The 56-year-old was hospitalised after he crashed his luxury McLaren F1 car. The car spun off the road, hitting a tree and a road sign before catching fire. 

Atkinson was seen leaving the hospital in Peterborough, England, in a wheelchair and was driven away in an ambulance.

"I understand he has a fractured shoulder blade which is very painful and why he needed to stay in overnight. He is shaken but not stirred. I think he was in pain and had painkillers," mirror.co.uk quoted Atkinson's representative Peter Bennett-Jones as saying.

"The car has been removed and I'm sure he won't want it to be written off. He will want to get it repaired straight away... He will be very rattled and I think he'll want to keep as low profile as possible," Bennett-Jones added.

The couple, who quietly started dating less than two months ago, decided to part ways in late July.

‘Just Friends’ actor Reynolds, 34, is said to have initiated the split with Theron, 36, because he was only looking for a summer fling while she wanted to settle down.

“He only wanted something casual, but she’s in a rush to settle down, have kids and start a family since she’s getting older,” the Daily Mail quoted a source as telling Us Magazine.

“Charlize didn’t take it very well when he broke it off. She knows deep down that it wouldn’t have worked, but she is pretty bummed out about it all,” the source added.

'Tekken' - Nothing new in this martial arts film

After his master is murdered, a young martial arts exponent enters a contest, to fight seemingly undefeatable opponents and after almost losing emerges winner and kills the murderer with a little help from a beautiful female love interest, who also happens to be a contestant. How many times have you heard and seen this plot in cinema before? Here's one more addition - "Tekken". 

Of course, there are 'original' elements. Like it is not his master, it is the mother who's killed. A mother who also happens to teach him martial arts. And yes, it is a futuristic, 1984-styled city where messages like 'strength through order' blare out through loud speakers. You're not supposed to ask why in a city of the future they still have martial art games. Also, the law enforcers in the city are, well, clad in Ninja outfits. Ingenious, isn't it?

One has to admit though that this movie - adapted from Japanese Anime film of 1997 which was an adaptation of an arcade game - does not take itself seriously. It delivers its kicks, punches and explosions and like a nubile ninja gets out of your face before your eyes start drooping from its hackneyed plot. The film has very low ambitions and thus reaches it. 

What is a martial arts movie without its dosage of pretentious one-liners that young teens can hang on their walls. "Tekken" has its share. Sample this: 'If you can breathe, you can still fight. You lose only when you decide.' Touche. 

There are action junkies who, like little kids who love watching anything that moves, look forward to familiar films with a protagonist beating the crap out of everyone else. This film is exactly designed to cater to that segment of the audience - that is in large numbers worldwide. 

Thus for a film that is not looking to break new ground and instead tread on familiar ones and give audiences a 90-minute fantasy and action-filled escape, this one does quite a flawless job. Just for that it is worth a watch for fans of this genre. To watch, and immediately forget.
