The Legend of Chun Li

[DOG LIPS]

I want my Bison's boots to light up.

 

[Terminator]

i agree with vile...id much rather watch jean claude van damme, kylie minogue, and raul julia

stino '94!

 

[Vile]

Any new features on it?

Nothing terribly awesome but some good stuff nonetheless. The Production shots are neat, as is the brief 'making of'.

If you're a fan I would say definitly pick it up!

 

[Brian Braddock]

does anyoen esle find it interesting that the trailers are street fighter heavy, not so much the chun li angle. The trailer barely had any shots of KK. if i didn't know better, or see the subtitle, i would it was a remake or a reboot

I'll admit that when I saw the new poster and saw all those SF characters names on there, well, I wouldnt go so far as to say that it's like they've started to panic and are desperate to market this as a straight SF ensemble piece or anything but..................

 

[The Major]

They really, really should have hired Maggie Q to be Chun-LI.

agreed

her or Moon Bloodgood

 

[BlackLantern]

stino '94!

this trend can die as well....along with the 'childhood raping'

 

[Terminator]

If you can accept Street Fighter '94 then you can accept this since it's closer in story.

BTW, it's not worth direct quoting, but people who claim to have seen the film in Japan say it's fun. Which is all you could ever want.

agreed

her or Moon Bloodgood

Moon's mother is South Korean, not Chinese. That would be more offensive then Kristin, would it not?

Lowered expectations only allow lousy films to get made. The '94 film is not acceptable. Nor should it be an excuse for this film to get away with a horrid movie just because it might be slightly better then that. Not that it's that difficult for any good film to do.

Fun movies can't have great quality?

Haven't seen enough of her to comment and while I agree she isn't as close to looking Chinese as Kristin she'll be a better choice if she's a superior actress, which shouldn't be that difficult to find.

Has anybody watched this at IGN?

It seems like they're just adapting the game for their own story purposes.

[Red Mask]

I saw the ad in the papers of her kicking Vega/Balrog. Her jambes are so faked.

 

[xwolverine2]

kristen kruek is "the strongest woman in the world"?

[Red Mask]

Just roll with it.

Jambes?? is that a martial arts term....?

 

[chaseter]

HAHA the tv spots are just calling it Street Fighter and not even talking about Chun Li.

 

[The Riddler]

this movie sucks and i will not be watching it.

i just want to know what characters besides chun li will be bastardized in this film?

its one thing to not be faithful... which i could care less about..

..but its another thing to just look trashy.

Chun-Li does windows....but can she cook??

Did I say that? No. You and your rolling eyes..

Haven't seen enough of her to comment and while I agree she isn't as close to looking Chinese as Kristin she'll be a better choice if she's a superior actress, which shouldn't be that difficult to find.

I'm sure there's a lot of better actresses who aren't Chinese. Judi Dench for Chun-Li?

Better get to the clock tower before the lightning strikes!

 

[Steelsheen]

i honestly dont see anything offensive about it. the same way as i dont find anything offensive in British-Welsh actor Christian Bale playing All-American Bruce Wayne/ Batman.

but if they must be so persnickety with the race, then they should've gotten Zhang Ziyi who is Chinese. (and in the same argument, they shouldnt have bothered casting her in Memoirs of a Geisha either since that is supposed to be about a Japanese woman).

my rule for casting has always been "if you look it, and can convincingly act it, then you play it". couldnt give a rats ass if you happen to be from Mars.

I didn't know time travel was possible. So tell me, how was February 27 2009?

But the difference is not all Asians look a like. If you didn't know who Christian Bale was you wouldn't know he was British. Moon on the other hand, doesn't look Chinese.

Here's another short clip (same fight) and a Kristin interview.

Of course you don't have Chun-Li's body, you're human.
