Here Comes A New Challenger

"Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun-Li" is happening, and the above pics isn't my fan-casting either: Kristin Kreuk (the unofficial Mrs. Kalyx) has signed on to portray the greatest female fighting game icon in history (sorry Sonya). Expect more news throughout the year as its expected to drop sometime 2008/2009. Van Damme is not involved in this. Somehow, that news is awesome and terrible at the same time.

Did I mention that I am hopelessly in love with Kristen Kreuk? Cause I kinda am.

Decent casting.

Yeah but wtf a chun li movie? WHy the fuck don't they just make a street fighter movie?


That doesn't suck, I should add.

Gotta agree with Fignuts.

I enjoyed the first movie, but if they're gonna do a modern one, at least make it about all the characters.

I can only assume other World Warriors will pop up. This may be a good thing; character specific Street Fighter movies means we'll eventually get a true 'Shoto' movie with Ryu and Ken one day.

It's already confirmed that it's Chun-li focused, but not exclusively about her.

No more than SF 2 excluded other characters by focusing on Ryu.

Chun Li, along with Ryu, Ken and Guile, is a common focal point and protagonist in all things Street Fighter. I'd like to see a Guile-oriented deal myself, but whatever. I mean, I love Ryu and Ken, but they're been done and done and done.

Gonna be shit.

They got soooo many cool stories to focus on, Ryu, Ken, Akuma....but noooooo.....you think they have gone all 'the producers', where they are actually trying to piss everyone off? I think I might actually visit the set of this film and fuck it up.

I know this is a radical idea, but how about waiting for some real information before condemning and spazzing?

I am simply going on what I know already, just done a google, doesn't take long to get info when online, mate.

And by what 10 years of studying film and media has done to my ickle little brain of mine. And for what its worth, when it comes to films, I'm pretty good at it.

But hell, I could be wrong, ye shall see.

And your right, that was a lil too radical.

Yeah. You watched a lot of movies and went on Wikipedia for information. sound basis for critical analysis.

But also, and for Christ's sake, its Kristen fuckin Kruek, she should stick to that Smallville contract like it were her heart, because personally I don't think she has much of a film career to look forward to.

And for fucks sake - The Legend of Chun Li - how in the fucking sweet name of fuckin shit is she a legend? oh, whats that? oh the film will tell us how?...problem is like anyone fucking cares.

You have access to my internet history files? think if you did, you'd actually know what sites I went on instead of using a kind of reverse protocol, whereby I bet infact it was you who went on wikipedia. Gettin pretty predictable there KK, might wanna change ya game plan(s).

lol so just lemme get this straight, cus you know ole Kano, can't get things straight away. If my posts are longer than say...5 lines, and I use swear words, and some of what I say is negative towards someone or something, its a spazzout?!? OH RIGHT, thats it, you keep it up because it pisses the fucking shit out of me doesn't it.....doesn't it?!?....yeah great running joke you got there guys, I mean you invented it, right?!?

Naa good on ya, thats awesome, keep it up!

Look I'm gonna be honest. I don't care if this movie is worse than Street Fighter and MK Annihilation combined, I will see just for Kristin Kreuk in Chun-Li gear.

Hopefully the Alpha gear.

Yeah thats what I said about DOA, fuckin Holly Valance etc, but still, it nearly killed me. I can tell you right now I'll be entering the following or something close to this on You Tube after the film is released:

Legend of Chun Li, best bits, kristen kruek bits, chun kruek, kristen li, show us titties and shit off this shitty new street fighter film

Hopefully the gear that has the least fabric possible.

What you talkin?, she is too clothed. She might as well be wearing one of those burkas.

I like the leggy original attire as well, but I always liked the 'combat functional' suit better.

:lol: Talk about irony.

Well with a statement like that shrowded in such mystery, you will have to elaborate for the masses to even understand why there is irony, let alone give a fucking girls shit what you're actually on about.

Actually, for those of us with sufficient brain cells, the irony's pretty apparent.

But what do I know, I didn't do any research or go to film school.

[Looks up at his degree in Broadcast and Cinematic Arts]

Oh, wait.

So you got an opinion or not? You are wasting the pixels on my screen that render your message.

Dude, it ain't like any of us are expecting Citizen Kane here. At the very best it's a movie about a hot woman who kicks people's asses and wears skimpy clothing. And at the very worst, it's still a movie about a hot woman who kicks people's asses and wears skimpy clothing.

Street Fighter was a fun game franchise and an okay anime, but a film adaptation just isn't gonna work in any way except for a big dumb fight-sequence movie. So it'll either be fun-stupid or just regular stupid. Not worth flying off the handle like you've been doing, Kano.

lol you people truely are fucking idiots. Just because I swear in my posts and may or may not be negative at the same time, its not me pissed, in a mood, 'flying off the handle' or whatever ok, its just my way of expression. Cus to me, you people need to relax, taking my language so seriously.

I'll try in a more TPWWer language....

The concept of a film focusing on the Chun-Li character as a protagonist is an idea I would rate as being pointless, lame and highly stupid. For one, Chun-Li is by far the least character I would consider being made into a legend.

If I were to pitch an idea straight away, it would be to bring one of the anime films to live action. Ken & Ryu & Akuma story, hell, even one about Blanka and Guile would be better.

This film is obviously going to try and compete with such spin-offs as Wolverine and Magneto - an attempt I cannot see even coming close to being competition. Apart from the points I have already made, Kristen Kruek is nowhere near any kind of status where she can carry a whole film as the lead role, let alone bring the film's attention to a new audience. Of course there will be the die-hard smallville fans, and the horny teenage boy TA, but come on, since when was that enough - Aeon Flux, DOA - it is futile.

Of course, like I said, I could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure, a few months after this film is released, you will see this topic bumped up with a post from me with the words 'I TOLD YOU SO' in the centre of the page.

I understand were not going to be getting a Citizen Kane here, and to think I would think that is very silly, but that doesn't excuse the asshole who gave the fucking green light on this piece of shit. Sorry I tried, we shall see.

Dude, I was agreeing with you about the fact that the movie's probably going to suck. The 'fucking idiots' bit really wasn't necessary, and pretty much only serves to make you look like an asshole.

Dude, I am an asshole.

But seriously, you said I had been flying off the handle. My flying off the handle looks nothing like that. I think people just think I am more serious than I actually am purely because I swear, and because they think 'it gets to me', which in a way it does but only to the point where I am beginning to think they are being serious on their part.

Well, that explains that then.

Back to topic: the movie's gonna be mindless brain-candy, but it can't be any worse than the video-game flicks Uwe Boll puts out.

If you can call what he does filmmaking.

House of the Dead had potential. Not his version, just potential as an adaptation.

Anything with Kristen Kalyx kicking is worth my attention. Akuma be damned.

Not enough tits

I'm a breast guy, but some things you gotta get over for love.

Bullshit



Gotta get tits, or no love.

I'd bang Kristin Kreuk even if the MIB would erase that from my memory as a stipulation.

Then you probably already have. :( Hooray, child-bodied half-Asians.

An awesome thought. :D
