YOU GOT MMA IN MY MOVIES AGAIN
01.15.10This is the trailer for Tekken, based on the video game, from the director of Halloween 4 and Anacondas, and the writer of Spawn and The Marine. With that kind of introduction, I might as well stab it with a syringe full of AIDS. If you’re an MMA fan, you know that’s Roger Huerta shouting “This is Iron Fist!” at the beginning like a Mexican Sean Faris. Then Cung Le shows up to show us the acting chops he developed while spending a year away from the sport and retroactively making me happy that he got his nose smashed by Scott Smith in the final minute of his last fight.
The movie’s pretty much what you’d expect. I just wish they’d cast Chris Klein to reprise his overacting in the Street Fighter movie. Cung Le could punch someone and Chris Klein could be all like “Whoa!” and then Cung Le could kick someone and Chris Klein could be all like “Whoa!” and Cung Le could come out and Chris Klein could be all like “This guy. Walks. Through the rain drops…” Man, video game movies rule. [via ScreenJunkies]


Retarded game. Pass. Gimme Virtua Fighter.
Tekken is so gay that when the game tells you to “finish him” it means you have to push the right button combo to make your character jerk the other guy off.
Fighting VGMs are perfect for the ‘tards that like button mashers anyways. I’d like a nice Fallout film, sardonic satire with a touch of mordant banality punctuated with furious bouts of violence. Huzzah!

Bob Hoskins and John Leguizamo think this movie looks amazing.
Panda or GTFO…
actually, just GTFO
Tekken is so gay, it makes Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu look less gay by comparison.
Losing to King is twice as bad ’cause he’s a Furry.
Zoinks, that’s Moonblood Forthebloodgod or whatever she’s called in Street Fighter, innit ? She should work more.
Git oof meh lawhn ya lil bastardos! Dem kidz keep tekken mah gardin gnomes!
This movie really mashes my buttons.
At least it actually looks like the source material, unlike, say, Chun Li or King of Fighters.
It still looks crappy, of course. It just also looks like Tekken.
Weird up.
Chris Klein makes Channing Tatum look like Cam Gigandet
Not thast anybody’s around but, nyup!
I know I’m talking to myself, but the best video game in the history of the world is THE MONKEY ISLAND SERIES. Fuck button mashers, let me take my time and use my brain. And don’t make it a movie, because you will fuck it up.
The tagline for this movie should be “Tekken It to the Max”
