Kinda sad to see Micheal Clarke Duncan in there 🙁 - I like that guy and want to see him in good movies. He's playing Balrog 😛

Can't be too much worse than the first street fighter movie with Van Damme though. Might watch it when it comes on TV in a year or so.

Gee thanks for clarifying that. I don't think we would have been able to figure out that the big black actor is playing the only big black character in the game :roll:

LOL!!!

seriously though, WTF! When is Hollywood gonna stop using white people for asian characters?
 
LOL

Some movies are so terrible that they transcend the mortal realm of what was intended and instead become something so spectacular that you dare not blink for fear of missing a second. They are movies that make you cry out in glee and howl at the screen as each attempt at being cool or funny or inventive instead fails, tripping over itself time and again in a series of blunders so magnificent that it defies every expectation. And as you?ve probably guessed by now, Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun Li is just such a picture. A moist, gaping hole of sanity, this film is repeatedly fucked by its own incompetence, its mind numbingly awful script, and its complete and utter inability to even sustain its own logic.

In other words, it is one of the greatest things I have seen on screen all year.

so the hollywood gang-rape of japanese intellectual properties continues... it wasn't enough Van Damme raped Guile (which to their credit, I assume the previous movie will be kick ass compared to the new one) , now they need another round and violate the Street Fighter name just as #4 was released on consoles.

<--- waiting for how they can royally fuck up Naruto.

lol i think Munn could actually pull off Chun Li. Although Chun Li is Asian and Munn is Spanish or something.

I'd still rather see Munn playing the character in the movie 😀

They're all HAWT. I didn't know Summer Glau had Asian in her? Her wikipedia page says
she's Scotch- Irish and German. Hmm, now that you mention it, how can she not have some Asian in her?

There's a whole thread on Summer's supposed 'hidden' ethnicity. Personally, I don't see it. Which part of her looks remotely asian...

i honestly cant believe I missed this. this is the funniest thing ive seen in awhile. probably wouldve done 10x better at the box office too. i think ill post it out on the SF thread too 🙂
 
Link - SF came in 8th place at the box office behind Madea Goes to Jail, The Jonas Brothers, Slumdog Millionaire, Taken, He's Just Not That Into You, Paul Blart, and Coraline.

It only earned $4.6 million in 1,136 theaters.

major suckage

Kiko-ken is what Chun-Li has in the video game. They gave her Hadouken?
Click to expand...

Street Fighter fans should be able to understand this post (if you played Alpha + Alpha 2) *SPOILERS BELOW* - well, movie sucks so does it really matter?



- They didn't explicitly state Hadouken, she just has a fireball. So it's safe to assume we can call it kiko-ken.
- The sad part is Gen (the super old guy from Alpha 2) gave her that move. He can't even shoot projectiles!
- Rose was in it. As a young ~15 yr old girl, and Bison's daughter. Riiiiiight....
- Nash/Charlie was in it. And it had to be the worst laughable acting ever. Every scene and dialogue with him made me cringe.

Sigh.... at least i didn't pay full price...

The real question is, why would any rational being fork over 8 bucks to see this in the first place?
