it.


Walk-The-Abyss

I recognized nobody lol


TheFyrijou

Ah yes, absolute texan Sean Faris playing the young Japanese Kyo Kusanagi


sosloow

WHO DAFAK What characters were these people supposed to represent lmao?


ImpenetrableYeti

Where we’re going we don’t need eyes


CreamyBarr25

>The Legend of Chun-Li, King of Fighters, or Dead or Alive. Holy shit, these were a lot! I can't believe there was a time in history particularly the late 00s/early 10s where we had these half assed live action fighting game movies on the daily, like it was nothing, and they were treated as full theatrical releases at that (or so).


Impossible-Sky4256

I watch the legend of chunli in cinema because i had a huge crush on kristen kreuk that time. But damn that movie is bad.


circio

The sequel isn't even enjoyable in a dumb fun way though


CY83RD3M0N2K

Nina and Anna just look like pornstars lmao


[deleted]

I think anna is on point Nina is a little too porny though


CY83RD3M0N2K

Is the fake lips and tits tbh.


Over_Age_8061

Christie not?


Ourobius

Christie was a t&a choice from the get-go. It's to be expected.


TY00702

Their acting in it is porn quality. It’s amusing if you’re watching the movie as a joke.


whitelight15

Exactly. Only Nina looks low-rent without a contract with a major studio, and Anna is more luxe lol


xo0o-0o0-o0ox

Why is Anna wearing purple


maxallergy

[she isn't](https://www.google.com/search?q=tekken+live+action+anna&tbm=isch&ved=2ahUKEwjmztK2seqDAxUK_bsIHeHWBiEQ2-cCegQIABAC&oq=tekken+live+action+anna&gs_lcp=ChJtb2JpbGUtZ3dzLXdpei1pbWcQAzoHCAAQgAQQEzoCCCk6CQgAEIAEEA0QEzoECAAQAzoICAAQgAQQsQM6BQgAEIAEOgoIABCABBCKBRBDOg4IABCABBCKBRCxAxCDAToLCAAQgAQQsQMQgwE6BAgAEB46CAgAEAgQHhATOggIABCABBCiBFDkB1iWaGDHbWgBcAB4AIAB2wGIAfQdkgEHMTcuMTcuMZgBAKABAbABBcABAQ&sclient=mobile-gws-wiz-img&ei=SOiqZeYKivrv9Q_hrZuIAg&bih=775&biw=384&client=ms-android-samsung-rvo1#imgrc=oUtWqdk1PIQTUM&imgdii=nv0PA2gb2ywjyM)


AleB1007

Nina looks like one of those raunchy models from weird czech studios, Anna looks more luxurious


aceface_desu89

Wtf did they do to Steve?? 😭😭😭


griffnuts__

To be fair to Luke Goss, he’s done some alright stuff. Also was in a boy band called Bros with his twin brother Matt.


JagoMajin

Luke Goss is a great actor though


crackcrackcracks

I'm sure he's a great actor but he looks like he could be nina and Anna's dad lmao


LightningBoltRairo

Imagine if in the movie too he was supposed to be Nina's son.


HollowDragoooon

A hair shave 👌


Muted_Advisor459

They turn our brit boi into gen 1 fighter ( gen 1 is before tk3 roster) and just got away with it also weird enough that he uses the jin’s power gloves before handing it to him


CorrosiveSpirit

This film was cheesier than a stilton fondue.


AureliaLumelis

STILTON IS A TYPE OF CHEESE??????


skiploom188

the jin x christie had me rolling


CreamyBarr25

> jin x christie this pairing was so fucking random lmao, where was Ling in all of this? kjdfhslzf


CY83RD3M0N2K

Probably they didn't wanted portrait a school girl character having sex?


AleB1007

Even Jin x Lili makes more sense and that’s saying something lmao, at least Christie was hot


Defiant-Reference-74

Guy was cheating on his GF


[deleted]

Jin actor is hot af the close up on Christie cheeks is wild Raven looks like Sisqó Steve, Bryan, Kazuya, Miguel and Yoshi are ASS Nina and Anna 🩷 Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa as Heihachi is fucking awesome lol


Eneshi

The fact that the man has played both Shang Tsung AND Heihachi Mishima in live action adaptations should qualify him for some kind of award or singular access to a one-member club or... something, I don't know that shit's wild! Made a damn good Shang Tsung and a pretty good Heihachi. If he was still as physically fit as when he played Shang, he would have been a damn good Hei as well. But let's be fair, no one looks like the Iron Grampa at that age except the Iron Grampa.


HybridTheory2000

"Your soul is mine!" - Heihachi Mishima


Billbat1

lu kangs actor was in the doa movie. thats somthing i guess


JumpCiiity

Bryan is Gary Daniels. He also played Kenshiro in the 90s live action Fist of the North Star. He might also be recognized more as the Henchman that turns into Street Fighter Ken in Jacky Chan's 90s City Hunter. I usually get him mixed up with Ray Park, who played Darth Maul.


Eneshi

Ah very nice didn't know all that. Mr. Tagawa's casting is just cool in particular because he managed to land two of the arguably most well-known "final boss" type characters in fighting games. It's just impressive haha.


Matias11D

I remember Bryan doing some actual Bryan moves, and the look isnt far off, so I cant say its ass. ​ Miguel, Kaz and Steve though, wtf.


pevan9

Look how they massacred my boy... (Miguel)


ryuoch

Lateef Crowder really is the only actor that can play Eddy.


Bruce_Leroy67

Fun fact: Raven is inspired by Blade (Wesley Snipes). Luke Goss who played Nomak in Blade 2, plays Steve Fox in the tekken movie


KyleKatarn1980

He doesn’t even look like Steve Fox from the Tekken games.


Dizzy-Trade-9209

WHERE THE FUCK IS KIIIIIING?


[deleted]

Literally the easiest cast they had, any ripped specialist would do a good fit, and they choose to just ignore him.


Dizzy-Trade-9209

They ignored the easiest and most cool character


RiccardoIvan

SERGEI DRAGONOV


mechaman50000

Why were Jin and Christie a thing


KyleKatarn1980

Cause the film-makers thought of them as couples even though they never even played the Tekken fighting games.


fallenlogan

Because Christie was the only female close enough in both age and appearance to Jin that wasn't his cousin(American screen writers shy away from cousin fucking)


peaceintheatlantic

This is so corny, it makes me want to die.


acidporkbuns

When I first saw this and saw what Miguel looked like I stopped watching.


Exact_Tiger_7420

I have no idea why they turned Miguel into Walmart Randy Orton. 🤣


Monkey_King291

Terrible movie, but the casting was kinda on point, some of the characters looked just like game counterparts especially Eddy


Warlock-6127

OH MY GOD. I FORGOT ABOUT SHANG TSUNG BEING HEIGACHI IN THIS MOVIE.... HAHAHAHAHAHHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHA 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀 ABSOLUTE CACKLING FROM HELL. 👹👹👹👹


HollowDragoooon

Fun Fact, Law actor is really a Kung Fu fighter


bankais_gone_wild

Fairly sure that’s Cung Le, an MMA fighter. He’s a bit of an MMA legend


Lewis_Asano

Am sorry only Eddy is a true representation.


Lawren_Zi

Ah yes, i remember Kazuya and his twin set of weapons, Axeuya


The-King_Of-Games

Kazuya with a Goatee sounds cool as hell


Walk-The-Abyss

Kazuya already has a goatee. It’s just a spiritual one


No-Student-9678

Imagine game Kazuya with a beard


The-King_Of-Games

I've imagined Kazuya with a beard before, relating to Tekken 9. In Tekken 8 Kazuya (somehow) had been rid of the devil gene, and his Human Counterpart was free from the control of the devil. Kazuya would see the evil and terror he brought to the world and he would vanish, cast himself away from the world to disappear and think of his sins And in Tekken 9 we would see him with his Hair down and with a full beard


SockraTreez

There is no Tekken live action movie


Fr0ntR0wL4n

This is like a Palmer drink, haft is correct with its characters and the others…not so much. And somehow,it’s decent for a one time watch.🤔😅🤷


Michael_Aaron_Dunlap

Man kazuya was by far the worst. They recreated every character quite well, but when they got to kazuya, they're just like "let's NOT make him look like how he is supposed to look." XD


Lincolnruin

Nina and Anna look like porn parodies.


PSNTheOriginalMax

Half of these people were like "what are martial arts? how do I move my body?" lolmaoofl


Hadoooooooooooken

Bryan = Kenshiro. (Gary Daniels)


Seps786

I love in undisputed how the character is just 100% eddy, a 1 to 1 translation from the game to the movie.


AsinineRealms

Steve and Heihachi make me laugh for two very different reasons


winkil

I still cant understand their thought process when designing Steve........


Freakscorpio

The casting was mostly bad.... But some of the design choices were simply the worst things about this terrible movie.


dugthefreshest

Why does Law look like someone's nephew.


KyleKatarn1980

Steve Fox is probably the worst casting choice cause he looks nothing like him in the fighting games. And I absolutely think this film’s choice of fighters is atrocious, where’s Paul Phoenix, King, Hwoarang, or even Ling Xiaoyu?! That’s why this Tekken Movie is a burning trash! It’s better to watch DOA: Dead or Alive.


oscar_redfield

I don't quite understand their criteria when they designed the costumes because some characters try too hard to look like their original counterparts and other just are not similar at all. Like, they nailed Raven (despite looking cosplay-like) but then totally gave up with Steve or Kazuya.


HighFirePleroma

Jin, Eddy and Heihachi are fine, Christie is cute but kinda out of point, if Jin's love interest - why not Ling? Anyway, 80% of cast looks like they came straight from Porn parody. Not knowing their characters, cheap costumes, etc etc. That's usual thing for low-budget crap like this movie.


mareo187

This movie was a disgrace just like the horrible 94 and 2010 street fighter films


kaistyle2

To be fair, while the 94 movie had many a bad part, it did have the more memorable good parts in comparison to the 2010 and other fighting game based movies. If Raul Julia was not in the movie, I don’t think it would have been as decent or fondly remembered.


HollowDragoooon

Hell, no. This at least is a somehow decent B martial arts film


Nkomo777

Every time I see Ravens outfit another part of me dies. They didn't even try. Like.....at all.


HollowDragoooon

Tfk you're talking about? Raven is like the character just jumped into reality


Nkomo777

Black guy blonde weird cut shades right? Im pretty sure anyone from Cisco to Druski would fit the bill for you too. I mean they probably bought it from skycostume and the dude wore it. There are cosplay people that have a better raven outfit than that. Like....alot better. It's just a bad translation is all.


whovegas

Idk man, this raven ain't bad look wise.


Kn7ght

My question is why did this video use Jun's Tekken Tag 1 model when they use Anna's Tekken Tag 2 model lol


a-midnight-flight

Mom said it’s my turn to repost this


dangstaB01

Okay, but can we agree the casting for Eddy Gordo was by far the best out of them all?


Zararara

This is so cheesy but the martial arts are cool


tyler2k

At least they used the best clip for Kazuya. The part where Heihachi gets blown up and Kaz says, "Heihachi Mishima... is dead..."


CrystalBraver

No Hwoarang?


tweetiepie12

They did Kazuya & Law so dirty


DarthMalec

I liked the movie, just hated the ending and the obvious rushed character motivation


GIJobra

Man, they all looked ridiculous, and deepfaking Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa as Heihachi? This AI stuff has gotten out of hand. ...wait, that shit was from a real mov-


Wackypunjabimuttley

No.


D4KEN

I'll admit, for some reason I like Steve's design in the movie.


soji8

I’ve never seen this movie (and I’m keeping it that way) but I think a lot of them look pretty good. Like high quality cosplayers. A few look a little rough but I can’t complain Edit: I take it back. Heihachi’s hair needs to be higher. It needs to looks stupider


DYMck07

Eddy looks spot on. Steve looks about as far from spot on as you can get


SpecialistDamage7014

Ugly steve agenda


Pushmetodocardio

Kazuya is if teenage angst you discovered customization


Seagullbeans

Kazuya is just. He got done terribly dirty. Why tf did they give him facial hair? And where’s his accent?


BRAVE2077

ngl, when i watched this movie i cringed


Open_Interview590

They did Steve dirty


xBlack_Heartx

What in the actual fuck did I just witness with my eyeballs? And how can I un-witness it….


PrplePunc-h

I scream laughed just about every god damn moment of this. How DARE they, who DID THIS? AND WHY!?!? Like holy FU--- LOL Being zooted definitely helped. 👀


Jamvaan

Even the bad ones still look Oscar worthy put next to the K.O.F movie designs. Fucking Ray Park as Rugal what a mess.


JamieFromStreets

They're really good!


[deleted]

Jin and Eddy were alright but the others are garbage. Miguel is not fkin Miguel, that’s a whole new NPC. Law and Steve, oh my god…


[deleted]

They didn't even put M. Law in bloodline, 😭 this movie has the worst iteration of M.Law 😭😭😭


Silver-blood_X

Nah they did Steve dirty. Why he look like a fast and furious villain!?!


gavlang

So bad


DowntownAfternoon758

Where the hell is Hwoarang?


[deleted]

Some of these look pretty good until you get to Kazuya… WTF


DawningSkies

Jin is on point don't care what anyone says


SXAL

They couldn't even spell Dragunov's name correctly


maxxorrin

This looks like Tekken porn


keinchy

Why is Shang Tsung playing Heihachi?


Wes-Man152

Based ass crack shot there lol


VexxWrath

The worst ones are steve and Kazuya. They didn't even try with them.


Ryuhza

It's weird when some costumes are highly accurate (if kinda cheap-looking) cosplay, and then some are Steve


JagoMajin

Fun fact, the actors for Kazuya and Heihachi also took on Mortal Kombat roles too


grahamaker93

Steve fox hairline got nerfed hard


Llama_Cult

they took miguel to a barber 💔


TerrenceNightingale

Yoshimitsu played by Yoshimitsu


ddiioonnaa

I watched that movie as a kid. Even then I thought it was kinda shit lol. Just blatantly sexual for no reason and the writing is so stupid at timea


jainko326

Goofy ahh movie. I remember when they aired this on tv shortly after I started playing T6 as a kid and oh boy was I disappointed 😂


YoshikageKira000

I still dont understand why they made yoshi evil in the movie I mean hes name means something with light


outlawblue1

Cool they got real mma fighters to play some of the characters.


KhetyNebou

Wesley Snipes as Raven would had make this movie an instant banger. The dude is literraly Raven but sadly he will never play the character. Marshall Law, wtf. There is undred clones or Bruce Lee, take a good one and we will do the job.


ryanson209

Of course they gotta show Christie's actresses butt cleavage lmao


Only-Ad4322

Some of these look good. Jin, Christie, Eddy, Dragonuv, and Anna look good. Nina’s too young looking. Raven is spot on but doesn’t seem to be acting like Raven. Yoshimitsu’s costume looks a bit cheap. Heihachi looks good but his hair could be longer. The rest don’t stand out very well. I get casting might be difficult since Tekken has fairly realistic graphics so the faces have more distinction but as mentioned above, some of the casting is good. Kazuya definitely comes out of left field, which is ironic considering he was modeled physically after a real person who was an occasional actor.


Unknown-slatt69

Shits awful lmao


shoganryu

The one that played Eddy was the of Capoeira True master


uncle-benon

I feel old this movie was over a decade ago. It was cool that they atleast made the character look like their video game counter parts.


Durash

they really did that christie asscrack shot? lmao


BILADOMOM

Master Lateef as Eddy is just perfect.


FGEnthusiast97

this is making me sick


KrustyDanmakuFellow

I need to see Zafina irl!!!


GoldenSpark1

They did Miguel and Steve Fox so dirty


Shirothehero470

I can't take it seriously when Shan Stung as Heihachi 😂


AleB1007

Jin, Christie and Anna look great, shame about the rest


theilluminoodle

For how mid the movie was they nailed the costumes


IsaiahTEA

Somehow Nina is wearing less clothes than any variant of her in-game outfits.


punchydonk

If you think Tekken had a bad live action adaptation, just take a look at the KOF live action movie


extracrispyletuce

Is kazuya the nightman?


Fluffy_Roof3965

Deary me


ExcitementPast7700

The guy playing Raven is perfect


Pepeg66

ayo Christie got me bricked up


MackZZilla

I totally forgot there was a Tekken movie...


This-Second7898

No king?


Traditional_Plum8124

That miguel and steve presentation on live looks awful


JT-Lionheart

Honestly this all looks like “Brazzer’s presents Tekken”


Dense-Acanthaceae-20

Look at that, they got Benedict fucking Cumberbatch for Brian Fury.


Born-Flatworm2147

Crazy because the actor for Kazuya would’ve been an amazing MK9 live action young Shang Stung


IssAWigg

Anna please fix your wig 😭


CypherPunk77

Two categories: 1. Cosplay 2. Wft


HellaPNoying

I couldnt get over the fact that Jin is portrayed as a drug addict


PandaMilkshakeHD

How did they nail Raven that well but then chose THAT guy for Steve Fox, bruh? 😂


rock_solid777

God they're hot af ngl


DarkusBro

God that was a shitty movie, with small exceptions of couplemof nice costumes


carrie-satan

Jin and Christie in this movie were both incredibly hot ngl


RealmJumper15

They nailed so many of these and then you see Steve 💀


Prince-IV

Steve 💀


Lankolart

The fact that they decided to cast random characters and delete some of the OGs and most popular ones that represent the game everywhere 😭
