9	* BestKnownForTheFanservice: A more downplayed example compared to [[Anime/StreetFighterIITheAnimatedMovie Chun-Li’s shower scene,]] but more than a few fans ''definitely'' remember this movie because of Anna’s.
10	* CompleteMonster: [[AdaptationalVillainy Lee Chaolan]] is the adoptive son of Heihachi Mishima seeking to [[WellDoneSonGuy gain his respects]] in order to be the new heir of the [[MegaCorp Mishima Conglomerate]] and use its resources to TakeOverTheWorld, even trying to kill his own adoptive brother to accomplish it. Lee helps his father by carrying out experiments on endangered animals to make them into bio-weapons for the Mishima Conglomerate. Lee has fighters [[NotJustATournament join his father's tournament]] and use it as a means to experiment on them, releasing the R-Experiments onto the fighters to kill all of them, with his two lovers being eaten alive. When Lee was denied by Heihachi as the true successor for the corporation, he decides to kill all of the scientists and set the island to self-destruct to kill everyone, in order to be the sole inheritor of the company.
11	* HarsherInHindsight: Kazuya in ''The Motion Picture'' is depicted in part as a MommasBoy who kept a picture of his late mother, Kazumi, in a locket around his neck, before losing it when Heihachi threw him off a cliff. [[{{VideoGame/Tekken7}} Almost twenty years later]], upon Kazumi becoming ChekhovsGunman in the games' storyline, this aspect of Kazuya would be integrated as well... only for him to learn that [[spoiler:Kazumi was willing to have [[{{Franchise/StreetFighter}} Akuma]] kill him if he ever turned out evil, to which he both expresses shock and sorrow over the cherished memory of his mother being tarnished and can only laugh at the absurdity of yet ''another'' family member of his wanting him dead]].
12	* MemeticMutation: '''"RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH!!! I'LL NEVER GIVE IT UP!!! NOT TO ANYONE!!! GRRRRRRRRRRR!!!"'''[[labelnote:Explanation]]Lee's [[ChewingTheScenery amazingly unsubtle]] VillainousBreakdown during the climax.[[/labelnote]]
13	** ''[[CaptainObvious “Why are you so upset? Is it because your father threw you off that cliff?”]]'' [[labelnote:Explanation]]People tend to bring up this gem from the dub every time the movie is brought up because it’s such a stupid question for one to ask to a friggin’ MISHIMA and yet it’s delivered with honest-to-God gravitas. Also to indicate the cheesiness of the whole movie.[[/labelnote]]
14	* NarmCharm: [[https://reddit.com/r/Tekken/comments/z5obir/tekken_the_motion_picture_heihachis_speech/ Heihachi's speech near the end]]. It's ''incredibly'' overdramatic, but it surprisingly also gives Heihachi quite a bit of depth regarding his motivations.
15	** For some people, the rather out-of-place licensed music. After all, where else are you gonna find a scene of an anime babe taking a shower, with glimpses of her bare ass and breasts, set to Stabbing Westward's [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5NZsCYOM4j0 "Save Yourself"]]?
16	* OlderThanTheyThink: This movie is actually the first time Kazuya was shown with his now trademark scars all over his body, 5 whole years before ''Tekken 4''. And instead of getting them from when Heihachi threw him inside a volcano, here he gets them from being slashed multiple times by dinosaurs. '''[[RuleOfCool Metal.]]'''
17	** This was also the first time Anna used her signature rocket launcher, 8 years before ''Tekken 5''.
18	* RetroactiveRecognition: Lei here is voiced by Gray G. Haddock, who would then become more well-known for his voicework in ''WebAnimation/RedVsBlue'' and ''{{WebAnimation/RWBY}}.''
19	* SignatureScene:
20	** Anna Williams' shower scene, which fully shows her in the nude.
21	** Heihachi catching a tomahawk by its blades before proceeding to crush it ''with his teeth''.
22	* SoBadItsGood: Lots of {{Narm}}, cheesy voice acting and ludicrous fight scenes - what's not to like?
23	* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodCharacter:
24	** Oh cool! An anime based on Tekken? That means we’re gonna see Yoshimitsu, King and Paul fighting with that classic 90s anime flair? …wait, '''[[{{DemotedToExtra}} THEY’RE JUST BACKGROUND CHARACTERS?!]]'''
25	** Michelle is one of the few characters, in the OVA, to get a defined build up, backstory and motivation. But in the end, all it amounts to is her getting knocked out by Kazuya and staying that way for the rest of the OVA.
26	** The feud between Anna and Nina is barely explored, particularly how Anna seemed to have so many daddy issues with her father that she apparently ''murdered'' him. This revelation, by the way, happens less than a minute before she's killed.
