He is tormented by flashes of his past and by the face of an ominous stranger. The next thing he knows, Kazuya is ambushed and kidnapped by an underground crime organization and, soon after, turned into a ruthless assassin. During a mission to assassinate a man named Brian Fury, Kazuya finds that his target harbors clues to his true identity. With the help of Fury and a female assassin, Kazuya follows the clues, leading him to the lab of his reoccurring flashbacks. Here, he will finally confront his past and the ominous man of his nightmares - Heihachi Mishima, face the ultimate betrayal, and learn the truth about who, and what, he really is.

Has some good moments but not very many. The whole premise of the story is pretty silly to be honest and although I know it is based on a video game, it just doesn't match up. Some of the fight scenes are not to bad but Kane Kosugi, although he clearly has ability, just doesn't look good enough and lacks personality.Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa is the only believable actor in this movie but he is much too underused.The main evil character looks like a dithering old man that anyone could overcome and the whole implanted explosive was silly and all Kazua had to do was kill him surely? He also found it pretty easy to remove the device anyway.So, if you like good action/Martial Arts movies I would give this a miss.

Tekken: Kazuya's Revenge (2014) is a great movie to watch, waiting for part 3 to be released. Keep an open mind while watching this movie. Part 2 has less action then first movie yet was focused on the story line which makes Tekken: Kazuya's Revenge (2014) a great movie. Gaming movies are always under rated since they are normally low budget films or not actually what the player excepts. Also the people in the movie sometimes don't fit. The actors selected for this movie to play the main characters fit the roles. The movie team did a great job and hope part 3 gets released soon, doesn't take 3 to 4 years. Normally don't take the time to do reviews yet had to since some of them seem a bit harsh. Great job and keep them coming!

I am an avid Tekken player, and I too loved the story line of the games. This movie had nothing to do with the games, and it was just a waste of time. I barely made it through. The first live action movie they made wasn't great either, but it had a lot more to offer than this did. At least in the first one there were more than 2 of the original players in the game, and there was an actual tournament! Fight scenes were poorly done, and believe it or not, I would rather the first 'porn' actor that played Kazuya than the guy they got for this one. If you have to, watch it because you liked the games, but trust me, don't expect anything out of this.

I know the first live-action movie was not well-received by fans and critics alike but I enjoyed its decent fight scenes. It was a guilty pleasure. I guess I could say that because I am not a fan of Tekken though I have watched the CGI Blood Vengeance. Now, back to this movie, the prequel is shockingly inept; it is extremely low-budget and features some half-baked choreography, story and editing. I may not be a fan of video games but I know if the movie tries to recreate the moments of the games and this has none. The characters do not look anything like the characters in the game. I thought I could let it go since I am not a fan but the fight scenes do not even make up for it or the lack of story.The story: Kazuya wakes up in some unknown hotel room. He is confused about his identity. Shortly, some action happens. I thought it will be an action-packed ride given the short runtime. However, the thought was short-lived. It does contain some fight scenes but they are shockingly normal; none of the characters have distinctive fight styles. Unlike the first movie, the choreography is boring and uninspired. Each fight scene is quite short; shorter than one and a half minutes. Take out the name, Tekken 2: Kazuya's Revenge, and you will get an uninspired action movie that is almost pointless to watch. There are many annoying pointless slo-mo scenes of characters walking and walking…and bad editing. The acting is not that good too. Music is alright. Overall: There is almost no saving grace in this. It makes the first one looks like a classic. I could at least see some efforts used to create the look in the first movie but in this, there is none. There is no distinctive style, no interesting things happening and it looks like it is shot fast with not much consideration of locations. There may be many tepid movies based on video games but this is one of the worst movies. It just does not look appealing. Not much to recommend here.
