If you hadn't told me that this was a trailer for Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun-Li, I'd have had no idea that it was, in fact, a trailer for Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun-Li. Yes, it's another videogame movie tie-in that just looks like any other action flick.
There's a flash of Vega, but otherwise, this Japanese trailer doesn't really excite. The sad thing with this film is that I don't even think it will be enjoyable on an ironic level, like the first live-action Street Fighter movie was. This one takes itself too seriously and doesn't have Raul Julia in it. How can it hope to compare favorably?

Two: This movie come here prepared to fight a madman, and instead it found god (The Original).
Three: This movie will be lucky to make a Bison Dollar.
Four: The only things that could save this movie is Dolph Lungren.
Or at least watchable.
I never knew Chun Li was legendary.
I couldn't help but laugh.
I didn't catch Vega, when did they sho him?
It will be so epically bad, i am there first in line
Fuck you, full chinese and thick thighs or this movie is a farce and an epic fucking fail.
I swear, that's what I hear.
- not that we were comparing the two.
At least the first Mortal Kombat movie had the whole theme right, what with the existence of an actual FIGHTING TOURNAMENT and all. Wtf?
