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

The thing is, movie companies are always just about making PROFIT! So they go overboard in catering to the target market and thus we have an American Son Goku, a frail looking man as Eddie Brock and Ben Affleck as Daredevil.

And this is why The Tekken Movie BLOWS me away. I assumed an American would be playing Jin blah blah blah…

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.

Ron Perlman as Paul Phoenix – For those who don’t know, he’s the buff old dude who played Hellboy. (Though IMDB says its unconfirmed let us keep our fingers crossed!)

Chiaki Kuriyama as Ling Xiaoyu – remember that cute girl with the mace in Kill Bill? Oh yeah.

Nathan Jones as Craig Marduk – For those who know Nathan Jones, nuff said. For those who don’t, watch Brad Pitt’s Achilles take him down in the first few minutes of Troy.

Tamlyn Tomita as Jun Kazama – remember that cute brown-skinned Japanese girl in the Karate Kid two? She’s all grown up as Jin’s mother here!

Batista as King - OMG. OMFG. (Awesome guitar entrance here)

Cung Le as Marshall Law - Everyone knows that Law was based on Bruce Lee right? Well Cung Le is today’s hottest fighter of Lee’s art: Jeet Kune Do.

FINALLY

Jackie Chan as Lei Wulong – as far as I know, Jackie Chan is only the second dude since Samuel L. Jackson (Nick Fury) to play a character based upon himself. IMDB changed status to unconfirmed – but if this doesn’t pull through I’ll commit suicide.

PLUS…

Check out the other cast members – pls comment if you know who they are. But as far as I see, they are absolutely awesome!

Luke Goss as Steve Fox (Hellboy 2 – the white haired villain)

Gary Daniels as Bryan Fury

Roger Huerta as Miguel

Ian Anthony Dale as Kazuya Mishima

Candice Hillebrand as Nina Williams

Marian Zapico as Anna Williams

Kelly Overton as Christie Monteiro

Darrin Henson as Raven

Lateef Crowder as Eddy Gordo

Anton Kasabov as Sergei Dragunov

   (Stamp: August 18, 2009) That’s not a pic of Tamlyn Tomita. That’s Yunjun Kim. Still, awesome.

   You’re wrong, dude! Jon Foo was British born and half-chinese/half-irish.
