Tekken 2: Hollywood Still Doesn't Get It - The Movie

General Discussion

Word. Unfortunately there is no hollywood lane for it. Martial arts is dead to hollywood for any budget over like 2 million, which is why nothing about the movie will be quality except hopefully the fight scenes, which still are fucking shit.

Tekken is perfect for a cgi movie, and they tried that, it sucked. Was it better then the live action? Yeah, but so much better that someone couldnt argue against that opinion? No. Crazy shit is, the first tekken movie had a fucking 30 million dollar budget. HOOOOOOWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW??? Fucking, the first Underworld movie had a budget almost 10 million less then that, and was considerably better by like 5 fold, and even had better cgi and actors. Who knows who even bothered to invest into the first tekken movie, or why. Probably just some money laundering scheme.

I think one of the hardest things about tekken live action, is that the women and men are such strong characters emotionally, and physically, that its basically impossible to fill those shoes in modern hollywood, and any of hollywoods global counterparts. The aged of swoled up actors is pretty much gone unless you are playing a super hero of sorts, or an extra. Like, you would have to go out of your way to find a swoled up asian man to play kazuya, who can actually act too. Most of the female roles can be filled, but even then i doubt in their ability to find actresses who would actually fit their role, like how we got skinny fast and the furious bitch as wonder woman.

I’m rambling, but yeah, just give me a better cgi movie, and im fine. Why tekken blood vengence was so bad/boring is beyond me. I have no idea why its too hard to just make a fucking cgi tekken movie. Its basically just bloodsport. lol

I would say the cgi is better for the nina vs anna scene, and the pre devil jin vs kaz vs hei scene, because they went through like the entire mishima move list in that scene, and the devil jin and devil kaz shit was really a beautiful sight. Everything else about the movie though, oh lawd, snore fest.

A 6 episode ova series for tekken would be perfect imo. I dont know why things are done the way they are, and why certain investors, invest, because a lot of times its clearly not to make money, and probably just some mafia or cartel trying to do some money laundering. Like, the first tekken movie couldnt have had a true 30 million dollar budget. Just look at it. If 30 million did come into that movie, it definitely wasnt for production, and damn sure not for the actors.

All you need is humans turning into powerful awesome demons, martial arts, hot women, angels, and ninjas. Thats all anyone needs to take from tekken to make an awesome mid budget action movie of quality.

Mother of god…

24

I can’t watch the trailer without thinking of Epic Meal Time because of the music. :lol:

25

Jun hated her race so much, she got the Lil Kim treatment and turned white.

Whites > Asians confirmed?

26

lol didn’t even know that there was a first one.

27

Hey guys let’s have another Tekken movie where half the cast does nothing and the only real players show up in the last fifteen minutes for a fight.

Let’s put Panda on the DVD case cover too. That’s the hot shit, right?

Such taste.

28

The same way they fucked up the second Mortal Kombat movie: Hollywood’s cereal supply being replaced by paint chips.

29

sigh well my friend is head stunt coordinator on the movie…so in the very least…the stunts should be good.

30

no god please no
:’((((((((((((((((((

31

Those fights looked like shit, poorly shot and not hiding anything except the shit you want to see.

Whoever was involved with this trailer should be fired. The Announcer, his dialogue, and the scenes shown were so fucking terrible and boring. I was just waiting to see if King popped up but nah.

I feel bad for mustache dude boss, he was great in Snatch. Since then he’s been in an M&M’s commercial and this abomination playing the same damn character.

32

I shoulda just made my first reply this gif

33

At least trim the fat and focus on the Mishima family as what they really are. Supremely dysfunctional.

34

Better see this expression + zoom in at the end of the movie after he throws his dad off a cliff.

Then all you have is an episode of Everybody loves Raymond, where Frank throws Ray in a volcano.

36

At least we have Tekken 7. Heihachi and Kazuya going to toss each other in a volcano at the same time. I swear they have each been tossed in every active Volcano worldwide by this point. Hell I think Kazuya called him out on a Volcano in the trailer. :rofl:

37

This obviously needs to be the ending to the movie.

38

Why is someone even using real world logic to make Tekken seem like a bad movie is beyond me.

39

Personally, the writing team of General Hospital would be better suited to writing a Tekken movie.

Same synopsis, really. :coffee:

this looks so low budget and last minute it must be fake. this kazuya opens with a move so old and stupid none of the characters in the game does let alone it resembling anything a mishima would do

and stfu to anyone trying to turn the first tekken movie into street fighter the movie level of appreciation, just close the fuck up with that hipster shit
