Ahoy, squirts! Quint here. I don't know how wise it is to expect anything other than absurdity from a movie based on a fighting video game and it looks like TEKKEN: THE MOVIE won't break the grand tradition started by STREET FIGHTER and kept alive by multiple MORTAL KOMBAT movies and DOA: THE MOVIE.

Dwight Little, best known for ANACONDA 2 (the proper title being ANACONDAS: THE HUNT FOR THE BLOOD DIAMOND) and the Wesley Snipes political thriller MURDER AT 1600 will direct the flick. It seems Little has spent his life skirting direct-to-video. He hit pre-DTV Stephen Segal (MARKED FOR DEATH) and sequels FREE WILLY 2, HALLOWEEN 4 and a huge amount of TV, from 24 to PRISON BREAK.

That's not to slam the dude. I think it's saying something he's avoided DTV land with that kind of material, and still made some fun flicks. However, TEKKEN: THE MOVIE doesn't sound appealing to me. He promises it to be a Martial Arts spectacular, so maybe it'll at least be fun. Ridiculous... almost assuredly, but fun... hopefully. Thoughts?
