Live Action Tekken Movie Full of Sexy Man Meat

Marshall Law

Reader Epoch9 sent over casting news of the live-action movie adaptation of Tekken. Pictured above is Cung Le as Marshall Law. This photo demonstrates that this movie will be full of what I like to call the sexy man meats. Like most gaming adaptations, I strongly suspect that Tekken will lack another thing I like to call plot. But at least they didn’t cast Jean Claud Van Dam (who will dance for you BTW) as Marshall Law. Actually, the cast seems to be fairly diverse reflecting the ethnic make up of the game. Kudos for that.

I am encouraged by this highlight reel of Jon Foo who will portray Jin Kazama. Observe the skillz.

Promising, very promising. I predict amazing chop socky goodness with a dash of plot light. That’s probably a good thing. Cause really, you don’t play Tekken or see a chop socky flick for deep character development. You’re in it for the righteous pummeling.

Thanks for the sexyness Epoch9. I think this will do much better than Dead or Alive. Blech.

    after seeing that footage of one of the actors in action, I’m revising my initial estimeat: this movie could be a lot of fun as long as they don’t try to shoehorn too much “plot” into it.

    if they do, we may end up with another Mortal Kombat.

    I dunno.. the Tekken Anime always had a decent little plot thing going on, and if you look at it really if they focus on the true main characters, and don’t try to throw in EVERY SINGLE PERSON then it could turn out pretty sweet.

    If they going to have Jin and Marshall law in it I’m assuming they are going with the time frame of Tekken 4 (also up from there to but hoping 4). which could mean one of the smallest character cast they had in the game.with the least insane sounding story.Other then the the devil gene and the fact a guy can be thrown in to a volcano and survive…Ok this is going to be odd.Also it might just be a stand alone story.All i know a 5 min fight of Eddie vs any one might be pretty awesome.As a fan I have to give it one watch then complain till it hurts.

    Lessee…actual martial artists being tapped to do a movie based on a fighting game? Not only win…ORGASMIC WIN! @_# I saw Jon Foo first in the Protector…and I was…very impressed. Okay, my jaw was on the floor impressed. This drips potential like some sweet drippy thing.

    Better looking than “Emoball Z” anyway.
