well shit lol.
but what style is she? theirs 2 main forms of capoeira…the more true to the roots style thats grounded and the more bimba acrobatic style.
Christies style is more of that scrubby, mash buttons and she does some wild shit that you can’t do anything about because her body is in some hard to hit position. Little kids like to play with her and think they are cool because they can press the same button and do no less than 80 different dance moves while kicking my ass. It’s okay because after the win I just grab the controllers and put them somewhere really high where they can’t reach. Who’s the loser now fuckers.
Damn…I don’t know which part of that makes me more sad.
so im finally watching the movie.
-jin tried to do one of his lil three hits on miguel.
-anna and nina three some is jokes
-eddie gordo got jobbed out like a bitch
-lol@ everyone knowing jiu jitsu…i get it…its the hot thing now…stop shoving it in my face
-lol@ all these “safe houses” ,nigga kazuya google maps your shit.
-jin slutting it up while his g/f worries…lawl.
-steve fox just used a kick…and got shot for it. sounds about right.
-oh the mishima clan…and generations of daddy issues
-lol “heihachi mishima…is dead”
I laughed every time they said Tekken. Just felt so awkward, like they were promoting the game. I guess saying Mishima Zaibatsu sounds too weird to western ears. Mortal Kombat only said Mortal Kombat around twice throughout the entire movie but here they plugged Tekken about 80 times.
And the ending after the credits was very lulz worthy. Reminded me of the SF after credits ending. REPLAY WORLD DOMINATION.
not as akward as them all fucking up mishima. how do you mess that up? they say it a million times in the game.
Watching now. Horrible so far but laughable.
omg the ending…
christie: what are you gonna do now?
jin:time to go home
crowd: jin jin jin …rabbit?
NIGGA THIS ISNT 8 MILE!
Everybody was speaking Japanese For Dummies except Heihachi. Still, I’d have no problem giving all the cheese in the movie a pass if the fighting was more accurate.
Bitches can’t even say “Hey-hachi”. Hai-hachi…that’s what people in america said before the announcer provided the correct pronunciation…and they STILL fuck it up after all these years.
I thought it started off alright… but then it just started going downhill fast. I respected some of the stuff they were trying to do, but ultimately it kind of just fell flat. Also, I was confused as hell by the whole concept of what Tekken was and why everyone cared so much about it, but oh well. I don’t really know what the big deal was in the games either. Kinda random that Jin has a British accent, but I thought he fit well enough. I think the random weapon fighting killed it for me.
I wish Heihachi was more of a beast. Isn’t he supposed to be the strongest out of all the Mishima’s?
Heihachi
Spoiler
Did anyone else find it strange that it looked like Heihachi was going to be shot down execution style and then all of a sudden the building just explodes? I guess Kazuya has a habit of just blowing buildings up while his dudes are still in there.
The worst part about this movie is how straight they try and play everything. Everything is so damn serious and with no twist or even anything remotely interesting going on. It’s just plain boring other than the fact that a few b movie special effects are tacked on. Weak fighting, bad acting, and nothing cool to keep you watching whatsoever.
sigh I got a laugh out of it.
THIS IS IRON FIST
[details=Spoiler]
-Christie is a whore who’s only reason for wanting Jin is dick. And that’s our romance story. She completely ignores Eddy Gordo.
-They reference Tekken 5 and 6 “Heihachi Mishima is dead”/“Curse of the Mishima Bloodline” yet are horribly inaccurate. The Curse of the Mishima Bloodline is the thirst for vengeance.
-There isn’t a Tekken Force or Jack robots. There’s Jack Hammers who are shitty dudes with fencing mask guards and guns who get bodied by the fighters.
-Heihachi is a GOOD guy.
-Kazuya is an asshole but not the cocky cruel asshole from the game. He’s head of fucking security and works under Heihachi. Rapes Jun Kazama(never seen).
-It’s stated Raven does know ninjutsu but he never uses it. Nor are his weapons on him. He’s also like a neutered Blade.
-Jin is trained by Jun not Heihachi and apparently this is the most powerful martial art in the world.
-Tekken is a place where people live.
-Apparently there’s a problem with locking up the fighters because they are TEKKEN FIGHTERS.
-There isn’t a G Corp but 7 more places that are like Mishima Zaibatsu. Of course America gets jobbed and is taken over by Zaibatsu.
-Anna and Nina get along and are up for 3somes(fuck yeah, I wouldn’t turn that down).
-Fury is a boxer but at least they got him being a cyborg right.
-It becomes a bootleg Mortal Kombat after the Yoshimitsu vs Jin match.
-They got everyone’s costume correct to a degree but Kazuya’s since A)He never sports the purple suit and B)When he “fights” he’s in dress pants.
-Heihachi’s hair doesn’t go up back grows backward and downwards like ram horns.
-Jin has another woman on the side who wants dick and they show her AGAIN but it goes nowhere since they never meet again.
-The anvil as they call where Jin, Jun and the other poor people live, is so damn run down it costs Jin serious cash to get: An orange, a chocolate bar, and some coffee. No, I’m serious. Chocolate bar=Weed in this movie.
-The stages aren’t really stages but really a circular platform with a piece of stone thus “The Ancient Ruins”.
-Jin’s trademark gloves aren’t really his. He got them from who I think is supposed to be Steve Fox(who knows Jun) and are called POWER GLOVES.
-Jin’s pants are his “trademark” because everyone has a trademark outfit with trademark moves. What these moves are I cannot tell you because THEY ARE NEVER SEEN.
-Jin is after Heihachi because he thinks Hei is the reason his mother was killed not because Hei shot him in the head like in the game.[/details]
The story is pretty much Jun gets blown up, Jin wants to kill Hei and that’s it. There isn’t any real plot advancement. Crap just gets shoved down our throats. The other fighters are just there as fanservice guest starring Christie’s very likable ass cleavage. Everything is very anti-climatic.
Is it me or was the tackle punch the only thing they got right from Tekken?
Jin the peoples choice lives in Tekken city. <— wtf
This shit was beyond words.
Kazuya saying that sentence + Michael Bay explosion = :lol:
Also, dat Jin vs. Bryan ending.
What do you expect, [media=youtube]bXn-9L8a5lk"[/media]
Once I heard Kazuya say “I’d be honored, father,” I damn near threw up in my mouth. Kazuya’s a total bitch in this movie.
I mean, we’re talking about the guy that, after reminiscing, stabbed his grandfather in the throat with his HAND WHILE EVIL-SMILING.
spits
this movie seemed more like the anime version of kazuya.
