I always like watching him on screen although a bit more back-story to The Minister would have been interesting. Rade Serbedzija plays a villain called The Minister who keeps forcing people to fight to the death or he’ll make them explode that’s literally what he does. I won’t lie, I actually had no clue what was going on by the end and had frankly stopped caring I was just there to watch some fights and that was fine. Sadly, the story like I said has little to do with Tekken and despite Kane Kosugi’s awesomeness you don’t really care what happens and it lacks any real tension or threat. Fluid camera work and martial arts moves that will give you a sore back by just watching are the order of the day and it’s certainly one of the best fight scenes of the year. The best fight scene though is at the end with Kane Kosugi taking on Brahim Achabbakhe and Ron Smoorenberg. It also has a small but pivotal role for Gary Daniels who returns to play Bryan Fury he has a great fight scene with Kane which is one of the action highlights. The fights are choreographed to perfection and there are enough of them to make it a fun watch. Kane Kosugi is as awesome as always and his fighting skills are a joy to behold. That’s not to say there isn’t plenty of action though as an outsider (who isn’t much of a gamer) looking for an entertaining martial arts flick, you could do worse than Kazuya’s Revenge.
Review: I always thought the Tekken games were about the King of Iron Fist Tournament, then I realised that this is actually a prequel to the first movie and it’s set before the tournament… which I’m pretty sure no one really wants to see. Plot: Suffering from amnesia, a young man trying to discover his true identity is kidnapped by an underground crime organization and turned into a ruthless assassin. Kazuya’s Revenge has plenty of great fight scenes and Kane Kosugi is, as always likeable but the forgettable story and lack of any real emotion or tension make it one possibly for rental only.
