[edit] Director's Words

Director Charles Stone III on the film:

"Tekken will not be anything like Mortal Kombat or any of the Lara Croft movies. You will get the feeling of Bruce Lee's Enter the Dragon. A chance to get to know the characters before the inevitable slap down. It will have plenty of 'A' list actors,...Our budget is good so we shouldn't have problem there."
