THE VISUALLY STUNNING CG ANIMATED FEATURE BASED ON THE SMASH-HIT VIDEO GAME SERIES.
Prepare yourself for a severe case of eye candy overload courtesy of director Youichi Mouri’s brand new, full-length CG feature film, Tekken: Blood Vengeance, based on the phenomenally successful video game franchise and coming to DVD on 6th February 2012.
Scripted by the hugely talented Dai Sato, whose impressive list of previous writing credits includes “Ghost In The Shell: Stand Alone Complex”, “Cowboy Bebop”, “Eden Of The East”, “Casshern” and “Samurai Champloo”, Tekken: Blood Vengeance is a visually stunning work of CG animation that brings together sexy ass-kicking heroes and heroines, winged mutant monsters, awesome mecha weaponry, bone-crunching martial arts action, a super-hot android and a panda (yes, a panda!) in one explosive package of mind-blowing entertainment.
When two conflicting organizations, the Mishima Zaibatsu and G Corporation, begin a search for the host of a mysterious M gene, believed to be a key to immortality, they each employ one of two sisters, Nina and Anna Williams, fearsome assassins with a bitter rivalry between them. The gene is thought to be carried by a high school student name Shin Kamiya, which prompts G Corp operative Anna to enlist a female student, Ling Xiaoyu, to make contact with Shin and spy on him. Meanwhile, Nina, working for Mishima Zaibatsu, has sent an android, Alisa Bosconovitch, into the fray. As the shocking details regarding Shin’s past come to light, Xiaoyu and Alisa, originally enemies, become unlikely allies in a fierce battle against their respective employers’ corrupt covert forces and, ultimately, the devastating forces of an ancient evil.
Delivering all the beautifully rendered and superbly choreographed thrill-a-minute combat action one would expect from a Tekken movie – as well as much, much more – Tekken: Blood Vengeance is the ultimate Tekken experience, one like no other.
Tekken: Blood Vengeance (cert. 12) will be released on DVD (£15.99) by Manga Entertainment on 6th February 2012.
