First Look at Jon Foo as Jin Kazama in Tekken Movie
Movie Images, Tekken (2010) Movie — By Nix on February 17, 2009
With that Chun Li chick and those crazy kids and their juggling dragonballs hogging all the game-to-movie spotlight, it’s easy to forget that they’re also making a live-action movie based on the popular Tekken fighting game. Okay, “forget” is not the right word, pretty much “hoping it doesn’t look nearly as bad as the other two movies” would probably be more in line with what gaming fans are thinking right now.
But just in case you still have hope for this movie, here’s your first look at British actor Jon Foo in character as Jin Kazama from the movie via his official site. And don’t worry, kids. Jon Foo isn’t some fancy schmancy actor they plucked out of TV land to star in this sure-to-be (hopefully) hard-hitting movie. After the pics, check out Foo’s video resume.
(Thanks to reader Tekken King for the heads up.)

That dude is pretty darn good if I had to say so myself.
Finally! Finally! Finally! Finally! Just when I thought all hope was lost… what with Goku being played by a non asian and a Street Fighter movie that centers around Chun Li that looks like a Student film…Finally they found a guy that can actually play the part that the role demands. I remember this guy from Tony Jaa’s third film. So as soon as I heard they were going to do a movie about Tekken, I thought of this guy. Now let’s hope “King of Fighters” Recruit some good talent.
u r an idiot. goku is not asian he is alien
HAHA, Goku was an ASIAN alien actually ;p
so your saying Justin Chatwin can’t play Goku?
remember Heath Ledger… everyone said he was only good for drama and comedy… then came the 2nd top grossing film of all time.
Joon Foo can fight alright… he doesnt act good though, and as i recall, movies were about acting.
and i dont see anyone complaining he DONT LOOK LIKE JIN KAZAMA since Kazuya has an aquiline nose which the WHITES have
lets not start the race war with this one. you cant make these guys a different race considering there heritage is given in brief profiles throught out most tekken games. glad to hear about tekken and lookin more forward to it each day
This movie can be a hige box office smash hit if done properly…
the cast from what i’ve heard sounds live,
get jackie chan as lei wu long (whoever you spell his name)
….oh yeah and include KING, i heard he’s not in the film
theres so much potential for the cast, haha arny as Jack!
This Jon Foo dude look’s cool. In my opinion, he looks more like Son Goku.
I think he would’ve made an AWESOME Goku.
Well if they push up a litlle the hair at the back of his head he will look really good but they should make the hair good it’s a trademark of jin.
holy crap! i can’t believe this!
he is hot, well he doesnt look like jin
he looks amazing!!!!
