tekken-movie-poster.jpg

Hollywood’s franchise raping antics continue with the revelation that even the producer of Tekken is willing to publicly trounce the recent $35 million Tekken movie, calling it “terrible” and entreating Tekken fans “don’t even ask me about that!”

Tekken producer Katsuhiro Harada expressed his dissatisfaction in an English language Twitter exchange with fans:

“That Hollywood movie is terrible. We were not able to supervise that movie. (It was cruel contract.) I’m not interested in that [movie].”

“Please don’t ask me about that movie. We did not have the supervision right. I don’t want talk about that.”

Considering the atrocious results of practically every effort to adapt a fighting game to the silver screen, just why they persist is something of a mystery.

The trailer:

The film was aired in Japan in March, with a number of other territories getting summer 2010 releases. The US release is due some time in 2011.

    Oh yeah, this movie sucks so bad it gives Streetfighter: Lengend of Chun Li a run for its money. Setting is like some post apocalyptic shit that has a paper than connection, if that, to any of the games. The character portrayls are horrible in both their personality and fighting styles with the exception of maybe Eddie and Raven.

    Movie adaptations in general are shitty. Be it from comics, games, folk-tales, real tales, TV, books, anime... Oh and remakes!

    Yes maybe some of them are not that bad (imo) but most do tend to fuck up a lot the original history, characters, even changing so much the whole package you can't be really sure if the film was based on something on the end or it was an original movie with a borrowed existing title.

    I still liked the original Mortal Kombat movie. Despite the cheesiness it was a good fun kung-fu flick that made good use of the existing story and characters. Even the DoA film wasn't so bad since it turned things in to Charlie's Angels but still managed to meet the titty quota.

    Given the names involved, this Tekken movie could have been similar. Seems there was a lot of outside interference.

    I'm going to try to guess at the reasoning for this statement, because I believe it's true.

    Probably because game story lines are rarely all that great in the first place. Which proves the reason why people like games is because of the immersion they feel as the character. In a game you write your own story in a sense.

    This reasoning proves the opposite too, a movie is solely story line. The better the story, the more constrictive and limiting the game play will be. Which is exactly why you end up with extremely linear and predictable games. So while you focus on one aspect, other aspects of freedom are lost.

    But there are still the obvious reasons of money, and laziness on the directors' parts as well. Also complete lack of talent due to low budgets. Not to mention the dumbing down and localization for the main stream audience. Xp

    I've watched this movie...

    **SPOILER ALERT**

    Several differences:

    Ingame Dragunov: Death god that takes the form of a human.
    Movie Dragunov: Gay that works in barber shop.

    Ingame Christie: Capoeira practitioner.
    Movie Christie: Some kind of chinese martial art practitioner.

    Ingame Anna and Nina: Sisters of never ending rivalry.
    Movie Anna and Nina: A wannabe ninja that sent to kill Jin, and Kazuya;s bi**h.

    Ingame Steve: Boxer practitioner, good juggle set.
    Movie Steve: Fu**ed up douche bag that has no knowledge about boxing, but able to shoot and aim properly using P90.

    Ingame Heihachi: Bad-a** Old man.
    Movie Heihachi: LMAO face. Does very little fighting and died at close range by some clone soldier that betrayed him and works under Kazuya. iomtukkun.

    Ingame Kazuya: Someone with a concentrated essence of evil, very adapt in hand to hand combat.
    Movie Kazuya: AXE TIEM! LOLOLOLOLOLOL!

    and many other differences... "Many"....
    It seems that they are trying to make tekken into a mainstream movie... Btw, sorry for my bad english...

    Please don't tell me that was Jin. Looks like a pussy compared to the REAL one.

    Well, this movie looks like it could be good if it got it's own title, not stampled as "Tekken".

    Considering the atrocious results of practically every effort to adapt a fighting game to the silver screen, just why they persist is something of a mystery.

    Because Mortal Kombat was successful, so they'll just keep trying and trying.

    10 years from now we'll be saying "Why do they keep trying to make comic book movies?" and the answer will be "Because of Spiderman"

    The first resident evil wasn't bad since it was a prequel to the games and didn't fuck with the canon storyline at all, the second was an abomination where the directors Mary Sue stomped in and took a dump on the entire RE storyline, the third was watchable if you did your best to pretend it wasn't supposed to be related to anything and was just a random post apocalyptic zombie movie.

    Thats the Issue with alot of these movies on their own alot of them are decent standalone movies but as a game francise tie in there awful for anyone that has played the game which last I checked was the target audience.

    ..Except for Ewe Boll that man has never made a good movie and should be gassed by the German government for the good of mankind.

    @Artefact this is absolutely true, I believe it's stated some where in your FAQ:

    "Of particular note is the frequency of crossover between the media triad of anime, manga and games (as well as novels, eroge and the like), and the seamlessness with which these media would merge into one another with much finer gradients than the sharp delineations visible in American/European media (this is a movie, this is a novel, we make novels into movies but we never make games into novels, novels of movies are treated with derision, and we only make movies and games into one another with disastrous results; comics and animation are for children).

    In contrast, the complex of Japanese media, unified by the visual style introduced by manga, exhibits constant (and successful) adaptations from one form into another, with each both taking into account the opportunities and limitations inherent in the media concerned, and being received without undue jaundice in each new incarnation."

    And with this great principle in mind, you created Sankaku if I'm not mistaken.

    And given to Hollywood and their own 'personal touch' it becomes a gigantic sh*t-storm of fail and westernized family sh*t...

    I mean, look what they bloody did to Avatar: The Last Air Bender..! Not a single asian main character!!! Aang's a f*cking white kid, Kitara's a white chick...It...It is blasphemous whorage I tell you...No asian authenticity...

    They bloody butchered it to appeal to western audiences and their love for white character leads and steroid/testosterone pumped BS adaptation...

    Honestly, videogame movies should be made by the companies themselves and in 3D like Resident Evil: Degeneration...

    Hollywood and their sh*t videogame/cartoon-to-movie adaptations are UTTER SH*T...

    MAIN POINT:

    -Should be made by the companies themselves...

    -In anime or 3D (like RE: Degeneration)...

    -STICK TO THE F*CKING STORY AND DON'T ADD YOUR BLOODY HOLLYWOOD WESTERNIZATION FAMILY-FRIENDLY SH*T!!!

    re:d was pretty to watch, but painfully annoying to hear and follow. Appleseed 2 was a flipping sad turn of events from the first one as was toshindan OVAs. Every street fighter anime adaptations are mind numbingly awful -thou the tv show had the best story by far- and that FF- the spirits within along with the follow-up advent children where one: Not Fantasy and two: Horridly tedious.

    Point? They're ALL made by JAPANESE PEOPLE<<<<<

    For myself; Mortal Kombat was a fun treat. Great eye candy and a somewhat sorta story that was dragged out of it.

    I personally liked the Reptile fight in MK...But Scorpion's death by Johnny Cage was dishonorably gaaayyyyyyy...

    I'm glad he died at part 2 for what he did to Scorpion...

    Yeah, but the story was clearly based in an Asian world. The fact that the characters were casted as non-asians really threw alot of people off. As an Authentic Asian myself gotta say it would have been best animated, or done in cg, or with an actual ethnically correct cast. In that order. But hey, at least Uwe Boll isn't involved.

    you gotta notice the tradition. american movies has either a white or black hero/protagonist. chinese movies have chinese, japanese have japanese, indian has indian. since the early history of movies, it has always been this way and i highly doubt thats ever going to change.

    look at the last samurai for example.

    i too was upset by the lack of Asians in the last airbender. i didnt complain though. just didnt watch it.

    "american movies has either a white or black hero/protagonist. chinese movies have chinese, japanese have japanese, indian has indian."

    Not really, that doesn't really apply to Thailand movies. Som Tum has Nathan Jones as the main character and that one martial art movie (which title i csn't remember) has a group of white guys as the protagonists.

    I'm no sure how Avatar: The Last Air Bender fits into it. It is an american cartoon after all and while you can guess at the race of characters in it, they really can be whatever you want. When you can use what is basically magic, why bother with worrying about other aspects of reality? The only thing that bugged me was the firebending change.

    Avatar was doomed from the start.

    Avatar was bound to run into cultural issues sooner or later given that it was a cartoon/anime hybrid that was sold to the audience as a show with strong "Asian" themes.

    The choice to whitewash the main characters and fill in the background with minorities just worsens the entire situation. It would be akin to replacing the filling inside Californian Rolls (which many love) with a very American filling, such as say apple pie.

    On the bright side at least it wasn't as bad as John Wayne playing Genghis Khan...

    I saw that movie last week, it was good, not the bad at all, the only thing that bothered me is the main actor, he simply doesn't look like "jin kazama" the game character
    Also the fight scenes were too few and too short, they also didn't integrate all the famous character of the game, but only few of them

    The hero gotta be a white teen who can fight/kung-fu/whatever, it's typical stereotype of these kind of movies now that are targeting a certain audience.

    Considering it only cost $35 million to make the movie, I'm sure they will make a profit on it regardless how bad the movie is or does.
