Street Fighter Movie Trailer Accosts Our Eyes, Sensibilities
We’re sorry to start your morning off with such an, erm, interesting movie trailer but we couldn’t help ourselves; Street Fighter is something we grew up with, thusly we are required to post the silliness you see above (though we’ll be damned if we let another silly film ruin a great game series for us). Though Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun Li stars equally lauded celebrities as the original (stars such as Kristin “we barely know who this is too” Kreuk), it’ll be hard to top the misguided attempt at entertainment that it so gladly trumpeted.
Rather than bore you with our summation of the trailer, we’re giving you a breakdown of things the trailer most certainly doesn’t have:
-Signature moves from the game? CHECK. (absolutely none!)
-Actors that bare nearly any resemblance to the characters in the game? CHECK CHECK.
-A cool looking fireball? SUPER CHECK. (this fireball looks as silly as they possibly could have made it)
-Raul Julia? ULTRA CHECK. (there is most certainly no Raul Julia — and that’s a damn shame)

kristin kreuk is famous for smallville.
@mkat I know, thus the “we barely know who this is too” reference, as we “barely” know who she is (a single, middling show on the WB does not warrant stardom as far as I’m concerned). Either way, she does not look like this:

But you said Kreuk *does* look like Chun-Li in your post.
“…a breakdown of things the trailer most certainly doesn’t have:

-Actors that bare nearly 0% resemblance to the characters in the game?”
@but… You’re right. Fixed. Thanks!
i dunno i think kreuk could pull off chun-li but it seems like they are just pulling in upper B level actors to rope in more people.
