"Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun-Li" review (1/5). For the most part laughable

30 June 2009 | From Movie Jungle | See recent Movie Jungle news

An appalling adaptation of the beloved video game, “Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun-Li” is undoubtedly one of the worst films to ever hit the big screen or any screen for that matter. Apart from poor effects and editing, the fight choreography is for the most part laughable and almost as bad as the “Street Fighter” film starring Jean-Claude Van Damme and Raul Julia. In that film, Ming-Na starred as Chun-Li, now “Smallville” star Kristin Kreuk takes the role. Story actually starts off well and is intriguing as young Chun-Li’s (“Katherine Pemberton”) beloved influential business man father (Edmund Chen) is snatched away by Bison (Neal McDonough). However, the film progresses from barely watchable to completely imbecilic. Casting choices quickly come into question everywhere including the power-hungry villain head honcho and the flourishing martial arts expert are tame and lame.

(Horrible) Street Fighter movie poster

It surprises me just how much that poster doesn’t work…

I can see what they’re going for - trying to be a bit different (edgier, perhaps?) than other films in the genre have been in the past, but it just looks cheesy and kind of silly (although it’s certainly better than the terrible first poster). To be honest it took me a few seconds to even notice there were two guys fighting on it,
