The Legend of Chun Li

[Bishop2]

I'm tired of Hollywood white washing every single movie. I'm glad that Spill review talked about that.

The movie was never going to make a lot of money, why didn't they just hire a fully asian actress?

Kreuk certainly looks Asian. Why does it matter if she's only HALF Chinese? How Asian is Asian enough? I mean, dang.

 

[The Dark Defender]

Both mainstream theatres around here got it, not sure if anybody went though.

She certainly looks half asian and thats fine with me but I'd perfer for hollywood to, once in a while, give somebody work who isn't half white. It's almost always, the star of a movie is half-black, half-asian or half anything else. Mostly asain people, black and anyother race are beautiful and talented too, you shouldn't have to be half white to get a role.

You may not remember this (or maybe never heard it), but the first person they tried to get for the part of Chun-Li was... Jessica Biel.

Not kidding.

Really? Thats sad.

This sounds so bad...in the reviews...it sorta makes me wanna check it out...I don't think my theater has it...maybe thats a good thing...

How about 100% Asians? There are talented actresses in Hollywood like that who suit Chun Li far more then Kruek. Though if they had get a half-Asian actress they could have used Lucy Lui.

This is very...odd.

Hope to be better than first one

The movie has is still at zero on rotten tomatoes after 12 reviews, I wonder when it will get a positive one?

Even if Kreuk was naked in this, I wouldn't pay to go see it. And I am always for seeing chicks naked, but for some reason, I just don't want to see her naked.

 

[MAN O STEEL]

Am i the only person here who absolutley fell inlove with the original Van Damme Street Fighter?. I was 8 yrs old when it came out & I was a big Street Fighter game player & the movie back then just felt like the greatest thing ever to me. I was seeign the characters on the big screen. I watch it now with pretty much the same feeling. The characters were all there, they all pretty much looked like thier game counterparts & Van Damme was kickass as usual. It never tried to be anythign more than what it was & I appreciated that & still do. It was meant to be cheesy, over the top, almost cartoonish & I appreciated that they stuck to that. Street Fighter & Mortal Kombat are my two fav movies of that time because they chose to be what they were, video games & nothing more. Why the hate?

no, you are not. and i have always been proud of liking the original

 

[I SEE SPIDEY]

The original is classic crap...I love it!

 

[CTCurry99]

Went and saw it about 2 hours ago. Was it bad... yes. "Nash Out" better become the new pop culture phrase... it was that bad. But was it fun, well I had a good time. KK did some flips, kicked some butt, and got sweaty and wet all at the same time. Here's how I look at it: this movie helped me turn off my brain for 2 hours while entertaining me on various levels... mission accomplished!

 

[Milu]

Given that Fox cut the theater count to 1,000 and avoided advertising it, I doubt you have reason tow orrya bout that.

Good grief. Why even bother releasing it in theaters in the first place ?

wait.....seriously??!!

 

[Bug-Eyed Earl]

You can go back in this thread, but I told you so.

No one is going to see a Chun Li movie starring Kristin Kreuk.

Stupidest way possible to even attempt re-booting Street Fighter.

So making a Ryu and Ken movie would have reversed the writing and direction quality?

 

[Sawyer]

I predict this rakes in $20 this weekend. Not 20 million. Just 20.

Well, I'm a Half-White, Half-Chinese guy. I look mostly white. If I didn't tell you that I was Half-Asian....you'd never guess.

When I was 9 years old, my parents and I went to see some casting director in New York ( I was trying to get into the acting biz at that time....THANK GOD THAT DIDN'T WORK OUT!!! lol ).

Well that guy told my parents that I looked.....get ready......TOO CHINESE!!! wtf???

To this day, I still don't understand how anyone could look "too" Chinese or too much of any race or ethnicity.

but...apparently....according to that guy....I looked too Asian....either that or I wasn't "white enough".....


p.s. as an aside.....that summer that I stayed in New York was the summer when Street Fighter II came out for the SNES. That was huge for me, as I was a big fan of the arcade game. Ah......those were the days..........the memories......

 

[Bishop2]

Yes. Negotiations fell through however. Presumably when she remembered that she isn't Chinese.

In a strange way, I can kinda see why they would go after her - she has the body type for the part. She's toned, she's got the thighs and such. But...

That's.....just........sad........ :facepalm

 

[Panophobia]

This movie was hilarious. As long as you go in expecting nothing, it's an entertaining, laughable ride.

 

[Red Mask]

I just have one question is Maya supposed to be C.Viper?

No. That's bad marketing right there.

There is something very wrong with you

 

[Red Mask]

For a movie like this, they should just do it at the Universal Studio and I doubt anyone would've noticed.

Yeah they would. There are so many distinct scenes of Bangkok slums they couldn't find that many Asian extras in LA!
