Synopsis
Kazuya seeks revenge on father Heihachi in a tournament; others investigate cloning while fighters compete for $1 billion.
After being thrown off a cliff as a child, Kazuya Mishima enters the King of Iron Fist Tournament to extract revenge from his father, multi-billionaire Heihachi Mishima. Meanwhile, WWWC operative Jun Kazama and Hong Kong detective Lei Wulong also enter the tournament to investigate on Heihachi's illegal activities involving cloning and genetic engineering. A handful of other skilled fighters are also in it merely to win the grand prize of $1 billion, not knowing of the true purpose of the tournament and fate that awaits them. (Source: ANN)

- 1 “Utter and utter garbage. It fails at being a decent adaptation of a video game franchise and does so magnificently. As if the makers of this flick did not even as so much glance at the source...”
