"Why are you so upset? Is it because your father threw you off a cliff?"
"Tomorrow I'm killing my father."
"I know the rabbit wasn't happy to get eaten."
These are some choice quotes from a Tekken anime YouTube video assembled by theswitcher. These and plenty more gems are within the over 10 minutes of video here. It's funny that this drops in the same week that Tekken 6 did.
Tekken's backstory and characters are borderline insane anyway, but giving it the bad anime treatment takes it over the top. Heihachi eating an axe out of mid air is something that I've always wanted to see. I just didn't know that until now.

Without constant remixing, it's funny on its own. I forgot how bad this was. I'm surprised that they didn't try to redeem it with at least a better animated tekken flick.
I lol'ed each time they went back to Heihachi eating that damn axe. Perfect timing with the bear climbing down the tree. I remember the Samurai showdown anime was pretty bad as well. Though the Fatal Fury anime was amazing.
Why did I ever pass this up in the VHS anime section baffles me. And yes, Fatal Fury was one of the better fighting video games turned anime adaptations out there.
I remember renting this when it came out and wondering how they could possibly screw it up so bad. Somehow it turns in to Jurassic Park by the end. So weird.
I just saw this with a friend a couple of days ago, the soundtrack was pretty weird too :P i think there was a song by the offspring either during the credits or somewhere at the end of the movie XD
I saw the Tekken anime years ago on some channel we used to get that specialized in showing bad asian action movies. It was not the worst anime movie I saw on that station, and that's kind of depressing.

I also noticed that at 2:51 the guy looks somewhat like Edgeworth from Phoenix Wright Ace Attorney.
Fatal Fury is amazing.Nothing beats watching Terry tearing up everyone to shreds,and if I'm not wrong,losing a girl every movie......
*rips off shirt*
But axe eating is the ultimate defence.
I must rent a copy if I can find it in a library somewhere....
