Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun Li

[dominochan]

Words do not even BEGIN to describe how bad this movie is. Let's take a look, shall we?

-EVERYONE phoned in his or her performances.

-Retarded Kitten!Charlie. They ALMOST went through the whole movie calling him Nash, too. Probably the best part of the whole flick.

-Chun Li is a concert pianist.

-M. Bison is Irish, had a child with an Asian woman. Baby is named ROSE.

-Vega gets defeated in 20 seconds.

-Everyone in Thailand can speak English.

-Gen's in his 40s.

-Spinning Bird Kick caused Todd to walk out of the theater.

The only thing I think they got right is Bison killing Chun Li's father. Even that was done badly. Now you guys know why I had so much to drink before I saw this piece of shit. :|

See, I saw this preview and I seriously lost all faith in humanity.

Thanks for the review, I VERY definitely will not see that piece of garbage now.

Awesome. I think if you were to download the movie, you'll still feel cheated.

But, I will admit it was fun to watch all liquored up and with friends who know the source material. It made for some awesome MSTing.

Bison also = GEEEESUH.

Was it worse than the Raul Julia version?

[dominochan.livejournal.com]

Yes.

At least the Raul Julia version was entertaining in its crappiness.

CALLED
IT

LOL

Yes, yes you did.

I would think Gen being in his 40s could at least be balanced by Gen being Robin Shou. Ahh well.

There was more, but this was good for starters, I think. XD

I'm still mad they covered the awesome bounciness of Robin Shou's hair. WTF? Bouncy hair that makes you want to poke the screen would've been the one spot of WIN in that movie.

[dominochan.livejournal.com]

Not even his awesome hair could save this movie. Granted, it would've been a definite highlight.

"-Spinning Bird Kick caused Todd to walk out of the theater."


Bestest.
Evah!

The moment Chun pulled that move, Todd threw his hands up, said, "That's it." and walked out of the theater. He came back like 10 minutes later.

PFFF!

I can only assume he didn't miss much in terms of plot.
Wait... was there plot?

[dominochan.livejournal.com]

I don't think he missed anything of importance.

Plot-wise, it was this: Chun Li witnesses dad kidnapped, goes on weird journey fueled by poor decisions, watches dad die by Bison's hands, then goes to defeat Bison and kills him in front of his daughter... yes, daughter.

You've summed it up nicely, I say.
