Editorial Review:
Amazon.com
The best part of the video game Tekken has always been an animated prelude that sets the stage before you start drop-kicking your opponent's head. So it seemed natural to extend it into a movie, brought to life with artful anime illustration and an alt-rock soundtrack. All of your favorite Tekken characters are here as they battle their way through each other to win the Iron Fist tournament, where fighters of unequaled strength from around the world gather to test their strength in the gladitorial arena. Of course, intrigue and danger abound, with professional assassins, champions of justice, and those whose prowess earns them fear and respect facing off. Also, many opponents have deadly hidden agendas. Watching this film is perhaps not as visceral as actually executing a flying face-smash on your own, but an anime thrill nonetheless. --Tod Nelson

1 out of 5 stars These 5 star reviews are comical.......2007-03-04

I tried to sell this for years and just recently got rid of it. And how I did it? The same way these guys writing 5 star reviews for this did it. Yeh, yeh I know I'm a bast*** but oh well I got your money. However with the exception of that review I used to sell my reject, my other reviews are honest. Well anyway... Tekken is close to the worst anime based on a videogame. The only things worst is Art of Fighting and Samurai Showdown. The story is focused mostly on Kazuya and has little to do with the game. Some of the fan favorites get very little screen time. In short don't waste your time on this movie. If you have to see it try and rent it. This is no way worth 17 bucks. I say 5 dollars at the most. Save that 17 bucks and pick up Baki the Grappler or Streetfighter V. Stay away from this trash. Before I sold it, it was makin' a great coaster.

5 out of 5 stars Totally actionable! I would really like to know the tekken character's "Meaning of Life"!.......2006-08-04

This movie is totally awesome! Even though the storyline is different from the game, it's still pretty awesome. Everybody rocks in this movie, but Kazuya rocks even more better! The background songs are alright, but the ending song, "Meaning of Life", makes me wanna rock with it. I'm sure you'll love the ending song. I think this is one of the best Tekken anime movie that I ever watched! Trust me, once you buy it, you'll love it! I just wish there's a Tekken 2 movie!

The songs in the background is alright, but the ending song, "Meaning of Life", makes me wanna rock with it. I'm sure you're gonna love the ending song. You should get the album, Offspring, because there's a "Meaning of Life" song and other songs that you could like. You should get this movie and enjoy with it. Trust me, it's actionable and you'll never forget Tekken. I just wish that there's a Tekken 2 movie!

1 out of 5 stars A good review won't help you hock your copy.......2006-03-29

I Bought the vhs for a buck and I want a refund.

It's possible that I saw the 'edited version', but I doubt more gore or nipples would make this anything other than a way to make a buck off impulsive fan-boys.

The animation, even for its time, is third rate, Saturday morning cartoons have delivered better plots, and Keanu Reeves has delivered better philosophical dialogue.

Don't bother.

1 out of 5 stars Resellers are charging $45? Don't be fooled.......2006-02-15

UGH,

Horrible anime even by game anime standards. The dub is made worse by horrible American music that was stale when the orignal VHS was released.

The story is VERY Loose on the dealings between Kazyua and Heihachi. Yoshimitsu a Tekken Favorite gets like no screen time.

Stay away stay far away
