... along with 10 other tormentable celebrities who were slipped into games without their knowledge
Tekken's Lei Wulong is... Jackie Chan Although several games have featured Bruce Lee lookalikes, Tekken might be the only series ever to create an homage to action virtuoso Jackie Chan. Hong Kong "supercop" Lei Wulong seems to be based directly on the Inspector Chan character from the Police Story/Supercop movies, although there's a little bit of Wong Fei Hung, Chan's character from the Drunken Master films, thrown in for good measure (hence the very un-cop-like silk outfits Wulong tends to favor).
Like Chan, Wulong has a sunny disposition, is nigh-indestructible and does all his own stunts (insofar as a polygon model can be said to be doing stunts, anyway). He's also a master of several different styles of kung fu, and can instantly drop into the wobbly, drunken style that Chan popularized in Drunken Master. These days, his face doesn't look as much like Chan's as it used to - in the second and third Tekken games, he was practically a dead ringer for the action star - but in all other respects, the likeness is unshakeable.

After graduating from college in 2000 with a BA in journalism, I worked for five years as a copy editor, page designer and videogame-review columnist at a couple of mid-sized newspapers you've never heard of. My column eventually got me a freelancing gig with GMR magazine, which folded a few months later. I was hired on full-time by GamesRadar in late 2005, and have since been paid actual money to write silly articles about lovable blobs.
