New Street Fighter movie??
Bahaha I dunno whose bright idea this was but I can’t believe there’s gonna be another Street Fighter movie. I didn’t even hear about it til 15 minutes ago.
It makes me laugh just thinking about the first one and the wack job they did, like casting Raul Julia as M. Bison and muthafucken Damian Chapa (Miklo from Blood In Blood Out) as Ken – if you’re gonna get a Hispanic dude to play Ken, at least get a blonde one! And I’ll never forget how stink the fight scenes and special effects were – I at least expected one “hooo-yu-git” or a “duk-duk-doogit” somewhere but no. What the fuck man. It must go down as one of the dumbest book/game/comic/whatever adaptations in history.
This new movie though could be worse. It’s called Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun-Li and as you’d expect, it focuses on her character. Who gives a fuck about a Chun-Li? The story should only ever follow Ken and/or Ryu and Guile – none of which even feature in this movie apparently. Also, the cast is lame as hell once again. The trailer (check below) at least looks alright, but it’s easy to make something interesting and cool for 60 seconds than it is for 90 minutes. Surely this is gonna flop on all counts. Oh and while I’m reminiscing on old movies being raised from the ashes, any of you guys see last year that they’re remaking The Last Dragon? Sam Jackson as Sho’nuff – crack up!

haha yeah, the trailer looked all good, it’s just it gives you no indication that it’s a movie with any thing to do about street fighter or chun-li until the title at the end lol.
Smallville chic is a babe tho, but they show that black dude more than their lead character in the trailer haha

Yep, another flop in the making. The first one was even worst than Mortal Kombat the movie & Dead or Alive.

Wow, this is fucking absurd. Chun Li, Balrog, Bison, Vega … wtf, where are the franchise players ? Straight second stringers up in this

Fucking cinematography
Oh well. I guess it’s better than Kylie as Cammy.
