![]() ![]() To be fair, beyond the nicely shot action sequences, Kaos as cinematographer also had some well-framed moments like this, that almost made it stylistically something that worked in spite of itself, but not quite. This did have two writers, so I don't know if that explains the story we got here, and perhaps Kaos's attempt to save it and make it coherent. We have some good fights and kills by Kane Kosugi, but the same way Patty Smyth and Don Henley said "sometimes love just ain't enough," sometimes some good fights and kills by Kosugi just ain't enough. What he was going for here, it's hard to say, and I tried in the IMDb trivia to see if I could find out, but nothing was said about it. The enigmatic Wych Kaosayananda, aka Kaos, strikes again. At the same time, who is this mysterious Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa playing Heihachi Mishima that's lurking around spying on things? That can't be good, right? Because Kazuya is blessed with a certain set of skills, Rade makes him work as a hit man for him, but when one of those hits is Bryan Fury (played again by DTVC Hall of Famer Gary Daniels), Kazuya realizes there is a way out. A military SWAT team raids the hotel, and as he's escaping, he's captured by a commune led by Rade Serbedzija (and that will be the last time I type his full name in this review). Tekken 2: Kazuya's Revenge is supposed to be a prequel to the first movie? It has Kane Kosugi as Kazuya, who wakes up in a hotel room and has no idea who he is. In addition to us, our friend Mitch at the Video Vacuum has covered this as well. Until finally, in the summer of 2022, Tubi got it here in the US. Unfortunately I went on an unplanned hiatus, and when I came back almost five years later, this wasn't on any of the streaming services. Although created by Wild Stunts Europe, Bandai Namco shared the video on its official YouTube channel, which feels like an endorsement to me.I first saw this back in early 2015 when I did a solo podcast episode on it, and at that time I planned to give it a proper review as well. There was also a short film called TEKKEN Tag Tournament 2 from 2012 that also had entertaining fights. I'm not interested in that movie." However, unlike the Street Fighter films, the fight scenes were considered pretty good. We were not able to supervise that movie it was a cruel contract. Harada said in a tweet that no longer exists, " That Hollywood movie is terrible. 2010's Tekken and its prequel, 2014's Tekken 2: Kazuya's Revenge, suffered similar fates as the Street Fighter live-action adaptations. Tekken's filmography consists of four movies, two live-action and the remainder, animated. ![]() Don't get me wrong, the live-action Street Fighter movies, Street Fighter (1994), and Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun-Li (2009) are notorious for how bad they were, but the animated shows and films did much better. Unlike Capcom's Street Fighter, Bandai Namco's previous attempts at releasing theatrical feature films haven't been too successful. However, Bandai Namco's lack of experience in video distribution has led to the developer taking the time to " consider/study with many partners" for a possible future collaboration. In fact, the company has received many offers for a new video adaptation. #TEKKEN 2 MOVIE FULL MOVIE SERIES#Recently, when an enthusiastic fan asked Tekken chief producer Katsuhiro Harada whether Bandai Namco has considered making " a Netflix anime or live-action series based on the Tekken universe and characters," he stated that he had. Fighting games have also had a hard time trying to please fans with their silver screen adaptations, which is probably why Bandai Namco isn't in a hurry to release a new Tekken movie. Yet, the cheesy nature of some of them, in my opinion, is part of their charm. Some of the biggest offenders are Super Mario Bros. It's always fun to see your favorite IPs make the transition into other forms of media, but video game movies have been notorious for not meeting the expectation of fans. ![]()
