Tekken (2010)

Evil corporation creates bleak future. Jin the hero is a fighter from the street (but never referred to as a ‘street fighter’ because that would be too funny) with a personal vendetta against the corporate bigwig. He enters the Tekken tournament so he can get near his target, the humourless Heihachi.
The occasionally seizure-inducing bouts are in an arena with an audience, like a wrestling match. It was an interesting approach that worked well and were short enough that they didn't outstay their welcome.
