![]() ![]() ![]() The movie's version of Steve Fox knew Jun Kazama and apparently shared at least a tournament with her.In the videogames, Jin's gloves have no particular origin (although they bear the same pattern as Kazuya's gloves, red with a triangle of steel studs on the top of the hand, which they retain in this movie), and Fox has certainly never used them (he used generic boxing gloves instead). Adaptation Origin Connection: In the movie, Jin's signature gloves are a gift from Fox, who claims to have used them in his own fighting career.Ironically, their private army from the games is called the Jackhammers instead of the Tekken Force. Adaptation Name Change: The Mishima Zaibatsu is renamed Tekken and the fighting tournament they sponsor is called the Tekken tournament rather than King of Iron Fist note Tekken means "iron fist" in Japanese so technically the name remains the same.In the games, Paul is effectively one of the strongest characters of the saga, and if he were to lose to Law, it would be certainly not that quick. Adaptational Wimp: Paul Phoenix is mentioned in the film as a guy who lost to Marshall Law in less of a minute.Miguel Rojo is changed from an honorable character with a legitimate desire of revenge to a thug with a Messiah complex.He also works for Heihachi, who is his Arch-Enemy in the games (not that he isn't at least The Starscream). The film's version of Kazuya is devoid of his sympathetic backstory and is strongly implied to have raped Jun (which used to be a fan theory for the games, but was ultimately unproven and is considered very unlikely nowadays). ![]() Yoshimitsu is now a mere crony for Kazuya.Adaptational Jerkass: Marshall Law is an Arrogant Kung-Fu Guy instead of a humorous, good-natured Bruce Lee Clone.In the sequel, Kazuya is portrayed as being much nicer than he is in either the games or the first film.Even in that scene, though, he still demonstrates a serenity Heihachi doesn't have. Ultimately subverted in the after-credits scene, which implies the whole movie was Heihachi playing everything to his favor. Heihachi is turned from the arrogant villain he is in the games to an infinitely more honorable Old Master.In addition to winning her tournament fight she takes out a whole load of Kazuya's mooks. Action Girl: Christie, Nina and Anna, though only Christie really gets to show it off.Christie: Looking at my ass is a good way to get yours kicked. ![]()
