Yep.

They must have been awful.

Kalyx triaD 05-27-2008 03:24 AM
It was one but... yeah.

The downfall to the MK sequel was all the characters they introduced and how quickly they were all killed off.

That and the pussification of Raiden.


Christopher Lambert as Raiden was pretty cool IMO.

MK:A was plain and simply bad writing.

Katana: Mother, you're alive...
Sindel: Too bad YOU... will die.

There's about a million ways you could've taken a possibly emotional turning point for Katana (who was cool and calm in part one) and made it a great scene on film, instead we get the above line of dialogue.

There's alot of failed scenarios like that in the movie.

Jon Kano 05-28-2008 06:36 PM
Agreed.

But I still watch them from time to time.

Plus I thought my man Kano in the first film was fuckin hilarious.....

Kano: I love punctuality in a woman, don't you? Mr. Shang Tsung (making no attempt whatsoever to say the name with any regional dialect or correct pronunciation)

Come on now.

Looks gay, but not as gay as Dragonball z, at least.

Kalyx triaD 12-29-2008 02:26 PM
Guys... that shit looks boss. Like better than I thought boss. I was scared with all the names involved but I didn't think it'd be that eastern in style (whereas DBE has a western slant). I like it.

I still wouldn't have minded a dye job on the hair. And not one of his pimp suits are in red.

Damn, better luck with Legend of Ryu, I hope.

G 02-18-2009 12:22 PM
that looks horrible

parkmania 02-18-2009 02:29 PM
Anyone else notice that the most recent commercials for this have been downplaying the "Legend of Chun-Li" part? All the announcer says is "Street Fighter", and you barely see any of Kristen Kreuk at all. That should be a MAJOR tell that the movie is gonna = teh suxors

Actually that's more riding the wave that the game's bringing in. Kristen is actually getting more attention these days - overseas anyway.

No, it's because of the huge video game that's being released.

BigDaddyCool 02-19-2009 03:02 PM
I've had poops that look more like street fighter than that. Has there actually been anything movie/tv that is good and resembles the game?

Kalyx triaD 02-19-2009 03:07 PM
The US cartoon, the first Alpha anime, the "II" anime (the best really), the Jean-Claude vehicle.

Kalyx triaD 02-19-2009 03:08 PM
You say it doesn't resemble Street Fighter but you don't really want it to look like Street Fighter... not even close.

BigDaddyCool 02-19-2009 03:41 PM
The Jean Claude vehicle wasn't good.

Kalyx triaD 02-19-2009 03:48 PM
But it looked like Street Fighter. I'd go as far as to say it being Street Fighter hurt an otherwise par-for-the-course Van Damme movie.

Ain't no way a Street Fighter movie can be faithful to the game while being a great movie, we can only hope for good. Even my own ideas for a Street Fighter movie would have hate mail sent to me for the changes I'd make. I think people need to educate themselves on the whole adaption process because the ones who cry loudest, even though huge fans of the material, don't really know what they're asking for.

I sympathize, but I not empathy - that's reserved for the production crew tasked with making sense out of the wackiest stories in media.

BigDaddyCool 02-19-2009 03:54 PM
I said good and look. And yes it can.

We bought gloves for Michael [Duncan, who plays Balrog], who is the loveliest man. We thought it would be really funny if Chun-Li and Balrog had a fight on the street in the style of Street Fighter, where you fight on a straight line. And we did it! We filmed the whole thing. I wore an Asian mandarin collar, I put my hair in the buns, we went out to the pool and we shot it with the temple in the backdrop by the hotel. And he's in short shorts and the whole kit and caboodle. I do the side kick and I say "spinning bird kick" and we did the whole thing. It's somewhere, I don't know where it is. What we wanted to do is put in all of the power bars and all of the video FX, it was all planned.
That footage needs to be found.

Haze 02-22-2009 08:25 PM
this movie looks terrible, and I usually give any movie a chance.

now if they made a Street Fighter movie with the Sin City/300/Watchmen kind of treatment, than that would be cool.

Fignuts 02-23-2009 01:20 AM
Honestly, they just need to make a new anime, with quality animators, and let UDON write it, cause the comic is fucking awesome. Although, since they couldn't even get decent animators for the SF IV, that might be wishful thinking.
