Tekken (鉄拳) is a 1990 Japanese film directed by Junji Sakamoto. It stars Takeshi Yamato, Bunta Sugawara and Karen Kirishima.
The plot centers around a young ex-prisoner who takes up boxing (tekken is Japanese for "clenched fist").
Bunta Sugawara won a Hochi Film Award for Best Actor for his performance.
This film has no relation to the Tekken video game series or the video game based 2010 film counterpart, even using the same name. Another version was released in 2009.
