Back to my review Robin Shou as Gen & Micheal Clark Duncan as Balrog round out the cast & h**ls bells those 2 were the only good casting. Basically it got saddled with a cliche plot like the 1994 film Chun Li’s father was kidnapped I thought he just kills him he’s an important business man I thought that he was a simple man just a farmer. I thought it was Cammy’s father that was important & her parents were killed and you know Cammy was kidnapped as a little girl. So 1 day Chun Li gets a scroll & has to set off to Bankok & find a man named Gen she learns how to fight from him. Meanwhile we meet a Interpol Agent named Chrlie Nash wait I thought he was a Military Investigator he meets up with his new partner Maya Sunee they turned Chrlie from the games into a sexual dinosaur and this Chrlie & Maya team is no Guile & Chun Li from the anime.Even the p**s poor badly adapted 94 film the sexual tension Cammy had for Guile was better cause IMO JCVD & Kyile Minogue legitly cared for 1 another.

Worse Street Fighter Ever! M. Bison fighting for land lol. Come On? B rated movie with a good cast. But the story & fighting scence “Suck” This movie brought SF to shame once again. Stick to Anime Please. If your a SF fan then this movie will be a big joke to you.

This is a good Street Fighter movie. Chun-Li is dope! Kristin Kreuk does a great job portraying her even though she is mad skinny! If you play street fighter..you should watch this movie. Really, it’s that simple

Based on Capcom’s popular video game, “Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun-Li” stars Kristin Kreuk (“Smallville”) as the titular heroine. As you know, Capcom’s original game has already been made a feature film starring Jean-Claude Van Damme in 1994 and then Chun-Li was played by Ming-Na. Now I saw the new film and I can say pretty confidently “Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun-Li” is slightly better than Van Damme’s terrible film. Well, just slightly.
Actually, it is not a bad idea to follow the journey of Chun-Li, who is to become a beautiful concert pianist-turned-fighting heroine looking for her missing father. The film starts off promisingly with an enjoyable fight sequence between Chun-Li’s father Xiang (Edmund Chen) and Balrog (Michael Clarke Duncan). There are some nice moves and tricks using props like bottle and table. But then something goes wrong.
The biggest problem for me is the film’s pacing. Action scenes themselves are decent, and at some parts very well-choreographed (by Dion Lam, action director of “Doom”), but they are often too short (for example, Chun-Li’s battle with Vega) and not many enough. I don’t care the film’s weak story and corny one-liners. I can ignore the unnecessary voiceovers. For martial action scenes (which are helped by editing) they obviously used stunt people, but it is OK. They did great jobs. I just want more actions.
Some say Kristin Kreuk doesn’t look like Chun-Li. Right, you don’t find exactly the same blue-colored costume and hairstyle as the game (except one scene, as for the latter), but Kristin Kreuk is surely gorgeous. Chris Klein and Moon Bloodgood appear for no other reason than to unnecessarily complicate the story. And I really like Neal McDonough, but he is simply miscast here. I miss Raul Julia.
“Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun-Li” is directed by Andrzej Bartkowiak who is known for so-so action films such as Jet Li’s “Romeo Must Die” and “Cradle 2 the Grave” plus “Doom,” another not-so-great movie inspired by a video game. With its wonderful cinematography shot in Thailand, “Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun-Li” is not a terrible film. It just doesn’t deliver the goods it promises.
