!!The film:
* ActorSharedBackground: Lateef Crowder is not only proficient in capoeira, but he's also Brazilian, making him apt to play Eddy Gordo.
* BoxOfficeBomb: The 2010 film's budget was $35 million. Its box office take? $1,696,665. Never theatrically released in America, the poor showing was especially incredible in Japan.
* CastTheExpert: They specifically cast people with real fighting experience.
* DisownedAdaptation: Katsuhiro Harada, director of the games, said the movie was terrible, and wanted the animated film ''Tekken: Blood Vengeance'' to erase this one from memory.
* DyeingForYourArt: Jon Foo went on a three month diet for the film.
* FakeIrish:
** South African actress Candice Hillebrand as Nina Williams. [[FakeAmerican Using an American accent]].
** Anna is likewise played by Marian Zipco, who is Spanish. She only says one word in the whole film though.
* FakeNationality:
** Jin is Japanese, played by the Singaporean-Irish actor Jon Foo. He was also born and raised in the UK, which is why Jin speaks with a distinct London accent.
** American actress Kelly Overton as the Brazilian Christie Monteiro.
** Cung Lee is Vietnamese-American, playing Marshall Law, who is Chinese.
** Miguel Rojo is Spanish. Roger Huerta is American.
* PromotedFanboy: Jon Foo was a huge fan of the games, and felt honored to play Jin.
* WhatCouldHaveBeen:
** When the project was first in development, original director Charles Stone III hoped to get the likes of Creator/JackieChan and Creator/JetLi to star.
** Creator/SarahPolley was also considered to play Nina.
** Gina Philips (of ''Film/JeepersCreepers'' fame) was originally cast at Anna, but had to drop out due to a pregnancy.
** Director Dwight H. Little's first choice for Jin was Ryan Merriman.
** Creator/TakeshiKaneshiro, Creator/SiennaGuillory, Susie Amy, Creator/AndySerkis, Nathan Jones, and Wrestling/KurtAngle were all at one point attached to the project.
** Ling Xiaoyou was originally intended to be a significant character and Jin's primary love interest (matching their relationship in the games), with Creator/ChiakiKuriyama in running for the role. For unknown reasons, Kuriyama dropped out of the project and the script was subsequently changed with Ling's role given to Christie.

** At one point Harada considered [[UsefulNotes/KentuckyFriedChicken Colonel Sanders]] and Red from [[VideoGame/AngryBirds]] as guests for Tekken 7.

* TalkingToHimself: The first animated movie has several cases of this.
** Kazuhiro Yamaji, Kazuya's voice actor in TheMovie, also voices Jin in the same movie.
** [[TalkingToHimself Talking To Herself]]: In ''Tekken 6'', Lisle Wilkerson voiced both Christie and Zafina. And in TheMovie, Creator/MinamiTakayama voices Nina and young Kazuya.

* NonDubbedGrunts: The series has been known to recycle clips for returning characters. While some are fortunate enough to have changed clips regularly (Hwoarang, for example), others aren't lucky. This also overlaps with TheOtherDarrin sometimes as the clips are retained despite their cutscene voices being different. On one hand, characters like Jin and Kazuya escape this - they've had the same Japanese voice actor and voice samples since ''4'' while someone like Steve underwent different voice actors but still retains his samples from ''5''.
** Notably, this meant that the [=VAs=] who were current back in 2012 (around the ''6''/''Tag 2''-era) were only able to record grunts and fight sounds starting from ''Street Fighter X Tekken''. This was a lot more noticeable considering how that specific era saw some characters being voiced by more prominent English talent, such as Creator/LiamOBrien, Creator/PatrickSeitz, Creator/DavidVincent and Creator/MaryElizabethMcGlynn, as opposed to the pool of foreign voice actors taken from in Japan.
** TwoVoicesOneCharacter: Overlaps with the above trope. For the majority of the roster who do not originate from Asia or speak languages from that region (like Lars and Alisa speaking Japanese despite representing Sweden and Russia, respectively), there have often been discrepancies with their battle grunts and cutscene dialogue where it is made clear that two separate actors are providing the voices. For example, characters like Eddy and Julia retain their voice grunts from ''5'' despite getting more prominent English voice actors in ''6'', and in Eddy's case, lost ''that'' in favor of a native speaker of Brazilian Portuguese in ''Tag 2'' (similar treatment applies to characters from non-English territories who spoke the language in previous games).
* OldShame: If Harada's comments about Free-To-Play games in a recent developer roundtable were any indication, it seems that he was a bit disappointed on how ''Tekken Revolution'' turned out in the end.

** For reasons Harada exasperatedly describes at length [[http://www.twitlonger.com/show/i152f8 here]], the developers couldn't possibly retain the same voice actors for most of the characters even if they wanted to. There's also a weird case in ''Tag 2'' wherein the returning European language-speaking characters (Eddy, Christie, Lili, Miguel, Leo) now have lines in their native tongues, yet still retain their original battle cries from ''6''.

** Nina was previously voiced by Lisle Wilkerson in ''Tekken 4'', but was replaced by Creator/MaryElizabethMcGlynn in ''Tekken 5''. Her battle cries in the earlier ''Tekken'' games, meanwhile, were provided by Creator/YumiTouma (yes, Nina's earlier voice actress later went on to voice ''Xiaoyu''!). Creator/ErikaHarlacher took over Nina's English voice duties in ''Bloodline''.
** Creator/ToshiyukiMorikawa voiced Hwoarang from ''3'' up to ''4'' with the latter speaking with a mix of English and Japanese. All of his spoken lines in-game were replaced with Jung Goo Lee's lines when ''4'' was released internationally and was then fully replaced by Sang Hyeon Um from ''5'' onwards.

* ActorAllusion: During the end of Noctis' reveal trailer, Lars screwed up Noctis' fishing attempt with a sneeze and apologized with the words "Sumanai". It might look like nothing had it not been the fact that Lars was voiced by Creator/JunichiSuwabe who voiced a character in ''VideoGame/FateGrandOrder'' [[MemeticMutation memetically linked with the word "Sumanai"]] [[labelnote:Explanation]]Siegfried, a 4-Star Saber [[TierInducedScrappy with bad stats]] and tendency to say "Sumanai" as if apologizing for his bad performance, it's a meme to [[FanNickname call Siegfried 'Sumanai']] and even Suwabe himself sometimes goes along with the joke.[[/labelnote]]

* AdaptationalEarlyAppearance: The anime Tekken Bloodlines, which is based on Tekken 3, features Leroy Smith, Feng Wei and Craig Marduk entering the tournament, despite being introduced in later games. Only Leroy has any involvement in the plot, however.
* AdaptationalExplanation: In Tekken 3, Jin was trained by his mother Jun and has some of her moves, but also has some of his father Kazuya's moves even though he never knew him. Tekken Bloodlines resolves this by saying Heihachi taught him Mishima style karate and that he should combine the styles he knew into a unique moveset. It also explains the reason his pants had a flame motif (beyond signaling to players his status as Kazuya's son); they represent the house fire left in the aftermath of Ogre's attack.
* AdaptedOut: Although it is (roughly) set at the time of Tekken 3, Tekken Bloodlines doesn't feature a single mention of the Jack robots. This is a contrast to the previous anime Tekken: The Motion Picture which has a large role for Jack-2.

* NamesTheSame: Here's something interesting. One of Jun's command techniques in ''Tag 2'', the Housenka (uf+4,3 for those familiar with ''Tekken'' move notations), is the same name as one of [[VideoGame/StreetFighterIV Chun-Li's ultra combos.]]
** Eliza, the new character in ''Tekken Revolution'', has the same name as [[VideoGame/StreetFighterII Ken Masters' wife]], a [[VideoGame/FinalFight knife-wielding Mad Gear member]], and a [[VideoGame/{{Skullgirls}} fellow vampiress]].
** A butler named "Sebastian"? [[Manga/BlackButler Where have we heard]] [[Anime/ZoidsNewCentury that one before?]]
** Real-life example, but Anna and Nina’s father, Richard Williams, shares his full name with the [[Creator/RichardWilliams legendary animator]] behind Film/WhoFramedRogerRabbit and WesternAnimation/TheThiefAndTheCobbler. He also shares his name with the father of UsefulNotes/{{Tennis}} champion sisters Venus and Serena Williams.

* ActorAllusion:
** An aversion in ''Tekken 7'' when there are costumes based on ''VideoGame/TheIdolmaster''. Kazumi received Chihaya's costume in spite of being voiced by [[Creator/YumiHara Takane's VA]].
** During the end of Noctis' reveal trailer, Lars screwed up Noctis' fishing attempt with a sneeze and apologized with the words "Sumanai". It might look like nothing had it not been the fact that Lars was voiced by Creator/JunichiSuwabe who voiced a character in ''VideoGame/FateGrandOrder'' [[MemeticMutation memetically linked with the word "Sumanai"]] [[labelnote:Explanation]]Siegfried, a 4-Star Saber [[TierInducedScrappy with bad stats]] and tendency to say "Sumanai" as if apologizing for his bad performance, it's a meme to [[FanNickname call Siegfried 'Sumanai']] and even Suwabe himself sometimes goes along with the joke.[[/labelnote]]

There's also a weird case in ''Tag 2'' wherein the returning European language-speaking characters (Eddy, Christie, Lili, Miguel, Leo) now have lines in their native tongues, yet still retain their original battle cries from ''6''.
** Averted in Kazuya's case. Contrary to popular belief, Creator/ToshiyukiMorikawa has not been voicing Kaz since ''4''. Instead, it has been Masanori Shinohara. According to the Japanese Wikipedia, Creator/JojiNakata voiced Kazuya back in ''1'', ''2'', and ''Tag''.
** Marshall Law's voice actor (not counting the [[NonDubbedGrunts high-pitched warcries]]) changed from Robert Clotworthy in ''5'' to Creator/DavidVincent in ''6''. Harada stated in an interview that for the longest time, he did the battle cries for Law.
** Shiho Kikuchi voiced Kunimitsu and Jun in ''2'' and ''Tag''. As of their reappearances in ''Tag 2'', they're now voiced by Creator/MegumiToyoguchi and Creator/MamikoNoto respectively.

* TheOriginalDarrin: The Japanese dub of ''Tekken: Bloodline'' brought back Creator/ToshiyukiMorikawa and Creator/YumiTouma as Hwoarang and Nina since they last voiced them in ''4'' and ''Tag 1'' respectively. Averted with Xiaoyu as her voice is still provided by Creator/MaayaSakamoto.

** The first ''Tekken'' was this to the first ''Virtua Fighter''. Both were pioneers of the 3D fighting game subgenre by having their characters use polygons instead of sprites and have full 3D battlefields. The former had stages entirely with no walls while the latter incorporated used the ring-out system.

* AdaptationalExplanation: In Tekken 3, Jin was trained by his mother Jun and has some of her moves, but also has some of his father Kazuya's moves even though he never knew him. Tekken Bloodlines resolves this by saying Heihachi taught him Mishima style karate and that he should combine the styles he knew into a unique moveset.

** Real-life example, but Anna and Nina’s father, Richard Williams, shares his full name with the [[{{Creator/RichardWilliams}} legendary animator]] behind Film/WhoFramedRogerRabbit and WesternAnimation/TheThiefAndTheCobbler. He also shares his name with the father of UsefulNotes/{{Tennis}} champion sisters Venus and Serena Williams.

** Katsuhiro Harada [[http://kotaku.com/why-everyones-freaking-out-over-a-controversial-tekken-1669473004 stated via Twitter]] that Lucky Chloe, a controversial new characters in ''Tekken 7'', will not be available in the North American version of the game, and jokingly hinted North American players will get a muscular skinhead-type character instead. Michael Murray said he was [[TrollingCreator trolling fans]], which was confirmed when she was included in the U.S arcade release.
* NonDubbedGrunts: The series has been known to recycle clips for returning characters on occasion. While some are fortunate enough to have changed clips regularly (Hwoarang, for example), others aren't lucky. This also overlaps with TheOtherDarrin sometimes as the clips are retained despite their cutscene voices being different. On one hand, characters like Jin and Kazuya escape this - they've had the same Japanese voice actor and voice samples since ''4'' while someone like Steve underwent different voice actors but still retains his samples from ''5''.

** TwoVoicesOneCharacter: Overlaps with the above trope. For the majority of the roster who do not originate from Asia or speak languages from that region (like Lars and Alisa speaking Japanese despite representing Sweden and Russia respectively), there have often been discrepancies with their battle grunts and cutscene dialogue where it is made clear that two seperate actors are providing the voices. For example, characters like Eddy and Julia retain their voice grunts from ''5'' despite getting more prominent English voice actors in ''6'', and in Eddy's case, lost ''that'' in favor a native speaker of Brazilian Portugese in ''Tag 2'' (similar treatment applies to characters from non-English territories who spoke the language in previous games).

** Shiho Kikuchi voiced both Kunimitsu and Jun in ''2'' and ''Tag''. As of their reappearances in ''Tag 2'', they're now voiced by Creator/MegumiToyoguchi and Creator/MamikoNoto respectively.

** In Heihachi's case, Creator/DaisukeGori has succeeded Creator/BanjoGinga since ''3''. After Gori's suicide, Creator/UnshoIshizuka took over from ''Anime/TekkenBloodVengeance'' to ''7'' until his own passing. The role eventually passed on to Creator/TaitenKusunoki starting with the Japanese dub of ''Tekken: Bloodline''.

** Creator/ToshiyukiMorikawa voiced Hwoarang from ''3'' up to ''4'' with the latter speaking with a mix of English and Japanese. All of his spoken lines in-game was replaced with Jung Goo Lee's lines when ''4'' released internationally and was then fully replaced by Sang Hyeon Um from ''5'' onwards.

* TrollingCreator: Katsuhiro Harada is infamous for doing this on his Twitter ''constantly''. The biggest one being him saying that [[AmericansHateTingle Lucky Chloe]] will be removed from the US version and replaced with a muscular [[BaldOfEvil skinhead]] in response to some hate tweets. This added even more fuel to the fire in forums, even though he's joking.[[note]]As of December 11, 2014, Michael Murray, a senior designer at Bandai Namco, already confirmed that Harada was joking.[[/note]] Basically, he is to Namco as Creator/HidekiKamiya is to Creator/PlatinumGames.
** This backfired on Harada in the leadup to ''Tekken 7'''s home release, when an obvious joke answer from an interview where he said animal rights activists prevented Roger Jr. from appearing in ''7'' got picked up by a number of gaming websites as the actual reason the character didn't show up. Harada had to [[https://twitter.com/Harada_TEKKEN/status/857759327628566528 clear it up on Twitter]] that he was joking and the answer was an example of how hard it is to keep the fanbase happy about the game's roster selections.
** And the sentiment for the above led into the infamous "Don't ask me for SHIT" T-shirt. Since then, he's continued to be humorously dismissive of entitled fan demands, even tweeting replies to the people who make unreasonable expections of ''other'' game developers. While he does disagree with fan assumptions and expectations (of character inclusions specifically), he is receptive to genuine fan interest and questions.

** Jun was DummiedOut in ''Tekken 3''. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rK9K3mZeNr0 It's actually Jin's moveset and Nina's body, but the coding is Jun's, complete with Jun's voice and a Vs. portrait.]] The dev team most likely planned to include her, but then decided to go with the current plot.

** A PC port of the original ''Tekken'' was announced in 1996, alongside ports of other Namco arcade games like ''[[VideoGame/RidgeRacer Rave Racer]]'' and ''[[VideoGame/AceCombat Air Combat 22]]'', but after that announcement nothing came of it.

* CowboyBebopAtHisComputer: Upon the release of ''Tekken 5'', a Spanish magazine launched an article about the characters of the game, which turned out to be a specially atrocious example of misinformation. The article had Craig Marduk labeled as "Marshall Law", presented Ling Xiayou as come from the future (presumably a misunderstanding from her goal to build a time machine to change the past) and said that [[FlatWhat Yoshimitsu was Ogre's son]].

* AdaptationalEarlyAppearance: The anime Tekken Bloodlines, which is based on Tekken 3, introduces Leroy Smith, Feng Wei and Craig Marduk who were all introduced in later games. Only Leroy has any involvement in the plot, however.

* CreatorsFavorite: Katsuhiro Harada has said it's Heihachi Mishima, a character who has never missed a ''Tekken'' game (even though canonically he isn't supposed to be in ''5'').

** Real-life example, but Anna and Nina’s father, Richard Williams, shares his full name with the [[{{Creator/RichardWilliams}} legendary animator]] behind Film/WhoFramedRogerRabbit and WesternAnimation/TheThiefAndTheCobbler.

** Nina was previously voiced by Lisle Wilkerson in ''Tekken 4'', but was replaced by Creator/MaryElizabethMcGlynn in ''Tekken 5''. Her battle cries in the earlier ''Tekken'' games, meanwhile, were provided by Creator/YumiTouma (yes, Nina's earlier voice actress later went on to voice ''Xiaoyu''!).

** Xiaoyu was originally voiced by Creator/YumiTouma from her debut in ''Tekken 3'' all the way to ''Tekken 6''. The role was recast to Creator/MaayaSakamoto in ''Blood Vengeance''. It seems like this will stick, as Sakamoto reprised her role in ''Tekken Tag Tournament 2''.
** Julia Chang has gone through three changes in voice actresses: Cara Jones voiced her in her ''Tekken 3'' ending (Creator/HiromiTsuru did her battle cries there and also voiced her in ''Tag''), while Kimberly Forsythe did her voice in ''Tekken 4''. Annie Wood took over Julia's dialogue and voice cries in ''Tekken 5'', but since ''Tekken 6'', her dialogues [[spoiler: and by extension, Jaycee's]] have been provided by Creator/StephanieSheh.

* TheOriginalDarrin: The Japanese dub of ''Tekken: Bloodline'' brought back Creator/ToshiyukiMorikawa and Creator/YumiTouma as Hwoarang and Nina since they last voiced them''4'' and ''Tag 1'' respectively. Averted with Xiaoyu as her voice is still provided by Creator/MaayaSakamoto.

** Jung Goo Lee (''Tekken 4'') was replaced by Sang Hyeon Um from ''5'' and on. In ''3'', meanwhile, Creator/ToshiyukiMorikawa provided Hwoarang's VoiceGrunting.

** In Heihachi's case, Creator/DaisukeGori has succeeded Creator/BanjoGinga since ''3''. After Gori's suicide, Creator/UnshoIshizuka took over as of ''Anime/TekkenBloodVengeance'' to ''7'' until his own passing.

* FanNickname:
** Heihachi apparently has a lot of these:
*** Mystic [[RatedMForManly Manly]] Heihachi [[PrecisionFStrike Muthafuckin']] Mishima Bentley, Jr., which is usually abbreviated as Mystic Man Bentley or MMB.
*** Polish players reffer him as Heniek/Henio, which is a diminutive form of Henry.
*** [[UsefulNotes/PuertoRico Puerto Ricans]], who have a ''very'' healthy and active ''Tekken''-playing community, call him "El Viejo Cabrón", which roughly translates to "The Fucking Old Guy." The word ''cabrón'' in Puertorican Spanish can refer to both someone who's completely awesome and someone who's a complete dick... both apt descriptions for Heihachi.
** Due to Hwoarang's name being hard to spell by Western players, he got nicknamed Bob. But now that there's an actual Bob on the roster... Fans now spell Bob (the nickname, [[FunWithAcronyms which stands for]] '''B'''oy '''O'''n '''B'''ike) as BOB to differentiate it from the actual character.
** Julia is sometimes called "[[Franchise/TouhouProject Sumireko]]", as people have pointed out that she looks strikingly similar to her.
** When Jaycee was first revealed in the initial trailers for ''[=TTT2=]'', she was given the nickname "Queen" in deference to the existing male luchador King.
** Fans were quick to dub Yoshimitsu's new look in ''Tekken 7'' as "Hentaimitsu", due to him having several octopus tentacles adorning his armor.
** In Japan, Claudio is referred to as "Osse", which is his line of dialogue where his hand becomes engulfed in blue energy. His odd spin kick is also called "Genocide Cutter", based on Rugal's move in The King of Fighters (KOF). (The actual name on his movelist is "Sky Slash Nova," for those who are curious.) His running punch is also referred to as "Superman Punch" or "Burn Knuckle", the latter an attack of Terry Bogard, also from KOF. And then Geese Howard, a villain from the KOF universe, made his Tekken debut. How "predictabo."
** Dragunov is often affectionately called "Sir Gay", an intentional LyricSwap of his first name (Sergei). Asuka is also referred to as "Oscar" while Bryan is referred to as "Byron" for the same reason.
** Kazumi is occasionally called Tiger Mama due to effctively being the Mishima Family Matriarch (being Kazuya's mother, Lee's adoptive mother, and Jin's grandmother) as well as being able to summon her pet tiger during a fight at any given time.
** Paul's Phoenix Smasher (qcf+2), and other moves similar to it, are called "Deathfists" by the playerbase, as the move tends to do absurdly high damage, especially if it ends up being a counter hit.
** The Mishima Spinning Demon (f,N,d,df+4) and any similar unseeable high damage knockdown sweep are called Hellsweeps. Considering the description, it shouldn't come as a surprise that these are hell to block... but in turn they're also ''[[DeathOrGloryAttack hell for the user themselves]]'' if blocked, as they are usually launch punishable.
*** Similarly, any relatively slow but often high-damaging evasive low sweeps that give a full (usually high damage) combo on hit and are homing are often called Snake Edges after Bryan's move of the same name (df+3).
** Kazumi's Tiger Wind Uppercut (df+2) is, for all intents and purposes, a ''literal [[ShoutOut Tiger]] [[VideoGame/StreetFighter Uppercut]]''... as in, she uses an ''actual tiger'' to launch the opponent skywards.
** A glitch for Lei Wulong involving canceling his back-turn stance for an alternative means of backdashing became known as the "Ha Ha Step", since every time it was performed Lei would constantly make battle grunts that sounded like he was laughing when strung together. It has since become an AscendedGlitch.
** Leroy has earned the nickname "Old [[WebVideo/TwoBestFriendsPlay Woolie]]", owing to his dreadlocks.
** The newest character, Fahkumram, has been instantly christened "[[YourMom Fuck Ur Mom]]" by the fans due to being unable to properly pronounce his name and his intimidating appearance. He is alternatively known as "Fuck You Man".
** "[[TheCutie Cutiemitsu]]" for Kunimitsu II, due to fans finding [[Creator/SaoriHayami her voice]], appearance, and more open personality compared to her mother cute.
*** Some fans have also noted that Kunimitsu II bears a striking resemblance to [[Manga/OnePunchMan Speed-o-Sound Sonic]] (and to a lesser extent, [[VideoGame/ApexLegends Wraith]]). Funnily enough, Kunimitsu also shares a voice actress with ''[[Creator/SaoriHayami Fubuki]]'', of all people!
** [[VideoGame/TheWitcher3 Ciri]] for Lidia. Amusingly enough, there's even a [[https://www.deviantart.com/monkeygigabuster/art/Tekken-7-mod-The-Witcher-3-Ciri-outfit-for-Lidia-874313703 mod]] that has Lidia cosplaying as Ciri herself! Some also consider her to be Paul's DistaffCounterpart due to her hard-hitting fighting style, similar appearance, and the same {{Kiai}} - OSU!
