"Remembering" Street Fighter: The Legend Of Chun-Li...



Everybody knows how Street Fighter: The Legend Of Chun-Li turned out, and well... it was REALLY disappointing no matter how you looked at it. Even with the sexy "Lana Lang" Smallville actress Kristin Kreuk highlighting that movie as Chun-Li, she didn't exactly play the part fans know and love, not to mention all of the wasted talent and acting utilized in the film (including Mortal Kombat's own Robin Shou!) . Like I said, it made the 1994 JCVD Street Fighter film look way better, and if that's not enough of an indication of how bad the film was, remember to watch out for Chris Klein as Nash... 'nuff said. For visual references, you should probably check the trailer out, to know how "real pain looks in the big screen":

That was... "something else". The plot literally shoots off from the Street Fighter mythos, and with the exception of the characters' names, all of them are nothing like their video game counterparts. In fact, a clip in You Tube demonstrates how badly things would go if actual "fighting game physics" were injected into the movie. Go and check this spoof commercial out:

Poor Kristin got beat down... it's too much.
