Why do we get the feeling this movie is probably going to suck? Oh, I know, maybe because the first released images of the Tekken film look anything but promising.
According to IMDB.com, MMA star Cung Le has been casted to play Tekken veteran Marshall Law. The first image of him in costume has been posted on his myspace page, which you can view below. Also, additional images have been released by Tekken Corp, including the first look at Jin Kazama. You can view the entire gallery here.
Cung Le as Marshall Law
Jonathan Foo as Jin Kazama

First post :P is it me or this movie gets a bit interesting from here , weird from here, chinese thingy from here
why do all tounament based movies suck? streetfighter, mk (well mk 1 was good), and doa i think there was a few more but cant think of them now they are gonna degrade tekken? and than soul calibur? why why!!!!!
That just seriously put me off the movie
Wa, wa, wa, wa, wait . Hold up. Is this gonna be a big theatrical movie release? Cause from the looks of this, a straight-to-DVD (or other optical media) movie is in production. I can't imagin a "big screen" Tekken movie with real people. It's just not working. To me, it feels like making a DBZ (my favorite anime [or cartoon or what ever you want to call it] of all time) live action movie. It's just not gonna work. Period.
there is a tekken movie now? ahhh c'mon i'm sure they're great but Cung le aint no bruce lee !! ya morta kombat was good! i was a kid when i watched but i really liked it.
Yea this does look pretty sucky and it could have been really good. The key is getting convincing actors to play the characters; Angenlina Jolie was great as Lara Croft, but Van damn sucked as Guile. These actors also look like they will suck.
I think it's time for Mortal KOmbat 3 put Spielberg and Lucas on it and we will see a good movie :) dreams dreams..........
movie looks sucks MK movie way better :P
street fighter the animated one is a good movie based on a video game
Haha haha hahaha hahahahahaha heheh !!
I'm sure it will be terrible
Chances are, the movie will be bad...as per-usual.
And I can't help thinking that the actors above are playing the other guy's role. I mean the guy playing Lee looks more as if he should be playing Jin & vice-versa.
The worst thing about these martial arts games turn movies is that they either get good actors who cannot display martial arts to save their lives, or they get martial artists that cannot act to save their lives. Mortal Kombat was the best to date, but even then it was far from "Flawless Victory", and I mainly point at Sonja and the script.
It will be a rare movie based on a game where they actually get the people who can use martial arts & act...so I won't be getting any hopes up over this. And thats not even counting the script.
Lol.
The animated tekken movie was not great, the two SF Manga titles were much better. This will probably be average along with the new live action SF film... DOA was pretty crap...
@ G.O.G. They are making a live DBZ movie... also theatrical... I might want to see them both, I have nothing against movie adaptions! I'm probably also going to see the Warcraft movie (the story in that universe is actually really cool)
Looks very awful!!!
Who's the director?
psn id: gingo.... oh yes this is certainly going to suck, never thought the tekken film would be amazing anyway and this has confirmed it wont be
release the latest tekken on PS3 already, stop wasting time on this rubbish, tekken is meant to be played not watched
Say all that to Cung Le's face. He'll kick you in your chest and break your spine.
I'm such a big fan of Cung, but he needs to stick to kicking people.
that looks a bit cheap and low budgeted or maybe its just the photo but i'll still watch jus to see the story and characters that are in it
as long as it doesn't suck as much as DOA... I really want this to be good, because I'm a huge fan.
I want to see some REAL TEKKEN MOVES. Not no stupid practiced karate routine. I want to see some Matrix stuff. Show me some air juggles, not silly slapping and dancing around. If done right, this movie has slight potential to turn out ok, but that's IF they do it right. I guess we'll have to wait and see...
Triple Dk, ur kidding right, and on what planet are they going to film this DBZ movie? Namek. HA!! Take that people who are willing to degrade the best anime in history. You are all wasting your time. IT'S IMPOSSIBLE!!!!!! Sorry, but I had to vent on those who are going to take part whatsoever in making this movie, if it's actully made. But seriously, no matter how advance technology gets or becomes a live action DBZ movie can never, never, ever live up to the (japanese or english) animated series. EVER!!!! If they really make this "movie" don't go and watch it. Just don't....you'll (most likely) be really disappointed. Especially if your a truly deicated fan like myself. Don't support the shenanigans. It's all propaganda!! You should just wait until it airs on television, if they decide to show it on TV. But then again, one man's trash is another man's treasure.
Stickemup, yeah I respect Cung Le as an EliteXC combatant but he needs to stay away from acting. Hey, but you never know. He might increase his fanbase.
Oooo, man, I just had the craziest thought, Kimbo Slice as Craig Marduk (Yeah, I know thats like four movies later, though it's not going to make it that far!).
Jin Kazama looks weak in that pic, he is much bigger in the game.
W.e I just hope this movie manages at a least a 70% on Rotten Tomatoes.
i've been hearing things about a tekken movie for the past 8 years now.....these actors are not what i have invisioned. cung le looks as far from bruce lee as any other asian.
Why, just whYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!????????
Probably the equivalent of the Mortal Combat and Street Fighter movies... meaning not worth watching.
i doubt this is the real movie... this looks way too shietty.
Speechless. Hahaha, wow this movie is gonna be suckage. They should've made it at least cel-shaded or Pixar like. That wouldve been slightly better. Anyways, can't wait for the game though!
