History Film / Tekken

** While the film doesn't openly state Christie and Eddie don't know each other, it doesn't states they are friends and apprentices of the same master as in the games either. They never interact onscreen, and even their fighting styles are (at least officially) different martial arts.
** In the movie, Jin and Christie start a relationship. This never happens in the games and it's pretty improbable that it will happen anytime soon due to their respective personalities and allegiances.

* AdaptationOriginConnection: In the movie, Jin's signature gloves are a gift from Fox, who claims to have used them in his own fighting career. In the videogames, Jin's gloves have no particular origin, and Fox has ''certainly'' never used them.

** [[spoiler:Yoshimitsu. See InNameOnly for details]].
** The film's version of Kazuya is devoid of his sympathetic backstory and is implied to have raped Jun (which used to be a fan theory for the games, but which was ultimately unproven and is considered improbable nowadays). He also works for Heihachi, who is his ArchEnemy in the games.

* AdaptationOriginConnection: In the movie, Jin's signature gloves are a gift from Fox, who claims to have used them in his own fighting career. In the videogames, Jin's gloves have no particular origin.

** The movie's version of Steve Fox knew Jun Kazama and apparently shared at least a tournament with her. However, these two characters have never shared a single installment of the videogame series (except the non-canon ''Tag Tournament 2'') and their canonical ages make impossible that they could know each other in history.
** Steve Fox is Nina Williams's son in the games, but they are unrelated in the film, where she is younger than him.
** While the film doesn't openly state Christie and Eddie don't know each other, it neither states they are friends and apprentices of the same master as in the games. They never interact onscreen, and even their fighting styles are (at least officially) different martial arts.

** Christie's fighting style is nominally changed from capoeira to mixed martial arts, though she still strikes out a lot of kicks, some cartwheels and a ''meia lua de compasso'' in blink-or-miss moments. However, it is clearly not considered capoeira on-screen, as she receives no relation to this version of Eddy Gordo, and a possible similarity among the two's styles is never commented.
** Miguel Rojo's style is changed from street fighting to zipota, a supposedly Spanish martial art (it counts as a double artistic license, as in real life zipota's authenticity is heavily discussed, and it is actually believed in Spain to be a foreign fabrication).

* TheCasanova: Prior to his mother's death, Jin is shown to have a girlfriend, Kara... who he promptly forgets about once he gets into Iron Fist and meets Christie, who throws herself at him within days. Especially glaring, since the film keeps cutting back to Kara during Jin's fights in the tournament.

* DanceBattler: Eddy Gordo played by Real-life capoerista Creator/LateefCrowder.

** Christie Monteiro is no longer a Brazillian capoeira fighter, having undergone a RaceLift and now fighting as a MMA fighter instead. [[JustifiedTrope Justified]] slightly for CastSpeciation due to Eddy Gordo also being in the film and faithful to the the character in the games, although the film removes Eddy and Christie's relationship from the games.

** The second film is even more in-name-only. The first one at least has a fighting tournament and characters from the games, the sequel doesn't even have that much.

** Paul Phoenix is mentioned to have been knocked out by Marshall Law in less than 30 seconds.

* RaceLift: Christie played by white actress Creator/KellyOverton. Fans were never going to be happy no matter what race the actress was considering there are debates about Christie being black, Hispanic, Italian and even Asian. Anna is also played by a Spanish actress though she only has one line and she probably could pass for a Irish girl with a tan.

* SmallNameBigEgo: Miguel Rojo, whose noted as being incredibly arrogant. It counts on a meta example, as he had not yet been introduced in the games.

* SternTeacher: Jun to her son. As a young boy she'd put him in choke holds he can't break free of, trying to impress upon Jin not to quit, ever.
* TheStinger: [[spoiler:A wounded Kazuya walks past the holding cells at the arena, before the scene cuts back to Heihachi's final words, only for the scene to continue & reveal that Heihachi ordered his executioner to stand down, and that the Jack obeyed him]].

* TorosYFlamenco: The producers thought Miguel Caballero Rojo's street fighting style wasn't Spanish enough, so they changed it for a Basque martial art named Zipota. However, in real life Zipota is completely unknown in Spain and is widely considered to be a fraud made up by its Texan promoter.

** Miguel Rojo is changed from a honorable character with a legitimate desire of revenge to a generic AxCrazy.

* CrapsackWorld: And it makes the one in ''Tekken 6'' look like a vactation spot.

* MaleGaze: There are plenty of shots of Christie's low-cut pants.
* MistakenForPervert: In Christie's first scene, Jin is staring at her... because he's admiring the positioning of her toes. Later subverted when Jin actually ''does'' enjoy the view while standing behind her.
--> '''Christie:''' Looking at my ass is a good way to get yours kicked.

* RaceLift: Christie. Fans were never going to be happy no matter what race the actress was considering there are debates about Christie being black, Hispanic, Italian and even Asian. Anna is also played by a Spanish actress though she only has one line and she probably could pass for a Irish girl with a tan.

** Heihachi is turned from the arrogant villain he is in the games to an infinitely more honorable OldMaster. [[spoiler:Ultimately subverted in the after-credits scene, which implies the whole movie was [[TheChessmaster Heihachi playing everything to his favor]].]]

** The film's version of Kazuya is devoid of his sympathetic backstory and is implied to have raped Jun (which used to be a fan theory, but was ultimately unproven and is considered improbable nowadays). He also works for Heihachi, who is his ArchEnemey in the games.

** The movie's version of Steve Fox knew Jun Kazama and apparently shared at least a tournament with her. However, these two characters have never shared a single installment of the videogame series (except the non-canon ''Tag Tournament 2'') and their canonical ages make impossible that they knew each other in history.
** Steve Fox is Nina Williams's son in the games, but they are unrelated in the film.
** While the film doesn't openly state Christie and Eddie don't know each other, it neither states they are friends and apprentices of the same master as in the games. They never interact onscreen and even their fighting styles are different.

** In this film, Steve Fox is bald, aged and well into his fourties, apparently around the same age as Jun. In the games, he is a much younger man, to the point that even his mother, Nina Williams (who in this film could be his daughter), might be younger than Jun as well. Amusingly enough, Fox cannot be customized to sport a bald head in the games.

* BlackDudeDiesFirst: Eddy Gordo gets knocked out of the tournament first round. [[spoiler:Of course, this means he's no longer in the tournament when Kazuya changes the rules so the fights are to the death, at which Dragunov is the first to die in the tournament]].

** Kazuya was never thrown off a cliff by his father when he was a child, and looks ''nothing'' like the character in the games - it's so bad that if you watched the trailer without knowledge that ''this'' was Kazuya, you'd be questioning who the hell Ian Anthony Dale was meant to be.

%%* MistakenForPervert: In Christie's first scene, Jin is staring at her... because he's admiring the positioning of her feet. Later subverted when Jin actually ''does'' enjoy the view while standing behind her.

** [[spoiler:Although it was averted as seen in TheStinger, the Jackhammer ordered to kill Heihachi to self-detonation is a reference to how Heihachi presumably died at the beginning of 5, and Kazuya, who in the games fed Heihachi to the Jack-4s, ironically says Raven's "Heihachi Mishima is dead."]]

* LeParkour: The first time Jin is seen, he's running across rooftops smuggling equipment to a resistance group. Fittingly, the film is choreographed by Cyril Raffelli, a known traceur.
* PlotHole: The tournament has ten participants, which would not work. After the first round there would be five left, making semi-finals quite tricky. Additionally Anna Williams is listed as a participant and yet never fights a match, and Yoshimitsu advances to the semi-finals automatically. It is possible that the Williams sisters only count as one participant (i.e. if Nina fights then Anna doesn't) since they're introduced together by Kazuya when he's running through them. It's likely possible that Bryan Fury, as the champion, automatically is in the final match. However, it's not elaborated, making the tournament seem a bit all over the place.

** In the movie, Jin and Christie start a relationship. This never happenes in the games and it's pretty improbable that it will happen anytime soon due to their respective personalities and allegiances.
** The alignement of Nina and Anna Williams varies from game to game, but it's safe to say they are ''never'' in the same side. The movie opts to present them together as a team that works for the bad guys.

** Steve Fox is Nina William's daughter on the games, but they are unrelated in the film.

** The film's version of Kazuya is devoid of his sympathetic backstory and is implied to have raped Jun (which used to be a fan theory for many years, but ultimately unproven and considered improbable nowadays). He also leads the Tekken Corporation along with Heihachi, which contrasts with the videogame series, where Heihachi is his ArchEnemey.

** Marshall Law is a ArrogantKungFuGuy with a random Asian characterization instead of a humorous, good-natured BruceLeeClone.
** The alignement of Nina and Anna Williams varies from game to game, but it's safe that they are ''never'' in the same side. The movie opts to present them together and as a team.

** The movie's version of Steve Fox knew Jun Kazama and apparently shared at least a tournament with her. However, these two characters have never shared a single installment of the videogame series (except the non-canon ''Tag Tournament 2'') and their ages make impossible that they knew each other in history.
** In the movie, Jin and Christie Montero start a relationship. This never happenes in the games and it's pretty improbable that it will happen anytime soon due to their respective personalities and allegiances.

** In this film, Steve Fox is bald, aged and well into his fourties, apparently around the same age as Jun. In the games, he is a much younger man, to the point that even his mother would be probably younger than Jun as well (n the videogames, his mother is Nina Williams, who in this film could be his daughter). Also, amusingly enough, Fox cannot be customized to sport a bald head in the games.

** Christie's fighting style is nominally changed from capoeira to mixed martial arts, though she stills strikes out a lot of kicks, some cartwheels and a ''meia lua de compasso'' in blink-or-miss moments. However, it is clearly not considered capoeira on-screen, as she receives no relation to this version of Eddy Gordo, and a possible similarity among the two's styles is never commented.

* TheCasanova: Prior to his mother's death, Jin is shown to have a girlfriend, Kara... who he promptly forgets about once he gets into Iron Fist & meets Christie, who throws herself at him within days. Especially glaring, since the film keeps cutting back to Kara during Jin's fights in the tournament.

* GoodPeopleHaveGoodSex: Despite his... [[TheCasanova questionable fidelity]], Jin and his partners generally have pretty good, mutually enjoyable sex, while Kazuya [[spoiler:has a taste for rape]] and spends his entire sex scene with the Williams sisters scowling and complaining about his father.

** Christie Monteiro is no longer a Brazillian caporeia fighter, having undergone a RaceLift and now fighting as a MMA fighter instead. [[JustifiedTrope Justified]] slightly due to Eddy Gordo also being in the film and faithful to the the character in the games, although the film removes Eddy and Christie's relationship from the games.

It's likely possible that Bryan Fury, as the champion, automatically is in the final match. But it's not elaborated, making the tournament seem a bit all over the place.

** Heihachi is a lot less of a villain in this than he is in the games [[spoiler:Ultimately subverted in the after-credits scene, which implies the whole movie was [[TheChessmaster Heihachi playing everything to his favor]].]]

** Kazuya, who is devoid of his sympathetic backstory and was implied to have raped Jun.

** Marshall Law is a ArrogantKungFuGuy instead of a humorous, good-natured guy.
* AgeLift: In this film, Steve Fox is well into his fourties, apparently around the same age as Jun, while he is a young man in the games.

* CanonForeigner: Jin's girlfriend Cara in the first film, everyone except Kazuya, Heihachi and Bryan Fury in the second.

* HoistByHisOwnPetard: Kazuya. As BadMovieBeatdown 's Film Brain put it:

* ActionGirl: Christie, Nina and Anna though only Christie really gets to show it off. In addition to winning her tournament fight she takes out a whole load of Kazuya's mooks.
* AdaptationalHeroism: Heihachi is a lot less of a villain in this than he is in the games [[spoiler:Ultimately subverted in the after-credits scene, which implies the whole movie was [[TheChessmaster Heihachi playing everything to his favor]]]]

** Kazuya was never thrown off a cliff by his father when he was a child, and looks ''nothing'' like the character in the games - It's so bad, that if you watched the trailer without knowledge that ''this'' was Kazuya, you'd be questioning who the hell Ian Anthony Dale was meant to be.
** Steve Fox, instead of being a similar age to Jin, is old enough to have fought in Iron Fist at the same time as Jun, has a shaven head & serves as Jin's mentor figure.
** Christie Monteiro is no longer a Brazillian Caporeia fighter, having undergone a RaceLift & now fighting as a MMA fighter instead - [[JustifiedTrope Justified]] slightly, due to Eddy Gordo also being in the film & faithful to the the character in the games, although the film has removed Eddy & Christie's relationship from the games.

** Miguel Rojo is stated to fall under SmallNameBigEgo, and like Marshall Law, looks & fights nothing like the character from the games. Possibly [[JustifiedTrope justified]] by the character being introduced in ''Tekken 6'', which wasn't released on consoles until after the film was shot.

** Yoshimitsu, the cyborg samurai who steals from the rich to give to the poor... Is just [[LargeHam a guy in an elaborate suit of armor]].
** For starters, [[spoiler:he seemed eager to kill Jin during their fight, and before he did so while Jin's on the ground, Kazuya looked at him after he overthrew Heihachi, and Yoshimitsu nodded, [[AdaptationalVillainy implying that Kazuya bribed him to kill Jin, like he attempted to do so with Bryan]]]].

* MistakenForPervert: In Christie's first scene, Jin is staring at her...because he's admiring the positioning of her feet. Later subverted when Jin actually ''does'' enjoy the view while standing behind her.

** One of the decor seen in the arena is the same statue from the Hell's Gate/Heaven's Gate stage/s from Tekken 5/Dark Ressurection.

* RaceLift: Christie. Fans were never going to be happy no matter what race the actress was considering there are debates about Christie being black, Hispanic, Italian and even Asian. Anna is also played by a Spanish actress though she only has one line and she probably could pass for a white girl with a tan.

* SelfMadeOrphan: Kazuya pulls this on Heihachi. [[spoiler:It just doesn't actually work since the Jackhammers are still loyal to Heihachi]]. Averted with Jin, [[spoiler:who refuses to sink to Kazuya's level & kill him]].

* BlackDudeDiesFirst: Eddy Gordo gets knocked out of the tournament first round. [[spoiler:Of course, this means he's no longer in the tournament when Kazuya changes the rules so the fights are to the death, at which Dragunov is the first to die in the tournament]].

** [[spoiler: Subverted in the after-credits scene, which implies the whole movie was [[TheChessmaster Heihachi playing everything to his favor]]]]
* AdaptationalVillainy: [[spoiler:Yoshimitsu. See InNameOnly for details]].

* TheDragon: Bryan seems to be this, though is reasons are DraognWithAnAgenda, since [[spoiler:Kazuya blackmailed him with knowledge of his cybernetics, and that they're illegal in tournaments]].

* FauxActionGirl: Nina.

* LeParkour: The first time Jin is seen, he's running across rooftops smuggling equipment to a resistance group.

* NoSell: Bryan Fury pulls this.

* [[YouKilledMyFather You Killed My Mother]]: Jin witnessed his mother's death at the hands of Tekken's Jackhammers, and justifiably blames Heihachi for her death, even saying this verbatim to him. [[SubvertedTrope Subverted]], as Heihachi argues that he saved her life after [[spoiler:Kazuya raped her]], as Kazuya would've killed her later if he had found out she was pregnant with Jin.

* {{Badass}}: Jin, Yushimitsu, Bryan Furry, Heihachi.

* {{Badass}}: Jin, Yushimitsu, Kayuza, Heihachi.
