Tekken does the late Bruce Lee proud with their own homage to the man himself. And since no one has done a respect thread on either Laws, I guess I'll do.
Nationality: American (Chinese ancestry) Age: Marshall - 25 (Tekken); 27 (Tekken 2); 48 (Tekkens 4 and 5) Forrest - 3 (Tekken, seen in Yoshimitsu's ending); 25 (Tekken 3) Height: both stand at 5'10" Weight: Marshall - 152 lbs; Forrest - 146 lbs Hair: Black Eyes: Brown (Marshall's eyes were green in Tekken 1) Blood Type: both have the same blood type, which is B Fighting Style: both use Jeet Kune Do. Seeing as how they are modeled after Mr. Lee, it's fitting. Occupation: Marshall - former chef and dojo owner, now a dishwasher in Japan; Forrest - second master of the Marshall Dojo, unknown afterwards

Backgrounds:
Marshall Law is a Chinese American who fights using various martial arts. Sometimes known as "The Fighting Chef", he is a close friend of Paul Phoenix during Tekken 1 and Tekken 2, and he is the father of Forrest Law. He entered the first King of Iron Fist Tournament in order to gain enough money so he could start his own dojo. Marshall does get enough money as a runner-up for his dojo and took Wang Jinrei to a draw. He is indeed married as "Mrs. Law" is seen in Yoshimitsu's ending.
In Tekken 2, Law enters the tournament to exact his revenge on the Taekwondo fighter Baek Doo San, who attacked Law's pupils and destroyed his dojo.
In Tekken 3, while Marshall is away building a new dojo, Paul convinces Forrest to compete in the third tournament. Forbidden to compete in any tournaments outside the dojo, Forrest refuses, then agrees, but Marshall isn't too happy with this stunt of Paul's.
Before Tekken 4, Law finds success as the master of a martial arts dojo, and as the owner of a restaurant chain called "Marshall China", back in the USA. However, a rival restaurant chain drives him bankrupt, and he falls into a depressed, alcoholic state. However, when The King of Iron Fist Tournament 4 is announced, he beats himself back into shape to compete in the tournament, determined to pick up his business again.
At the end of Tekken 4, after Law fails to win the tournament, he is completely broke, and he now works as a dishwasher at a restaurant in Japan. Just before the events of Tekken 5, he receives a phone call from his wife in America. She informs him that Forrest was badly hurt in an accident while riding on Paul Phoenix's motorcycle. Marshall enters the 5th Iron Fist tournament in order to pay his son's medical bills.
During the middle of the King of Iron Fist Tournament 5, it was discovered that Marshall Law was working illegally in Japan, and as a result he was immediately deported to his home country of the United States of America. With the deadline to pay for the damages of his son’s accident fast approaching, hopes of getting the money needed were slim. Just then, his best friend Paul Phoenix approached him with the idea of forming a team—securing a high-ranking prize alone would certainly be difficult, but if he was part of a team, the probability of winning would be much higher. Marshall accepted Paul’s invite, but thinking a three-man team was better than two, the renowned boxer Steve Fox caught his attention

It was good to see Marshall Law back in Tekken 4, I missed seeing him even though we had his son in Tekken 3. They need to bring Forrest back, they are on the sixth series and we haven't seen Forrest since 3 and TTT.
BTW: I saw Marshall Law in Tekken 6, he looks amazing! He has the Jeet Kune Do style and He looks like Bruce Lee! He should win the sixth tournament in the case that they can't decide amongst the Mishimas to win. Let the Dragon bust these Demons up this time!
I like Jin Kazama but I wish that they didn't have to make him the head man for the tournament in this one. I liked it when he was the contender while being the champ!
Do you know if Bruce Lee was Chinese-American or just pure Chinese? I read in his biography that his nationality was American but I'm not sure if he is mixed with China and U.S.

Bruce Lee was 3/4 Chinese and 1/4 German, from what I read.
