The new Street Fighter movie focuses on Chun Li (Kristin Kreuk) and features Michael Clarke Duncan as Balrog, Chris Klein as Nash, and Rick Yune as Gen. Andrzej Bartkowiak is directing from a screenplay by Justin Marks (Voltron, Hack/Slash). Dion Lam, who staged the fight scenes in The Matrix, is choreographing Street Fighter’s martial arts combat.

What a horrible idea.

Didn't they learn anything after the last one? I mean, Michael Clark Duncan might be alright as Balrog and Kristin Kreuk is adorable, but I don't know that I see her as Chun Li. I'd say "As long as they stick to the story it'll be alright" but WHAT story? The last movie tried to concoct a cohesive narrative out of the basic premise of "two almost super-hero characters fight each other" and it was just atrocious. This is a bad idea.

Agreed. Plus,Ryu and Ken are supposed to be the stars of the series and It doesn't look like they are gonna be in this movie. And besides I think It's kinda stupid to have a white woman play a character that's supposed to be Chinese. I smell a box-office bomb here guys.

It could be good,though it could flop.
No Vega=Fail.
Why no Cammy?
No ShadowLaw Dolls?

I think Street Fighter is better done in Anime form.

Seriously, why are they doing this? Is Hollywood really so bankrupt of ideas that they have to recycle old ones which didn't work in the first place?

Also, a non-Asian playing Chun-Li is fail. They could at least get somebody of Asian descent to play her.

Kristin Kreuk is half Chinese on her mother side of the family. Her mother was born in Indonesia and her maternal grandmother is born in Jamaica of Chinese descent.

It doesn't matter if they kidnap a forced gymnast with martial arts expertise who wears the little hairbuns normally straight out of the People's Republic of China. It will STILL be awful.

They have that part in her, now if she can punch and kick, is another story. :lol:

I don't count the times that she kicks in any eps of Smallville.

They are, we getting another Alvin and the Chipmunks movie in 2010.

I liked the first one.... Ducks tomatoes. Though John Clad VanDamn as Guile just wrong, nothing against the actor, Just wrong for the character otherwise I thought it was good. Hope the new one will be to

I admit that the old Street Fighter movie was a far cry away from what the original Japanese creators had intended for it, but I liked it. I'll give this new one a shot, but don't have any high hopes for it.

Street Fighter's Kreuk, Klein Spill


Sci Fi Channel wrote:Kristin Kreuk and Chris Klein, stars of Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun-Li, told SCI FI Wire that the film remains true to the video game on which it's based.

Kreuk plays the title character and said Chun-Li's origin story is drawn from the game.

"It's about the character Chun-Li," she said in an interview on the red carpet for the Video Game Awards in Los Angeles over the weekend. "It's her origin story from when she was a little girl. She loses both of her parents. Her father is taken away. She doesn't know that, and she goes on a revenge journey and then eventually finds a teacher, a master to help her overcome her emotional attachments to getting her revenge so that she can actually see a greater good, and then go forth and fight from there."

For his part, Klein plays Charlie Nash, a rogue Interpol agent. "[He's] an American," Klein said. "Chasing after the villain in our movie, Bison, played by Neal McDonough. Kristin's character, Chun-Li, and I discover we're after the same bad guy. So we team up a little bit, and heroic adventures ensue."

lein admits to being a fan of the Street Fighter game from way back. "Capcom is coming out with a new version of the game," he added. "Street Fighter version four for PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360, in the first part of next year. But I was Nintendo 64 Street Fighter version two, since I'm a little bit older."

Kreuk (Smallville) said she had to train hard to perform her character's martial-arts moves. "We did a bunch of stuff," she said. "A lot of wire work, a lot of kung fu and tai chi stuff. I did some sword fighting, which I don't think is in the movie. It was awesome. We couldn't fit it in timewise." Kreuk added that some crew members got sick while filming and ended up in the hospital.

Klein, similarly, trained hard. "I got to work with [an] Australian counter-terrorism unit," he said. "And we went in, and they taught me how to shoot guns. I don't have a lot of experience shooting an M-16 rifle or a 9 mm Beretta, so it was a lot of fun. And Charlie Nash's weapon of choice is a 9 mm Walther P99. So I got to have some fun with that and shoot with that. And, actually, Moon Bloodgood, who plays another Interpol agent in Bangkok, Thailand, who Charlie teams up with, ... we got to do that. We got to shoot guns and do some tactical training."

Maybe I should alert the Nostalgia Critic (aka thatguywiththeglasses). He's already done a review of the first one, and hated it immensely.

Vladimir Kozlov from WWE would make an excellent Zangief. Too bad he doesn't have that beard.
It could be worse. They could do another Mortal Kombat too.
