couples of months ago, I was bouncing around IMDB doing some research on The Expendables and buried deep in the cast listing was Gary Daniels and on his bio page was a listing for the movie version of Tekken. The movie was listed as ‘in development” so I wasn’t too worried but in the back of mind I knew this frightful omen could become a reality.
Alas, my fears have been confirmed, for today we bring you the first trailer for Tekken. The film is based on the wildly popular arcade fighting game from the 90’s which has become a home console hit today. Back when I frequented many an arcade establishment, Tekken would have many quarters lined up across the top with guys waiting to play the winner of each match. Unlike Mortal Kombat , which was two-dimensional, Tekken was one of the early pioneers of 3D game play.
I wasted my hours and skipped many college classes playing Tekken – I’ll still take nyone on with Paul Phoenix – but at no point did I think the game would make a good movie. However, some Hollywood mogul reliving his early 90’s childhood disagreed with me and decided to invest in making his Tekken movie dreams a reality. We have the trailer for you below, but words can’t really express how utterly awful this movie appears to be.
Watch it and be the judge for yourself:
