That's....interesting and hopefully true. Tekken doesn't need to be R rated at all but I'm all for a brutal martial arts movie. Ironic that they'd go this route for this yet the Mortal Kombat movies all managed to stay PG-13.
I agree. Studios need to stop marketing EVERYTHING to the PG-13 audience. They wonder why ticket sales are declining and I'll tell you, it's because adults, the people who have the ability to go see a movie and the money to do so, generally don't have anything to go see that isn't watered down for the kiddies.
Just like studios have ruined horror films in the past few years they've neutered a lot of action flicks, too. Here's to hoping things turn around and we get some "balls" (as you put it) in more of our movies.
Nice read.

Are kangaroos and pandas and tree trunk people gonna be in it? That might be disastrous or fantastic. I'm not sure which I want.

Now imagine kangaroos and pandas and magic tree trunk men FIGHTING people in a rated R setting! I think I just sold myself on this movie.

I dunno how excited I could get about a tekken movie regardless of rating but as a long time fan of kickass spfx makeup in movies I definitely agree about keeping my action movies packed with graphic violence.
I need to track down a copy of Riki-Oh sometime soon.

LoL@ Jesus & Guitaratomik - Awesome ideas the both of you!
Thanks for the comments guys.
@B-Radicate - I think my low point for movies this summer was finding out that Prince Caspin was rated PG. Ugh. The trailer shows all of these huge pitched battles and epic duels and then bam... rated PG... WTF? They couldn't even go PG-13 like everyone else seems to be doing these days thanks to comic book movies.
Thats also an interesting point you bring up with Horror films. I was never a big fan of them but I know there are a lot of people that think they just kind of miss the point these days with too MUCH gore actually. Instead of intense, suspenseful scares, its mostly over the top torture porn ever since Saw ushered in the new era.
For me, horror movies can't seem to find that perfect balance. Either there is way too much, or way too little. Its a tricky thing because what people really find scary varies so much from person to person.
And on a different note, are horror movies actually intended to scare you? Or are they meant to gross you out? Or both? Arguments could be made for all of the above but I'll leave it for those that have seen their fair share of horror movies, as I have not.
