Tekken Blood Vengeance (2010)-Animated movie

The movie is an animated movie, which based on the video game Tekken. Many things were exaggerated in this one. Many of them don’t obey the law of physics.

1/Speed, inertia:

• ·         In the beginning of the movie, there was a scene in which a girl, Xiaoyu, riding a panda with the speed of racing car. However, when the panda stopped abruptly, the girl didn’t fall off even though she was moving at high speed only a second before that.
• ·         Similarly, the panda proved his unrealistic speed when he could run on water easily.
• ·         Another scene is where 2 characters (Jin and Kazuya) were fighting each other. Jin became fast enough to move at high speed. The speed is so great that he almost disappeared when moving, and suddenly stopped completely in front of the other one.

2/Gravity:

• ·         In one of fighting scenes, a dagger stopped in mid-air when it almost hit the eyes of Xiaoyu. It was slowed enough she could flipped back and dodge it.
• ·         Another scene is when a man (Shin) fell off from a building. He stopped in mid-air. Similarly, it gave Xiaoyu a big gap of time so that she could jump on the nearby tree and bounce off to catch him in the air.
• ·         In a 3-way battle, Heihachi was able to hit his son, Kayuza, multiple hits because Kayuza didn’t fall to the ground , and got stuck in the stream of hit.

3/Force, impact:

• ·         During the first battle, Kayuza could use his bare foot to crush through multiple floors. This implies that the force of his foot was greater than the impact from the floors.
• ·         In several scenes after that, Heihachi utilized his inhuman power to kick Jin and send him fly off. This resulted in many knocked down giant pillars.
• ·         With the intent to kill Heihachi, Jin also used his fist to knock through stone wall and threw Heihachi down to the river. The force from his fist could equal to a tank.

Many of these proofs are unrealistic. Since it’s a fantasy animated movie, things were pushed to its extreme to show give the audience lots of drama.
