A 2010 live-action film loosely based off the popular fighting game series by Bandai Namco Entertainment.The year is 2039. World wars have destroyed everything and territories are run by corporations, the mightiest — and cruelest — of which is Tekken. Jin Kazama witnesses the death of his mother Jun by Tekken's private army in the slums known as Anvil. Vowing vengeance, and armed only with his street smarts and raw fighting skills, he enters a dangerous and potentially deadly combat tournament, where he must defeat the world's most elite fighters to become the "King of the Iron Fist."Gained a direct-to-video sequel in 2014 called Tekken: Kazuya's Revenge.

Age Lift
 Tekken / int_121b3725
comment
Age Lift: In this film, Steve Fox is well into his fourties, apparently around the same age as Jun. In the games, he is actually around her son Jin' age, and even his own mother (Nina Williams, by the way) might be younger than Jun as well. This version of Nina Williams seems to be in her twenties. In the games, she is old enough to have a young adult son, which is Steve Fox of all people. Though she still looks like she's in her twenties in the games thanks to having spent several decades as a Human Popsicle.

Artistic License – Martial Arts
 Tekken / int_141f6a73
comment
Artistic License – Martial Arts: Christie's fighting style is officially changed from Capoeira to Mixed Martial Arts. She still strikes out a lot of kicks, some cartwheels and a meia lua de compasso in blink-or-miss moments, but it is clearly not considered capoeira onscreen, as she receives no relation to Eddy Gordo and the vague similarity of the two's styles onscreen is never commented. Miguel Rojo's style is changed from street fighting to zipota, a supposedly Spanish martial art (it counts as a double artistic license, as in real life zipota's authenticity is heavily debated, and it is actually believed by Spanish experts to be a foreign fabrication).

Workout Fanservice: There's a workout scene with many of the Iron Fist competitors are working out (mostly by lifting weights) in revealing and skin-tight clothes, while their bodies are covered in sweat. There are also plenty of Male Gaze and Female Gaze shots where the camera focuses on the bare chest of the guys and the breasts of the girls.

Toros y Flamenco: The producers thought Miguel Caballero Rojo's street fighting style wasn't Spanish enough, so they changed it for a supposedly Basque martial art named Zipota. Notably, in real life Zipota is basically unknown in Spain and is widely considered to be a fraud made up by its Texan promoter.

Adaptational Villainy
 Tekken / int_20f689e9
comment
Adaptational Villainy: Yoshimitsu is now a mere crony for Kazuya. See In Name Only for details. The film's version of Kazuya is devoid of his sympathetic backstory and is strongly implied to have raped Jun (which used to be a fan theory for the games, but was ultimately unproven and is considered very unlikely nowadays). He also works for Heihachi, who is his Arch-Enemy in the games (not that he isn't at least The Starscream). Miguel Rojo is changed from an honorable character with a legitimate desire of revenge to a thug with a Messiah complex.

Mythology Gag
 Tekken / int_26ac510e
comment
Mythology Gag: Armed and dangerous with it. Let's see: Paul Phoenix is mentioned to have been knocked out by Marshall Law in less than 30 seconds. Which would've been pretty improbable in the games's story, by the way. One of the statues seen in the arena is the same statue from the Hell's Gate/Heaven's Gate stage/s from Tekken 5/Dark Ressurection. Although it was averted as seen in The Stinger, the Jackhammer ordered to kill Heihachi to self-detonation is a reference to how Heihachi presumably died at the beginning of 5, and Kazuya, who in the games fed Heihachi to the Jack-4s, ironically says Raven's "Heihachi Mishima is dead." Final Boss: Kazuya Mishima. Early-Bird Boss: Bryan Fury.

Adaptational Heroism: Heihachi is turned from the arrogant villain he is in the games to an infinitely more honorable Old Master. Ultimately subverted in the after-credits scene, which implies the whole movie was Heihachi playing everything to his favor. Even in that scene, though, he still demonstrates a serenity Heihachi doesn't have. In the sequel, Kazuya is portrayed as being much nicer than he is in either the games or the first film.

Plot Hole
 Tekken / int_6331ba26
comment
Plot Hole: Weirdly enough, the tournament has ten participants, which would not work because ten is not a power of two - after the first round there would be five left, making semi-finals quite tricky. Additionally, Anna Williams is listed as a participant and yet never fights a match, and Yoshimitsu advances to the semi-finals automatically. It is possible that the Williams sisters only count as one participant (i.e. if Nina fights then Anna doesn't) since they're introduced together by Kazuya when he's running through them, and it's equally possible that Bryan Fury, as the champion, automatically is in the final match. However, it's not elaborated, making the tournament seem a bit all over the place.

Adaptation Relationship Overhaul
 Tekken / int_72ce3f54
comment
Adaptation Relationship Overhaul: The movie's version of Steve Fox knew Jun Kazama and apparently shared at least a tournament with her. However, those two characters have never shared a single installment of the videogame series (except by the non-canon Tag Tournament 2), and their deep difference of age make it unlikely that they ever knew each other. Steve Fox is Nina Williams's son in the games, but they are unrelated in the film, where she is actually younger than him. While the film doesn't openly state Christie and Eddy don't know each other, it doesn't state they are friends and apprentices of the same master as in the games either, and they never interact onscreen. However, as their fighting styles are (at least officially) given as different martial arts in the film, it's implied they have absolutely no relation there. In the movie, Jin and Christie start a relationship. This never happens in the games and it's pretty improbable that it will happen anytime soon due to their respective personalities and allegiances. In this aspect, Christie seems to have been conflated with Xiaoyu, the one who has a crush on Jin in the games. The alignment of Nina and Anna Williams varies from game to game, but it's safe to say they are never on the same side. The movie opts to present them together as a team that works for the bad guys.

Yoshimitsu, the cyborg samurai who steals from the rich to give to the poor... is just a regular guy in an elaborate suit of armor. For starters, he seemed eager to kill Jin during their fight, and before he did so while Jin's on the ground, Kazuya looked at him after he overthrew Heihachi, and Yoshimitsu nodded, implying that Kazuya bribed him to kill Jin, like he attempted to do so with Bryan.

Interface Spoiler: The second film's title, Kazuya's Revenge, spoils the twist. For most of the film, the protagonist is suffering from amnesia and is given the name K. He doesn't discover that his true identity is Kazuya Mishima until the climax.

Nice Job Fixing It, Villain: Kazuya seeks to kill Jin because the boy is the only real threat to his power. This is despite the fact that Jin would have never entered the tournament or gone after the Mishima family in the first place had Kazuya not killed his mother.

Adaptational Wimp: Paul Phoenix is mentioned in the film as a guy who lost to Marshall Law in less of a minute. In the games, Paul is effectively one of the strongest characters of the saga, and if he were to lose to Law, it would be certainly not that quick.

comment
Race Lift: Christie is played by white actress Kelly Overton. There are debates about the Christie from the games being black, Hispanic, Italian and even Asian, but she is clearly not white, at least fully. Anna is also played by a Spanish actress, though she only has one line and she probably could pass for a Irish girl with a tan.

Adaptation Name Change
 Tekken / int_dc057cf3
comment
Adaptation Name Change: The Mishima Zaibatsu is renamed Tekken and the fighting tournament they sponsor is called the Tekken tournament rather than King of Iron Fistnote Tekken means "iron fist" in Japanese so technically the name remains the same. Ironically, their private army from the games is called the Jackhammers instead of the Tekken Force.

Old Master
 Tekken / int_e7b1cb24
comment
Heihachi is turned from the arrogant villain he is in the games to an infinitely more honorable Old Master. Ultimately subverted in the after-credits scene, which implies the whole movie was Heihachi playing everything to his favor. Even in that scene, though, he still demonstrates a serenity Heihachi doesn't have.

comment
Adaptation Origin Connection: In the movie, Jin's signature gloves are a gift from Fox, who claims to have used them in his own fighting career. In the videogames, Jin's gloves have no particular origin (although they bear the same pattern as Kazuya's gloves, red with a triangle of steel studs on the top of the hand, which they retain in this movie), and Fox has certainly never used them (he used generic boxing gloves instead).

The Starscream: Kazuya, naturally. Heihachi also informs Jin that this is the reason Kazuya tried to have him killed too, since before the tournament, Heihachi only had the one heir but Jin's emergence meant that there was a second.

You Killed My Father: Jin witnessed his mother's death at the hands of Tekken's Jackhammers, and justifiably blames Heihachi for her death, even saying this verbatim to him. Subverted, as Heihachi argues that he saved her life after Kazuya raped her, as Kazuya would've killed her later if he had found out she was pregnant with Jin.
