[JaD]

[Super_Ludacris]

Oh dear....has it come to that?

 

[JaD]

oh God, enough of the innuendo and intended public humiliation haha

 

[Super_Ludacris]

True. Can we merge this with the Kreuk thread btw Mods?

 

[JaD]

isnt this mostly a thread for the Street Fighter movie tho, unless maybe they should make a new thread just called Street Fighter (2008)

 

[Super_Ludacris]

Who really wants to comment in a thread like that?


Really......



This is more Kreuk news anyway

 

[JaD]

[Super_Ludacris]

Why Thank You

at first i had hopes for this movie but now that the rest of the cast is revealed, i can easily see this becoming another DOA. ugh! Chris Klein as Charlie? MCD as Balrog? Rick Yun (36) as the OLD master Gen??? wtf! plus, they cast a female who would've made a much better Chun-Li than Kristen Kreuk in a yet to be determined part.

*sigh* oh well, it can't be as bad as what they're doing to Dragon Ball...

I gotta defend Kreuk on one part though. This story seems to be a prequel of sorts, so its not like there asking here to play the full on grown up Chun Li either.

I hope this will be as fun as DOA: Dead or Alive was.

I don't get it why people bashed it so much. What did they expect? The Deer Hunter 2? It was supposed to be brainless popcorn fun with nice t&a.

It's my guilty pleasure. Sue me.

I agree

 

[Super_Ludacris]

and for god's sakes people, Its Kristin not Kristen


Come on!

 

[Nathan]

I can't see how some people even thought DOA was fun. The characters looked like cheap cosplayers, the fighting was bad and with one of the lamest villains ever.

 

[Super_Ludacris]

DOA was awful. I couldnt finish the film, had to turn that off. Even with that female cast, it still sucked.


@ babygirl being involved in this...

yeah but it's not like Chun-Li's age is the most important element of the script. even if they want a younger Chun, Bloodgood's only 32 but could easily pass for a 26 y/o. plus, she looks much more like a FIGHTER than Kreuk does.

The movie is suppose to set Chun Li in her teenage years. Like you said Bloody Moon or whateve the **** her pseudo native american name is, is 32. I am however intrested in seeing who she plays.

As far as the whole petite fighter thing goes....I mean it passes in some manga and at worst this will be something like that (a live action Manga joint, which looks horrible of course as DOA can attest but at least logically speaking within the confines it somewhat works) and she is trained in martial arts I know that so again its not that much of a strech.


Having said all that I still dont want her to do Street Fighter as a fan of hers (and as a fan of Street Fighter to be honest...it dont need a movie) but if I have to answer rhetorical questions, Im just saying its not tooo much off.

Man I still remember 2002 and the first season...

once again...it's not extremely important to the story that she remains a teenager. they said, at it's core, it's a revenge movie. it's not like the script requires her to be in high school during the bulk of the movie. as for her ethnicity, she's half dutch/irish and half south korean.

she may be trained in martial arts but her body looks frail. hopefully it'll look stronger in the movie though. truth be told, i like Kreuk and i think she has a near perfect face for Chun-Li, but i would've prefered someone that's not so girly and a lil' more womanly....even if she's supposed to be a teen in the script.

imo, Tang Wei (from the foreign film Lust, Caution) is Chun-Li incarnate...

I understand all that, but what I am saying is that the movie was written so that it is set in her teenage years. So given what we have, I can see why she was cast.

I dont think its that frail and obviously theres gonna be some training and bulking done. In some scenes in early Smallvile episodes she looked good fighting and the physique was not an issue. Im sure with some tone and definition to her body which will come from training it will be fine. But saying all that, if its a teenage Chun Li, she doenst have to be bulked up. So its a whatever issue. Again, not that I think she should have picked the role cause I knew this would come up even if you explain the perspective.

I could've sworn Kreuk was half Dutch and half Chinese, not Korean
