Tina is competing to prove her worth as a real fighter rather than seeking fame. She and the three other main female characters—Kasumi, Christie, and Helena—team up to defeat the shady tournament organizer Victor Donovan near the conclusion. The film's U.S. release was repeatedly delayed and had only a three-week run in theaters, for which Pressly expressed no regrets in a 2007 interview with Rotten Tomatoes. She revealed that she had joined the production because of director Corey Yuen ("one of the number one action and martial arts directors in the world"), but the experience was hampered by language barriers between the cast and crew, and the script deviating from the game series' storyline.
