Another CG game movie - Tekken

[Wrathborne]

I like how no one is willing to touch this topic after you brought up the anime movie.

I had the anime movie on VHS, it was terrible the only thing i remembered was when Heihachi threw a kid Kazuya off the cliff saying "Lion mothers throw their cubs off a blah blah and the ones that climb back up deserve to live" or something it's been 9 years since I saw it

All depends on the script though. If you have a rotten script then yer gonna have a rotten film.

CG movies have more potential than live action when it comes to video game adaptations.

Tekken's story is pretty much one colossal power struggle between different members of the same family, fighting over control of a company.

...You have no idea how much I'm laughing now. THATS the story behind this fighting game filled with people of all kinds of super abilities?

I cant help but feel it'd be more appropriate for Pheonix Wright and Edgeworth to step in and handle things in court.

Tekken's story is pretty much one colossal power struggle between different members of the same family, fighting over control of a company. That's about it. Everyone else is kind of irrelevant.

[Wrathborne]

No, I think it's the story.

Which is why I said that Tekken has no story, the characters all have background stories to them and all, but as a whole the series has no real story goal.

Cept to make money of course.

Thats a sub plot, not a story.

No, I think it's the story. The whole game is centered around the Mishimas and them trying to destroy each other every Iron Fist Tournament. Now the other character stories, those are subplots.

Tekken does have a story. Y'know, the Heihachi throwing his son off a cliff, and Kazuya returning the favor by making a deal with the Devil. Family issues and more family issues.

I'm very excited. The past two films based on Tekken were terrible.

Tekken doesnt have a story though.

I mean it has more of a story that Street Fighter and all, but its still pretty much 'Hey, you! Lets fight!' 'Thems fighting words!'

Oh God. I remember my fifth grade art teacher (or was it sixth grade?) showing us the Tekken anime movie for film showing time or something. Midway through the movie she stepped out of the classroom for a bit to chat with another teacher... and then the Anna shower scene came up and the entire class was like . Unfortunately, she stepped back in when she heard the ruckus and skipped to the next part. The entire class was like

Oh god, that anime trailer... I understand that it was not... great.

I used to play Tekken 3 as a kid. Oh the hours my sister and I put on that PS1...

No, it's fairly awful. Bad enough I can't remember anything right and have no desire to refresh my memory. But here's the plot, in case you are - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tekken:...n_Picture#Plot
