Oh! i was joking about that earlier comment btw :)
-

-
Finding it hard to picture Kreuk doing the fighting scenes. :mon unsure:

^ I'd rather go home if it's all the same to you :lol:
The campiness was the best thing (okay, the only good thing) about that movie. Following tradition, the new one should be corny AND have ridiculous special effects, so it's double-win.
-
^ I dunno, original movie was overly-corny and I get called corn-flakes myself with the jokes I tell at work so eh.... And I love Kreuk and all but yeah I'm kinda skeptical with her pulling a Chun-Li off, I hope it's at least on one of the X-Men films caliber, special effects in the original were horrible.
-
so, according to maxim
Kristen Kreuk - Chun Li
Michael Clarke Duncan - Balrog
Neal McDonough - M. Bison
Taboo - Vega (haha, thats pretty cool)
Chris Klein - Charlie/Nash
Looks like they've got a nice budget to spend for this movie =)

This could be pure hilarity...I'm no holding my hopes too high though...

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The blog for upcoming film Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun Li is back on its feet after being knocked over by too much Internet attention yesterday.
Apparently Kristin Kreuk and Josie Ho (as Cantana) have been getting a little "too close for comfort" as well, in a "scene that's sure to capture the, um, affections of all you male fans". (http://www.eurogamer.net/article.php?article_id=131466)
Kristen in potential female action? Hmmm. Maybe I'll watch it after all. with the sound down, naturally :P
The blog: http://streetfightermovie.net/?m=200804
-
Street Fighter movie writer Justin Marks has said he picked Chun-Li as the focus because films are about unexpected heroes, and not so he could have a "blatantly sexualised female lead". (http://www.eurogamer.net/article.php?article_id=137992)
Funny how he then goes onto say:
"That said, did I mention Kristin is gorgeous? And there's one very steamy night club scene where she does awesome things to get the information she needs."
Kristen is hot, but I still think there are better suited full blood Chinese actresses with the looks and skills to portray Chun-Li. That's the only way you're going to please the diehards. With Kristen all I'll see is a pretty girl flailing her arms and legs about.
And it seems that Ryu or Ken won't make an appearance.
-
hmmm... already sounds like crap all over again.
-
Chun Li supposed to have those thunder thighs. No Ryu and Ken?
-
Too bad Raul Julia isn't around to reprise his role as M. Bison...to be honest I'm pretty surprised they're doing a new Street Fighter movie...
-

It's confirmed. Ryu and Ken won't be in the upcoming movie:
Patrick Aiello, the producer on Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun-Li, has confirmed that Ken and Ryu won’t be in the film. This, brothers and sisters, is a heavy blow.
“There are just way too many characters in the Street Fighter universe to cram them all into one film,” he said. “We want to do each one the justice he/she deserves. So, in short, Ken and Ryu will not be appearing in this film. But, that doesn’t mean we wont see our red and white-clad heroes in potential sequels…”
Too many characters, so the most iconic ones are scrapped :roll: And I like how he thinks there will be potential sequels. This announcement alone will turn away fans from the screens already!

^ I was just about to post these. Judging from these it looks more like Street Gunfighter.
-
On a positive note, it looks better then Dragonball
-

Waiting for the trailer just to see how they're approaching this.
-
not too shabby! the poster looks pretty good, and kreuk actually looks like chun li a bit! if anything, at the moment i'm more excited about this than DBZ
-
She looks pretty damn hot as Chun-li I think. I wonder how the action scenes will turn out. And yes, its looks a whole lot better than dragonball.

lol, my friend's all "why is Chun Li white??"
-
Trailer:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K1cuEy82PeQ
-
I wonder if they will show Chun Li's signature move Hyakuretsukyaku (i.e the move that she rapidly kicks the opponent) and the upside down Tatsumaki-Senpū kyaku (i.e. that spinning kick move)
-
looks like an action movie but they incorporated street fighter into it, instead of writing around the sf theme itself =P I like it so far, i'd watch it. Taboo as Vega looks pretty cool.
haha, Tatsumaki-Senpū kyaku, i know it as speening baard keek!
lol, my friend's all "why is Chun Li white??"
hehe, all i see are comments saying "Chun Li isn't chinese! Fail!". I guess people can't see that she's half asian (chinese).

Official US poster

:thumbdown:
-
is that OLIVIA MUNN?
-
Pretty crappy poster. The silhouette of the fighters is certainly not as striking and iconic as say, Ryu vs Ken.
-
Wow. That poster sucks. After seeing the trailer, it looks like it's gonna suck in a Forbidden Kingdom kind of way (Bad) instead of a Street Fighter: The Movie kind of way. :(
-
I'm really debating on whether or not I'll watch this movie. I loved Street Fighter as a kid and Kristen Kruek is hot... but WHERE'S KEN?!
-O_sLaVe
-
is that OLIVIA MUNN?
no I don't think so, went to IMDB and don't see her name on the actor/actress list.
Agreed with all, the poster looks crap! I mean the movie is about Chun Li right? why the shadow background is not Chun Li?
The Japanese poster posted by Tuffty looks a bit better, at least is more "Chun Li"
-
ahehaheae
is only me or everyone noticed, the girl who make chun-li is not chinese ?? aehahehae
what a msitake aheahehaheae
poor movie aheahea

it's all about the brand franchise and the ass.

Well, she's half-Chinese, half-Dutch and 100% sexy, so there's at least one reason to watch it :drool:

There are a lot of people who play roles of characters of different ethnicities and nationalities. Their actors playing roles in movies.
Talent is more important than nationality.

I can't believe I hadn't heard of this movie... it looks better than Dragonball, at least. Though I've never been a big fan of Chun Li..
-
Me and my brother are gonna try to see this on Saturday. I saw some talk show the other day where the guy who plays Bison was on there talking about how doing the movie was so cool. He said it was fun because they based Bison on Richard Branson. :lol:
-
I agree that "talent is more important than nationality", but it still kind of helps if they.. you know, stick to original nationality/ethnicity as much as they can, you know?
It's not like there are zero Chinese girls out there that would be good for this role.
-
But she's half chinese, so I see nothing wrong with kruek playing chun-li. They never said chun-li was full chinese in the first place.
The bigger problem is the movie itself. :lol:

Street Fighter’ packs a limp punch
By Alonso Duralde
Film critic
msnbc.com contributor
There’s an understanding when we go into a movie like “Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun-Li” that the audience is willing to sacrifice certain standards of plot, dialogue and performance in exchange for a visceral experience of breathtaking fight scenes along with a reasonable degree of visual acuity.
You’ll get none of that here. (http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/29431430/)
-
^ welp there goes my expectations down the drain. next on the list: dragon ball! yay for westernized mediocrity! why do they even try? or are they trying to market to people under 13 years old? i bet i wouldve enjoyed this movie as a 10 year old, heck i kinda did with mario brothers and the original street fighter, lol.
-
^ Pretty much aimed at male tweens yeh, as is any game-to-movie adaptation. Fighting games are an odd genre to translate into movies for. They're not exactly renowned for their narratives are they? I only hope the Bioshock adaptation doesn't go the same route.
But then we all knew this wouldn't make a good movie anyway. I hope it means no more western SF movies. I mean, you'd probably get Tom Welling (Clark Kent in Smallville) being cast as Ryu.
-
Wooooooooooowwwwwwwww this movie is bad. It's way worse than I expected. Everything about it is just horrible. On the plus side, the woman who played Chun Li's mother, Emilze Junquiera, is hot. She looks really familiar, but I can't think from where.
-
^ Seems she has been moddeling in Japan:
http://www.newsweek.com/id/86175
She does look Stylish South-American :)

i liked the van damme ver. of the street fighter movie so i think i'll like this one too. haha :lol:

Brutal comments from Rotten Tomatoes (http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/street_fighter_the_legend_of_chun_li/):
"The good news is that I only need 9 more movies for my 10 Worst List."
"I can't remember the last time I watched an actor fail to walk into a room convincingly, but Chris Klein does it. Look for a YouTube montage of his Street Fighter performance to pop up any day now."
"When Chris Klein yells "Bomb! Everybody Out!", he just as well could have been talking about this movie too."
"Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun-Li is indeed terrible, but in kind of an awesome way."
"I much prefer the flamboyant badness of the '94 flick to the attractive, even-keeled mediocrity of this one. Jean-Claude Van Damme's stock just rose considerably."
"Chun-Li narrates much of it, and the dialogue would be excruciating if it weren't laughable in the way she describes what is blatantly occurring on the screen. If nothing else, the movie is an ideal one for blind viewers."
"As a fan of the video game series, I can honestly say that this is hands down one of the worst films I have ever seen. Chris Klein is so bad that he made the movie a comedy."
"It's bad. It's really bad. It's Uwe Boll bad."
OUCH! XD
-
Wait, I'm more surprised 'Mall Cop' is the highest there XD
-
Since its not out here, I tried to get it via Torrent, got three fakes only, I wait for cinema release :)
-
I saw the movie last night with a few friends. I haven't laughed that hard in a very very long time. So in a way, it did a better job at entertaining me than most movies have, but not in the way it intended. :pimp:
-
hmm.... my brother said this movie is ok ..... I may go watch it when I got time
-
The boys on "The 404" podcast today said that it had a zero-percent rating on "Rotten Tomatoes" (since revised to maybe six percent?). Remarkable.
-
XD I watched this last night it was terrible!
