The original Tekken was cheap and silly but at least it tried. Whatever the case may be, you get the sense that the producers just didnвЂ™t care. And based on production rumors and misinformation вЂ“ KosugiвЂ™s site claimed he was not making a Tekken movie, and the film supposedly went through multiple titles like Agent X and A Man Called X вЂ“ I kind of think KazuyaвЂ™s Revenge became a Tekken film very late in the game. Tekken 2 has very little in common with the original film or the game that inspired it. Kazuya is an amnesiac, Heihachi is lacking his signature hairdo that makes him look like a balding Wolverine, and Fury never once reminded me of his original iteration. Really though, these feel like completely different characters. Kane Kosugi plays Kazuya (originally played by Ian Anthony Dale), and Gary Daniels and Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa return as Bryan Fury and Heihachi, respectively.

Really, IвЂ™d like to begin and end this review right here by telling you that this movie sucks, that itвЂ™s not worth your time, and that you should just find another way to waste 90 minutes in your dayвЂ¦ but I expect youвЂ™d like to know why.Дespite that pesky 2 in the title, Tekken 2 actually serves as a prequel to the first film. Even the sound effects, music, and end credits feel like they were patched on at a momentвЂ™s notice.

This is a lame, half-hearted effort from start to finish. The least you can say is that at least the filmmakers went all out with their limited budget, making the film look like a videogame come to life, complete with goofy costumes, goofy dialogue, and just enough competent action to satisfy the fans.ДЄnd while the original Tekken failed to find an audience, I think the makers of 2014вЂ™s Tekken 2: KazuyaвЂ™s Revenge might secretly wish audiences would just ignore their film and move on. Drink a few beers, have a sense of humor about things, and it makes for some silly entertainment. I mean, make no mistake, I would never call it a good movie, but itвЂ™s fun in a stupid sort of way. Well, IвЂ™m going to be honest: I kind of liked the film. вЂњTekken 2: KazuyaвЂ™s RevengeвЂќ Japanese DVD CoverД¬ast: Kane Kosugi, Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa, Rade Serbedzija, Gary Daniels, Kelly Wenham, Ron Smoorenburg, Paige Lindquist, Charlotte KirkДў010вЂ™s Tekken came and went without many people taking notice.
