Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun-Li Trailer

The basic gist of the narration is that the reason that this girl has become a street fighter is because it's her fate.

Yeehaw.

Gee, hope her dead dad doesn't mind that he had to be bumped off for her "fate".

yep better then DB but one thing bothers me though i thought Chun li was chinese? o_0

Devilly: Yeah, well, Ziyi Zhang is Chinese but played a Japanese woman in Memoirs of a Geisha-- much to the distaste of many Japanese people.

I can see their concern. On the other hand, look at how many Australians and British and Americans play each other. Of course, due to interbreeding, western Europeans are relatively indistinct in appearance...hm.

Wonder why 'Chun Li' doesn't get to talk in her own trailer.

Devilly on Dec. 29, 2008

I think it because she can only speak Dutch and english ^^

GMan on Dec. 29, 2008

But it's an American made movie and the dude (whatshisname) at the end of the trailer speaks English. It just seems a little odd that the star of "The Legend Of Chun Li" doesn't even get to say one word in the trailer. I'd even settle for a typical cheesey one-liner you often see in these types of movie. Just seems concerning.

Weird indeed lol

GMan on Dec. 29, 2008

To me it just says the studio doesn't have a lot of faith in their actress. If that was the case, that's pretty sucky on their part.

yep that whole debacle of casting, I was kinda disappointed about Chun Li not being asian but its not a coincidence.

GMan on Dec. 29, 2008

You mean full Asian? She's Canadian. Her dad is Dutch but her mom is of Chinese descent. I just think Chun Li should be a little less dainty.

NDR008 on Dec. 29, 2008

Oh noooooooooooooooooooooooo is she possibly the only actress they could afford as Chun-Li?!

Devilly on Dec. 29, 2008

LoL Yeah they even could have used Birgit schuurman :P

Agent_Lost on Dec. 29, 2008

ah no, that not good at all
*throws shoes*

OkazukiIchigo on Dec. 29, 2008

yeah. This trailer is just to pump up the fans of that franchise and its way.. better than the Dead or Alive movie

Kinda weird, when there is people speaking english and japanese narration at the same time...

Kristen Kreuk is best seen and not heard.

No. Wait. Scratch that.

She's best not "seen" either.

GMan on Dec. 29, 2008

I just wonder if this was the reason she decided to leave Smallville. Sure it can be said that the show is a sinking ship but still...

GMan, the dude said "Sutoreeto Faita, Za Regend Abu Choon Lee"

i think i saw Fei-Long in there somewhere, might be worth seeing after all.

on second thought, maybe they should have just billed the film as something entirely separate from Chun-Li and the SF2 franchise, then no one would have any expectations.

GMan on Dec. 30, 2008

Uh huh...

I might have to get the barf bag when this movie comes out. 2009 looks like a bad year for movies.
