Behold: Kristin Kreuk as Chun-Li

by Ludwig Kietzmann { May 23rd 2008 at 9:55PM }

Capcom's community blog has posted the above photo of Kristin Kreuk in brawler-to-film adaptation, Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun-Li. Though we don't get to see the high-kicking agent's leg-end, we're told Kreuk "is Chun Li assuredly in this sexy photo." We don't disagree, but it's not Chun-Li until we see some freakishly huge hands. Feel free to, uh, pore over the terrifyingly large and detailed version of the photo if you want.

I haven't seen her hands but I can already tell you she needs bigger ones

steve @ May 24th 2008 1:00PM

that lobster claw thumb still gives me nightmares

Dan @ May 24th 2008 4:23PM

Wow, she really does look like a muscular chinese martial arts expert....

....

... NOT!!

Chris @ May 23rd 2008 10:07PM

she's cute

Nick the Hero of Canton @ May 23rd 2008 10:57PM

I'll be in my bunk.

nealpro @ May 23rd 2008 11:16PM

+ for Firefly reference.

Rein @ May 23rd 2008 10:08PM

Looks more like Kristin Kreuk as Kristin Kreuk...

Phi Nguyen @ May 23rd 2008 10:41PM

Yeah, as hot as Kristin Kreuk is, she's not Chun Li material at all. Even Tila Tequila would have been a better choice (and that's not saying much, is it?) Who do you guys think should have been cast instead, because I have no clue.

John McPoop (PSN:johnnynumber5) @ May 23rd 2008 11:12PM

How about that asian chick from Kill Bill Lucy Lieu

Phi Nguyen @ May 24th 2008 12:05AM

Lucy Liu is way too old (age 40). Plus, she's got that...hmmm...what's it called...it's not lazy eye... Have you ever known a person that, when they're looking directly at you, it seems like they're not looking at you? It's like they're looking around you. She's got that real bad.

cellulitis @ May 24th 2008 4:31AM

Kristin Kreuk is hot...Tila Tequila is 3rd world fugly...sorry nugyen

Phi Nguyen @ May 24th 2008 12:00PM

No offense taken. Personally, I think Tila resembles a gremlin and makes all of us Vietnamese people look like heroin addicts, but whatever. My point was that as gorgeous as Kristin Kreuk is, Chun-Li she is not. Even if they put a steamy shower scene in this movie (please, do it!), I can't accept her as one of my favorite Street Fighter Characters. Plus, a wooden mannequin would make a better lead actor.

Jfk Aok @ May 24th 2008 5:51PM

it's called down syndrome, nguyen

ballistic @ May 23rd 2008 10:09PM

nope doesn't look like her at all. you would think they would at least dress her up in her standard qipao and ox horns. but it isn't all about the look, we can be ensured of top quality multidimensional potrayal of her and the deep and engaging story line right?..... right?

*sobs in the corner*

Ken Seang @ May 23rd 2008 10:10PM

I dont know what people want some women with muscles, they just look unnatural to me... Have you seen women body builders??? Anyways, she cute enough to watch...

Noshino @ May 23rd 2008 10:14PM

maybe because the movie is called "Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun-Li" and so we want Chun-Li to be portrayed as close as possible?

Anticrawl @ May 23rd 2008 10:16PM

"I like a woman who can kick my ass." Hahahaha, yeah I like my girls a little meaty.

Noshino @ May 23rd 2008 10:19PM

triple whooper kind of meaty?....

Anticrawl @ May 23rd 2008 10:42PM

Nah, but I'd rather not see boney shoulders or rib cages.

Noshino @ May 23rd 2008 10:18PM

I still think that Jackie Chan should have a few roles on this movie...

Zorink @ May 24th 2008 3:16AM

He makes a surprisingly better Chun-Li

RFR @ May 23rd 2008 10:26PM

I don't like you Anticrawl. I just wanted to let you know.

Nushio (NDF - Blue) @ May 24th 2008 12:52AM

Chill man, I bet he's going to go cry in a corner or something.

Ninjakamster (XBL: RNK2K) @ May 23rd 2008 10:32PM

Yeah..............I'm not feeling it.

Noshino @ May 23rd 2008 10:35PM

WELL, YAH, you have to let it rest now and then...

Ninjakamster (XBL: RNK2K) @ May 23rd 2008 10:56PM

Oh whoops. : 0

NukeAssault @ May 23rd 2008 10:38PM

Oh God, I can see forever. O_O

LaughingTarget @ May 23rd 2008 10:38PM

I doubt it is very good for an actress' image when they play parts that don't call for makeup. There is a nasty zit to the right side (our right) of her nose. Probably isn't too happy to get that in HD.

DWells55 @ May 23rd 2008 10:45PM

I'm not seeing it. There's a small imperfection in her complexion on her left cheek and that's about it. Look at the high-res version. Personally I think she looks great, so I'm not sure what you're talking about. Hell, the dirt looks better than a lot of the trashy overdone makeup that's common today.

A person @ May 23rd 2008 10:56PM

People aren't supposed to have silky smooth skin.

LaughingTarget @ May 23rd 2008 11:08PM

I'm aware skin isn't perfect, but the decades most acresses and actors spend putting on various layers of makeup to make it look that way, HD is not a particularly good thing.

Firewall @ May 23rd 2008 11:03PM

I think that's quite the hyperbole LT. I mean, I know I'm biased because I'm a big Smallville fan, but I think she looks great, even in Hyper HD. Kristin Kreuk ftw!

LaughingTarget @ May 23rd 2008 11:10PM

I'm a fan as well, though I'm more partial toward Allison Mack.

Firewall @ May 23rd 2008 11:20PM

When Allison started on the show I was luke warm about her, but now I'm big on her too. That being said, she cannot replace Lana! I'm sad to see her go but wish her the best.

Jake11 @ May 23rd 2008 11:09PM

god, i could every freaking pore on her face in that picture

Ethan @ May 24th 2008 3:13PM

I hate to think what word you missed out.

EMaster @ May 23rd 2008 11:13PM

Where is that DVD of Street Fighter The Movie? I think even that film was better than this piece of shit... DOES SHE LOOK FUCKING CHINESE TO YOU?!?!?!?!

LaughingTarget @ May 23rd 2008 11:20PM

To someone that has never left the confines of home and thinks everyone that has skin that isn't classified as "Mexican" or "Black" is therefore "Chinese", yes, she does look it.

Phi Nguyen @ May 23rd 2008 11:57PM

Well, by heritage, she is half-chinese.

John McPoop (PSN:johnnynumber5) @ May 23rd 2008 11:16PM

At least they got Cung Le to play Marshall Law in the Tekken movie ... he was a dead ringer sans porn stache ... at least he is a real deal martial artist and undefeated San Shou and MMA champion

Speaking of which ...

Anybody know about the next gen UFC game that was shown last year at E3 ... I think it had The Ice Man vs Sugar Rashad in the video and they fight reasonably soon ... Maybe a launch in the next few months?

Can't wait to see Tito get his ass whipped tomorrow night by Machida

LaughingTarget @ May 23rd 2008 11:21PM

They actually let Tito back after he pussied out against Dana?

Wii60Warrior @ May 23rd 2008 11:22PM

Damn she looks FIERCE in that pic...

I think they're intentionally trying to make her look hood just so she can pass for a tough gal. She's so hot that they don't want that to be the ONLY reaseon idiotic people go to see the movie.

Personally I'm glad. I hope the movie is good although I have serious doubts....

ComradeTrotskii @ May 23rd 2008 11:26PM

In an effort to find something amusing I googled 'muscular asian women'. Needless to say the results without safe search on were terrifying rather than amusing and largely inappropriate for posting here.

Now excuse me while I just do ah, ah a little bit more 'research' on Rebekah Kresila.
