Street Fighter: Legend of Chun Li

"STAR-STUDDED" Cast: Kristin Kreuk as Chun Li (Smallville Pretty Face)
Edmund Chen as Chun Li's Father (Mediacorp Small Time Actor)
Robin Shou as Gen (Liu Kang of Mortal Kombat)
Michael Clarke Duncan as Balrog (Green Mile Big Man)
Neal McDonough as Bison (Familiar face in several lousy films)
Chris Klein as Charlie Nash (American Pie Duschbag)

The movie was a joke made of street fighter. I have no idea what was the budget they had to work with but it seemed even Ong Bak had a bigger budget. The setting was bad, the cast was bad and the acting was horrendous. Chun-Li went from little Chinese girl to Eurasian girl and finally to Caucasian girl, it showed how she had evolved together with the deterioration of the Mandarin language as she grew older. The first Cantonese line Kristin Kreuk had to say was:"yo mo yan hai pang so ah!" which means is there anyone around to help. She said it so quickly and jumbled up the words...it sounded like she was just screaming:"Yoyangmpangsah!" Then surprisingly...in her home situated in HK, she spoke to all her servants in freaking Mandarin man...and the only Mandarin I heard her say was:"Shie Shie!" and "Wo bu ming bai". Her mandarin was shit ass lousy, must have taken her 2 freaking years to learn thank you and I don't understand in Mandarin. Then came the ridiculous part where Chun-Li went to see this Chinese woman who started blabbering a whole load of crap which I couldn't understand cause there were no subtitles. And then...Chun-Li was asked to go to Bangkok to be ONE WITH THE PEOPLE. But she wasn't really the joke of the movie, it was Ltn.Charlie Nash from Interpol. Damn he could win America's Next Top Model with his role in the movie. He was posing for the camera throughout the whole movie...squinting his eyes at the camera...pouting his lips to give that "sexy" feel...oh come on...and there were just plain cold lame dialogs like the ones David Caruso had in CSI:Miami. The fight sequences were bad...and the biggest joke was Balrog having a freaking DURIAN thrown at his head and still survive with barely even a scratch. He must have like a head of iron or something man...who could ever survive a direct hit in the skull with a Durian? And who would in their right mind would throw a DURIAN with their bare hands at someone...it's suicidal and sick man. No wonder the Bangkok mobsters who had guns retreated with Balrog..the villagers were insane shits. The came the classic Bollywood fast-forwarded fight scenes to make it seem as though they were fighting each other real fast. Vega Vs Chun-Li, one of the major fight scenes? Nope...it lasted for less than 2 minutes. It was like the original street fighter game, you have 90 seconds before defeat/victory. There was no effort to include any real CG...the only CG I saw was Chun Li's Yin Yang Powerball. Next thing when I witnessed was Bison having his head twisted by Chun Li and best part of it all...Neal McDonough just wore his suit backwards to show his head was twisted...how ORIGINAL AND CLASSIC! It reminded me of this video I watched years back...



Yup...even THIS movie had a more intense fight. Yea...OVERALL rating for Street Fighter: Legend of Chun Li: 0/5
