How many movies translated from comics, games, old cartoons, etc. has a cast that caters to its fans? Not many I assume.

And I was 50% right! He’s an American-Asian martial artist – which makes it even better! This is Jon Foo as Jin Kazama.
I was with David Nakpil when we checked out the full cast – here are the ones that got our minds blowing!
Cary Hiroyuki Tagawa as Heihachi Mishima – remember the 1st Mortal Kombat movie? He was Shang Tsung. Yes he’s still buff. And yes, he’s much older than that picture now.
