Shadaloo Lounge celebrates 'Legend of Chun-Li' DVD release, awards $2000

by Xav de Matos on Jun 30th 2009 12:00AM

Do not adjust your eyes, you are seeing multiple Chun-Lis. After transforming LA's Chinatown Mountain Bar into M. Bison's favorite watering hole, Mike Ross was awarded $2,000 for placing first in best-of-16 Street Fighter IV tournament. The one-night-only event was organized by Capcom and I Am 8-bit to "celebrate" the DVD and Blu-ray release of Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun-Li. We think "celebrate" is the wrong word, but according to Capcom's Unity blog, that's what the party was organized for.

We send our congratulations to Mike for winning the tourney and send our condolences to Capcom for being forced to giveaway nearly all profit* they extracted from the travesty that was Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun-Li.

*For the record, Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun-Li made a few million bones, but it was one helluva train wreck.

The reason the movie sucked is because they forgot to add Chun-Li's massive arms and hands.

Don't you mean her massive thighs and breasts?

If Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun-Li was billed as a 75%-comedy in the spirit of Drag Me to Hell I would have considered it a masterpiece.

Drag me to Hell? 75% comedy? It's got a shockingly high average score on Metacritic for what I'd perceived to be a horror/thriller flick, is that not what kinda movie it is?

Girlfriend and I love scary movies so we were thinking about hitting it up, but I'd have to pass if it's actually as much comedy as you're suggesting :P

most "horror" movies are comedies now anyways. my bloody valentine? PSSHH.

Yeah if we hadn't gone to see that in 3D it really would've been bordering on untolerable. While My Bloody Valentine was jam packed with typically cliche horror movie gimmicks, I don't think it was necessarily trying to be a comedy.

It's SUPPOSED to be part comedy, you fool! Army of Darkness style!

Oh, my bad, it seems you understand.

HOWEVER, I would like to provide my unconditional recommendation of the masterpiece that is drag me to hell.

You'll jump a few times and laugh your ass off for the rest of the movie. Some parts are fairly intense, though, just due to Sam Raimi's dedication towards pushing the limits of good taste.

@markez

don't see drag me to hell! It's dumb
*Spoilers* the main evil is a button. There I said it. A friggin button. Sooo stupid!

I never have been able to see the word *spoiler and not read past it. Obviously, I have no one to blame but myself, but thanks a pantload :P

yeah, everytime i see "SPOILERS", i just wanna read past it and spoil everything. i have a thing for spoilers though. like i was on the battle of hogwarts chapter in the last harry potter book and i was getting impacient so i just went on wikipedia are read what happened and then read it for myself. weird right?

Thats why I like giving spoilers that are totally fictitious. That way, when watching if they remember my "spoiler" they keep anticipating it throughout the story.

I have had people come up to me afterward utterly confused assuming they missed something. ^ . ^

A taste of Raimi's previous horror / comedy masterpiece, Bruce Cambell vs. Army of Darkness

"Alright you Primitive Screwheads, listen up! You see this? This... is my boomstick! The twelve-gauge double-barreled Remington. S-Mart's top of the line. You can find this in the sporting goods department. That's right, this sweet baby was made in Grand Rapids, Michigan. Retails for about a hundred and nine, ninety five. It's got a walnut stock, cobalt blue steel, and a hair trigger. That's right. Shop smart. Shop S-Mart. You got that?"

I could keep going with these quotes all day; it's just about as quotable as a movie can get.

THAT'S RIGHT, THE MAIN EVIL IS A BUTTON AND A GOAT-DEMON!!!!!

DO YOU NOT SEE HOW FUCKING AWESOME THIS IS?!?!?!

I LOVE Army of Darkness.

If you don't mind the distinct lack of Bruce Campbell, you should go see Drag Me to Hell

i'm buying the dvd for some laughs

I hope it comes with a collection of all the reviews!!!

Rent. Even laughing at the movie it isn't worth buying.

How Dare you! LOL jk. But seriously do not give these people your money. They should be paying you to even consider purchasing this.

Don't listen to your penis. This movie is terrible, and you should not pay to watch it.

lol!

Chris Klein's atrocious performance alone is reason enough for me to see the movie. Nash out!

Chris Klein was my avatar for months after seeing that movie.

Now I switched it over to Michael Clark Duncan as Balrog.

Let me tell you, that gamer picture pack is the gift that keeps on giving.

Why wasn't this event announced earlier (or was it)?

It helps b/c I can pass on to certain radio contacts I have down in Socal, maximize exposure and all...

We did write about it before the event. Check the first hyperlink in the story.

So did he get to keep all the Chun li's after?

The chun li in the middle looks like a guy. The chun li on the right? Shwing!!

That is a word that needs to come back... SHWING! Is the one in the middle even Asian? I would like to see the rest of the chick on the right in order for me to semi-standup and thrust my hips slightly before I go "Swhing"! Start using the word ppl!

Shwing. A word of epic proportions.

hey thats JESS from allgames interactive on the right. GO JESS ON THE FRONT PAGE OF JOYSTIQ!!!!!!!!!!!!!! allgames.com

oops i mean on the left

Btw, She is no longer a part of http://allgames.com
She's a part of http://gamegirl.com/ now.

Mike Ross is the nastiest Honda in all the land
Good job Mike!

That movie had bad acting, bad (and wrong) storyline, terrible lines, but pretty images.

I was going to ask if the movie was released to theaters yet, but apparently, that already happened?

What a great piece of cinema.

such a huge box for so little money

ugh i hate hookers like that. :P

Any one of those Chun-Li's look a thousand times more like Chun-Li than the one in the movie. They are probably equally as good at acting, considering it takes no effort.

I have to admit I had a great time watching Legend of Chun-Li, just because we went on the Thursday after it opened at the earliest screening and NO ONE but me and my friend were there, so we could loudly and openly heckle it the entire time.

I think they meant to say the prize was to say sorry for the film, not to celebrate it.

Three Chun-Lis and one guy is my life long dream.

I love the random "thumbs up" in that pic.

Yea that is hilarious.

Mike Ross is a boss. Too bad Justin Wong wasn't at this one.

does he get the three chun li too
damn they're hot

its true what they say, they all look alike.

yeah, your mother really DOES look a lot like one of those trailer trash whores.

I would like to use 1000 palm strike on any of those chun-li's
