Out of all the gaming things Europe gets first, one had to be DOA: Dead or Alive. The film was based on Itagaki's Tecmo fighting games and stunk up the box office. The movie was so horrible that the film studio didn't screen it for some of the actors. So, the burning question: When will we see an American theatrical release? Who cares! Actress Jamie Pressley, who played Tina in the flick, said:

I can't say that I'm upset that it didn't come out. We were working with a director, Corey Yuen, who is one of the number one action and marital arts directors in the world. That's why we did the film. In the process of filming, a lot of bad stuff came up and happened, being that we were over in China in little small villages, you didn't have the means necessary to get things done like you do when you're in Hollywood. So I think between things getting lost in translation because there were four dialects going on at all times, or languages I should say, and the lack of necessities, it just didn't turn out the way that it should have. And I think for gamers, a lot of the stuff was inaccurate because they changed it along the way.

Wow, it's not only bad for gamers, but also for Hollywood types. Brian Ashcraft
