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.
This is definitely a must see whether if you are a tekken game series fan or not. It has everything, love, action, twist, jump, cars, guns, punches and kicks. Before watching this I was confused and hesitant to choose my favorite flick. But it has changed now. I've seen this movie hundred times already. Never get tired of it. Tekken haters are rating this movie down. Seriously most underrated movie in the history of universe. It makes me wanna buy all the tekken games. and who knows maybe I will. Who's gonna stop me? You think you're better than me? Here a butterfly kick on your face, you tekken hater. This movie gave me courage and all that. I'm lei wu long.
As in: Maybe they should stop making Tekken movies and just concentrate on the games. Though I have to admit, I didn't connect this with the games at any point. Which is either a good thing (making it a unique story) or a bad thing (going too far away from the source material). Whatever the case, it's the viewer who has the last word on it. And some might wish they had amnesia after watching this.Seriously though: The fighting is pretty decent, though you do wonder how they get some people involved in movies like this. I guess everyone needs money after all. Gary Daniels makes more sense I reckon though, but the movie/script might have sounded better than the finished product after all. Because there are a few nice touches/ideas that almost shine through, but never seem to really capture the viewer ... there are worse movies out there, but there are far better ones too.
"Tekken 2: Katzyuas Revenge" didn't really offer much to the Tekken universe that already didn't fail in the first "Tekken" movie. And I dare say that it was equally boring, uneventful and unnecessary.Some things just doesn't translate well from being adapted from a console game to the big screen, and fighting games is definitely one such things. Just look at the atrocities that are "Street Fighter", "Mortal Kombat", "King of Fighters", "Dead or Alive", "Double Dragon" and of course also "Tekken". These titles are great as console games, but translated into movies, it is just mindless nonsense. I guess it is just a matter of time before they make an "International Karate+" movie as well...The story is about a young man who is suffering from memory loss, and he is forced into labor for a mysterious man called The Minister.And that was basically it. The storyline in "Tekken 2: Katzyuas Revenge" was so abysmal and devoid of contents that it was a strain to sit through it.What managed to make the movie pass as even just remotely watchable was the fight scenes, although for a movie based on a fighting console game, then there were surprisingly little fighting throughout the movie.The acting in the movie was adequate, but nothing outstanding really, nothing memorable either."Tekken 2: Katzyuas Revenge" is not really worth the time or effort.
