'Street Fighter: The Legend Of Chun-Li' Trailer

Posted by Joseph Baxter - Monday, December 29, 2008 11:03 AM

Kicks, punches, jumps, explosions, blindfolded karate lessons, and thugs firing guns who could not hit the broad side of a barn door. Are we missing anything from the list? Oh right, a fireball!

Perhaps what is actually notable from this mostly generic Japanese trailer for the upcoming Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun-Li are the glimpses of key characters from the SF series. Firstly, Neal McDonough as M. Bison, who is without the iconic red military suit with metal shins and Village People cap. This M. Bison instead chooses to walk around in style in tailored suits and a questionably bleached trimmed beard. Michael Clarke Duncan's Balrog seems to be really intense as he violates some unlucky thug with a giant pipe. Robin Shou (who was Liu Kang in the Mortal Kombat films) is shown as Chun-Li's master, Gen as he goes all "grasshopper" on her, instilling into her the lessons that will have her kicking ass in a ridiculously unrealistic way. Lastly, clips of actor Taboo's performance as Vega shows him flipping around, slicing and dicing, and posing for the camera.

...Well, it looks better than Van Damme's. (That's as far as I will go.)

I thought it looked pretty cool. I'll check it out in theaters.

Chun-Li does not look good in this one. Where are the massive thighs that I've been waiting for???

Is that Kristin Kreuk from Smallville? She's not Chinese or hot enough to be Chun-Li. Sorry. Not to mention this movie will probably blow. They should have casted Olivia Munn. Equally as Chinese, but much hotter.

Or maybe they could have really went out on a limb and casted a talented Chinese actress.

@ frostybru82: ANYTHING looks better than Dragonball: Origins...

@ ahorriblemess: Agreed on all counts... This movie, as well as DB:O, is going to be, please forgive the pun, a horrible mess...

That was much better to watch with MIA playing in the background instead of cheesy Japanese man voice.

Gigantic thighs might have been interesting, but then she would have had to be Mexican or black. While only about 1 in 10 white girls has huge thighs, I have never seen a Chinese girl with curves.

Hopefully the fireball won't evaporate before it hits that guy, like in the game.

@Chaztam

you've never seen a chinese girl with curves? wow you must've been seeing chinese girls who look like rails over there.

---this movie looks horrible..just as others have mentioned here..even though kristin kreuk is cute she does not have chun li's body type. which is probably impossible to locate for casting directors. unless surgery or a body suit would be built. tia carrera is probably a better candidate but not close----- as for the characters come on. micheal clark duncan as balrog? chris "american pie" klein as charlie. yuck.

more case in point that they should just create tons of street fighter anime than live action crap. give fan service to the other characters---blanka. ehonda.


give me one live action movie based from anime, comics and videogames? i can't think of any. this isn't epic fail like the dbz movie. its an effing domino cluster that never ends and its not cool to watch.

Posted by badspeller05 - Monday, December 29, 2008 5:36 PM

what does this have to do with street fighting? why even have street fighter in the name?

Posted by shadowsoul1 - Monday, December 29, 2008 5:50 PM

hmmmm....is it just me or does anybody see anything even remotely Street Fighter-ish in this trailer?

It's going to blow. Anybody see that horrible excuse for Vega in the metal mask? YIKES!

Posted by Manifest37 - Monday, December 29, 2008 7:00 PM

This movie will suck... but at least not as bad as Dragonball will! !

Posted by deathsdelivery - Monday, December 29, 2008 8:20 PM

Janine Siu would have been my choice, if she could act, that is.

Posted by CaptCapcom - Monday, December 29, 2008 9:33 PM

Everyone needs to look at this movie this way ... This is WAY early in the Street Fighter Story, like Before Street Fighter One Early...

It's a good way to do it, since the other way failed.

(BTW.. look for the Street Fighter Rifftrax http://www.rifftrax.com/iriffs /celluoid-shinobis)

What is with Hollywood rarely hiring asian actors to portray asians in movies? Look at Goku in the Dragonball movie. I personally think Taboo makes a decent Vega though.. and the best compliment that is really a non-compliment that I will give this movie is... "hey, it cant be worse than the JCVD abomination 1994 Street Fighter movie"

Wait...where's Sagat? I didn't anyone who was over seven feet tall with a patch.
