Tekken (Live Action Movie)
#101
Posted 02 July 2009 - 07:19 AM
The rest of the list I gathered from previous game-movie adaptations that have:
Incoherent storylines that make you go "huh?"
Fighting scenes that are pretty cool when they start, and wither as they progress (although this cast seems to be more impressive than usual).
"Actors" that can't act.
Cast members that don't fit everyones taste (but again, this cast looks a hella lot more impressive than usual).
But as I said, one could hope this movie turns out a lot better than the previous crappy movies.
also:it was a DB, not DBZ movie. I cannot seem to stress that enough on the DB:E thread.

XD~ well either way i think most of the cast looks amazing.. well much better than DB:E ** (i corrected myself thank you.) and street fighter.
i dun reli think they're actors that can't act.. cuz if u think abt it.. Luke Goss as Prince Nuada.. i think he did a GREAT jobb..
Jon Foo.. well done in The Protector.. Cary Tagawa.. i remember him from Memoris of a Geisha.. which was a wonderful movie.. he did a great job..
soo i really dun think the cast is a bunch of actors that can't act xD
butt yea i agree w/ u.. i just hope tis movie will come out MUCH BETTER than the other ones

but just cuz they look the part doesnt mean anything
but I think there are some good people in this
however it will get tainted by bad dialogue and story
Hold your horses dude.
I was just merely stating that the actors actually look like their characters by chance.
A statement.
Of course that doesn't determine their ability.
I don't watch movies just because someone's good looking or something.
If their acting sucks, then heckz naw. :]
On another note, I'm so jealous.
My sister's friend was visiting in some state [forgot where], but they were shooting Tekken, but they couldn't find enough Asian actors to play in this one club scene. They happened to see him walking in the street, so they asked him if he wanted to be an extra and so he agreed.
[LUCKY!]
He's gonna be somewhere in the back, smoking an herbal cigarette cause he doesn't smoke in real like. Lol
Talk about being at the right place at the right time.

I think Jon Foo can act though he's always played the bad guys (The Protector, House of Fury, Batman Begins) lol

Of course it's easy to forget about a s***fest of a movie BUT I still wanna watch that! LOL!
I got off topic there. Anyways, to keep this RELATIVELY on track...I'm kinda excited about the prospect of having Tekken 6 on PSP! I don't have a next gen console so it's awesome that there's a port for it on PSP. Now my PSP will have purpose. JUGGLING FTW!

Lol.. Chun Li.. xD well i just saw it like 3 days ago.. ill give u a review on it.. some of the storyline they follow the game.. the fighting scenes.. meh... all wireworks.. totally fake..except fur the first scene.. which was legit.. now Bison.. its just WTF?!?!?! HAHAHAHAHA he looks gay...
and since wen did Chun Li become a mix O_o;... so overall.. if you are just watching for the heck of it.. 5/10.. butt if you actaully want to follow the game.. 2/10.. ><;
xD imma excited about the PSP one too.. i can bring it with me everywhere =3
but imma wondering if they are gonna be the same.. Since T5 and T5 dark resurrection were slightly off.

I'm still watching it just for crap factor.
Well, Dark Resurrection was made exclusively for PSP (then got ported to PS3) and was supposed to be sort of like an expansion to the original T5 game. Now because Tekken 6 was delayed so much for the home consoles, they had alreday released not only Tekken 6 in arcades but also Tekken 6 - Bloodline Rebellion, which is the expansion to Tekken 6.
So rather than release both T6 and BR for home consoles, they decided they would make BR the actual home console game and just pass it off as Tekken 6 for home consoles. Good move I say.

lol yeah i wish they release more pics of him as jin. but i think everybody (who was in the movie) had to sign a contract where they can't reveal any pics of their character or any other info.

ah thats true.. but there are somethings that i'm very concerned about. It says it will be released in 2009.. either August or October.. but no trailer or any news about it has been released.. and i'm hving a huge doubt on the "T" poster.. it was release long before the movie was even comfirmed.. are they seriosuly just gonna leave it like that?! *shrugs* I'm scareddddd DDDD: i don't want them to push the movie back again.. like last time.. i don't want them to push it like " it will be released in another 3 years.. just on DVD.." T _ T
ANYWAYS.. LOL.. well look at Rob Pattinson.. he wasnt even big when he was in HP.. but look at him.. everyone use to complain when the twilight poster first came out.. "EWWWW.. Y IS HE PLAYIN EDWARD?! HES SO UGLY". and not everyone is addicted to him. i'm sure something like that will happen to Jon ^^ v.. although i don't want to have him have too many fangirls >_>; YES IM GREEDY MWAHAHAHA... i don't want those 13 + 14 yrs old go OMG.. hes so cute *laugh laugh snore snore* and be like.. "i dun care if hes a good martial artist or not.. hes just cute.." WTF.. =,=;
ok im done ranting ^^

omg i so agree with you about the 13+14 yr olds LOL because i KNOW I became a fan of him because he does martial arts. it seems ppl these days don't really care about "TRUE" talent and just go for the "good-looks" only. i respect jon foo for his amazing talents. he's a gymnast, acrobat, wushu master, stuntman and a really nice guy in real life. he also speaks several different languages

yea i soooo agree with you! i read someone's comment where she said "He's gorgeous, he can act and he's an astonishing martial artist... meanwhile people like Paris Hilton are in the public eye." so true, right?
i think he is living in los angeles right now. he has lived in thailand for a couple years. i know he has a sister.
He onced dreamed of becoming an animator, but later realized that drawing cartoons frame by frame would bore him so he took on martial arts .
have u seen him in this thailand commerical where he plays a superhero with attributes similar to Superman except his shirt has a F instead of an S on it LOL. i'll post the vid link up on my Jon Foo thread so go there to chek it out.
