Highlight of the Week: The most emotional moment in the history of video game movies?

Prepare to be moved

Words: GamesRadar_MattCundy on May 6, 2011

The Tekken movie was finally released in the UK on DVD and Blu-ray this week. We'd forgotten that this wafty guff of cinematic bum-fart even existed. To celebrate, this week's official GamesRadar Highlight is probably the film's most moving, emotive moment. We say 'probably' because it's the only bit we've seen. It is an exploding crescendo of acting.

Go on Jin. Kick his f*cking head in son.

Also, we haven't even seen Tekken, so perhaps we're being unfair calling it a wafty guff of cinematic bum-fart. Have you seen it? Are we wrong in our uninformed assessment? Feel free to set us straight in the comments.

HOTW: PSN still undergoing maintenance
More of a disaster than a highlight

HOTW: This is how a real man asks a lady to dinner
Johnny Cage showing that he's a lover and a fighter

HOTW: Actually, if it's been in your mouth...
Ryo is probably better off taking the loss on this one

Yeah, the KOF movie sucked WAY bigger ass than this. In this movie, the likes of Law, Raven, Eddy, Brian and, heck, even Jin look somewhat similar to their videogame counterparts. KOF had a businessman approaching his 40's playing Terry Bogard, a caucasian male playing asian Kyo Kusanagi and the guy that played Toad in the X-Men movies as Rugal Bernstein. Who was wearing ice hockey gear in one scene. FUUUUUUU--- In terms of uncomfortable sex scenes, its a tie. Tekken had the awkward three way with mustachioed Kazuya with Anna and Nina, aswell as constant Christie butt-crack. KOF had awkward rape scene involving the "hip new" Rugal and additional lesbo Mature/Vice love. I just felt you all needed to know. Either way, despite being shitter than Jean Claude Vann Damme's dance secene in The Kickboxer, Tekken is still the better movie. KOF has just been ruined forever.

Poor casting, idiotic lines, bad acting (if you can call it acting, I call it looking bored in front of camera), but it's true about the fanservice though.. The fight scene is serviceable but not that great, they should have hired Thailand guys who made Chocolate and Ong Bak.

@Random88 That made me literally LOL. I will never watch this movie, I don't want my view of the series scarred. Nice music, shame about everything else! The blondes face as well, how unenthusiastic can you be?

Shotgunalchemist has it right, the story is pathetic and the film has nothing to do with games, but the fight scenes definitely are somewhat entertaining. Although you could probably get as much entertainment from watching the DOA film, at least that didn't take itself too seriously.

As bum clenching as the acting is in this "movie" the fight scenes are spot on and luckily most of the film is fight scenes. There is one scene involving Anna, Nina and Kazuya with a hilariously disturbing expression on Kazuya's face (it's quite a "ohh matron" scene)

The only thing I remember from this movie was the stupid ass outfits Christie wore that showed off her ass crack. Apparently ass crack is sexy.

god damn it, can't you guys install a video player that doesn't have a default volume setting of 'blow my f*ckin brains out of my ass'? ...or one that even works when you press play first time would be nice. Apart from that, this looks ace, not as good as William and Kate the Movie, but ace nonetheless.

I've never seen Ghosts of Girlfriends Past, but I can say with unadulterated confidence that it too is a cinematic suppository....

I've seen it on tv this week! It was pretty bad, but at least there was some eyecandy for the horny pre-teens in the form of a girl with constant ass view and no underpants of any kind... Also, the face of Jin's Grandpa was pretty epic.

I think they want Jin to win. Although I like the suggestions above me too.

They weren't cheering for him. There was a waiter walking around taking everyone's drink orders.
