Tekken the movie isn’t even out yet but I’m already going to pencil it in for an Oscar. That’s right folks, another video game movie is set to hit our screens and I for one can’t wait.
I for one am also the guy who paid to see Dragonball in theaters. What was I thinking? Anyway, ‘Tekken’ the movie seems to be about fighting and blah blah blah. There’s some T & A and some name-drops of Tekken characters, which works for me. If they can only find a way to work the bear and kangaroo characters from past Tekken games… Then I’m sold.
