This is actually the trailer for the Street Fighter movie
We had our doubts about upcoming film Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun Li, but they've all been quieted by its first Japanese trailer, which you can see right after the break. Finally, this Kristin Kreuk vehicle has shown us some footage and jump-kicked its way right into our hearts.
As far as we can tell, there are only two differences -- quibbles, really -- between the game and the movie. 1. None of the movie characters look remotely like their game counterparts and 2. The sensation of playing Street Fighter isn't typically like having hot garbage thrown in our faces.
But other than that ...

Are we REALLY sure Uwe Boll didn't direct this atrocity?
Mal F4cti0n @ Dec 29th 2008 6:15PM
Hahaha!
That is what I was thinking!
And at what point do bazookas come into play in Street Fighter? Why don't they make a story about a fighting competition.

The Dark Wayne @ Dec 29th 2008 5:35PM
why is Micheal Clarke Duncan in so many movies?
Alsom did anyone else see Inspector Clouseau in there?
zuburi @ Dec 29th 2008 6:50PM
When Hollywood needs a black guy, you either call him or Ving Rhames!
LaughingTarget @ Dec 29th 2008 7:29PM
Watching Michael Clark Duncan shoot a missile launcher is worth the price of the $5 before noon on a weekday admission.

I hope he sings in this movie. Greatest voice ever...

Hala Madrid!! (Somebody get me a tie! And it sure as hell better be red!) @ Dec 29th 2008 5:44PM
Where's Jean-Claude Van Damme?!
No no, this is not right. :(
Obie @ Dec 29th 2008 6:29PM
Ya know, say whatever you want about the Jean Claude movie, but at least that movie got the looks of most of the characters right and didn't take itself seriously.
Hala Madrid!! (Somebody get me a tie! And it sure as hell better be red!) @ Dec 29th 2008 6:44PM
Dude, the first Street Fighter movie kicked ass! well, at least Chin li looked asian.

Looks looks...straight to DVD...
infernus @ Dec 29th 2008 5:49PM
You sure this is the right trailer? I can't even begin to put together who's who.
Boofa @ Dec 29th 2008 5:55PM
That's because none of the people look like who they're playing. They've got a dude from the Black Eyed Peas playing Vega for goodness sake, and the blonde dude from Band of Brothers is supposed to be M.Bison.
FAIL!
The Dark Wayne @ Dec 29th 2008 6:24PM
I really like Neil McDonugh, but he is definitely not right for that role, hell this entire movie isn't right
Boofa @ Dec 29th 2008 6:51PM
Don't get me wrong, I really like him too (just didn't know his name), but he is NOT M. Bison.
Deadpool @ Dec 29th 2008 10:43PM
They didn't even change his hair color black? I mean how much effort would that take from this guy? He looks the same in every movie he's in, he could've changed his hair color. At least Raul Julia tried to become Bison.
They must have got Geese Howard confused with Bison, because he's looks more like Geese from Fatal Fury.
Adrian @ Dec 29th 2008 5:52PM
So I should be glad the computers at work don't have speakers? Is that what the comments so far are saying.
lgndk11r @ Dec 29th 2008 5:54PM
Anyone else expecting Goku making an appearance?
Adrian @ Dec 29th 2008 5:58PM
Chun Li: My father saved his village at the cost of his own life. You had him shot as you ran away. A hero at a thousand paces!
Bison: I'm sorry... I don't remember any of it.
Chun Li: You don't remember?
Bison: For you, the day Bison graced your village was the most important day of your life. But for me... it was Tuesday.

Chun-Li: You killed my-
Bison: Yes yes, I killed your father. What is it with you women? I killed my father and you don't hear me complaining about it.
Wiinterfang @ Dec 29th 2008 6:14PM
You...YOUR A LOSER!!!
YES!!YES!!!
BISON!!!
NO NO THE TEETH!!
Everything is lies, EBRYTING ISLAIS!!!

Bison: Yes yes, I killed your father. What is it with you women? I killed my father and you don't hear me complaining about it.
or
Bison: I have a war room full of U.N. Peace workers and my scientist are injecting some army pig called vega with anger and testosterone. I know I am evil and mad. I am at peace with it, why cant the world just accept me as their leader. Gosh whine, whine! I mean look at the food court I am building!
Dr Jeckyl and Mr ESC. @ Dec 29th 2008 6:56PM
Is hard to say Street fighter movie and the cartoon sucked when M.Bison was so hilarious.Seriously I think M.Bison was the only reason why I watched that at all.
Obie @ Dec 29th 2008 7:20PM
Agreed, Raul Julia was a treat to watch, he was so over the top, enjoying the hell out of eating the scenery.
jimmygotsmack @ Dec 29th 2008 10:10PM
Strangly enough, the Street Fighter cartoon was atleast better then the Street fighter II V anime series.
You know, the one where Ryu is a lumber jack, chun-li is a tour guide, Balrog "the boxer" wears glasses and a suit and isn't a boxer but an assassin.
O and how ryu finally does a hoduken in the last five episodes.
jimmygotsmack @ Dec 29th 2008 10:16PM
Well, while we're here, BISON!!!!!!!

NOOOOOO!
Adrian @ Dec 30th 2008 4:18PM
I epically failed! It is blanka not vega!
Chris @ Dec 29th 2008 5:57PM
If I end up seeing this, it will STRICTLY be because of Robin Shou.
Vegeta (aka Ska Oreo) @ Dec 29th 2008 5:58PM
What is this I don't even...
Seriously this makes Dragonball Evolutions look like Crouching Tiger hidden Dragon.
Noshino @ Dec 29th 2008 6:15PM
what?...
HAVE YOU SEEN THE TRAILER FOR DRAGON BALL EVOLUTION?
It looks like a direct-to-youtube budget movie...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=64fZMN2Qu0w
I mean, really? REALLY?
Vegeta (aka Ska Oreo) @ Dec 29th 2008 6:18PM
And this(Chun-Li) movie trailer looks even worse. Which is why I said Dragonball looks better by comparison.
Dr Jeckyl and Mr ESC. @ Dec 29th 2008 6:53PM
Wrong Sir.Dragonball still looks like crap, this one looks better but to be honest I’m still trying to figure out what did I just saw.
It looks generic in areas where dragon ball looks embarrassingly bad.
zuburi @ Dec 29th 2008 6:53PM
Thanks for the link, Noshino! The YouTube comments provided me with such gems as
"what a load of crap, there saying the dragonballs where created by seven mystics, when they should have it as kami the guardian of earth, who every dbz fan knows is piccolios good half, that would of been better to have as its more true to the story."
Fucking Dragonball fans!
Kye says: I hate friend codes...Nintendo! @ Dec 29th 2008 7:59PM
After seeing the Street Fighter one I was suicidal. Then I watched the Dragon Ball one,
now im too depressed to kill myself.
Im gona cry myself to sleep.
my life and memories, they hurt so much.
Why ma? Why is there so much pain?
Omega2k3 @ Dec 29th 2008 9:12PM
What a bunch of negativity. They looked decent at least, but under produced. I bet if the actors fit the roles in both, and the production value were higher, you would be screaming fanboys. There really isn't much of a market for video game movies and live-action adaptions of anime, so I'm not surprised that they aren't as good as they can be.
Plus, you haven't even seen the movie, just the trailer. Good job being tools.
