Apparently so. Kristin Kreuk Cast as Chun-Li in Street Fighter Movie. I kinda agree with the comment about Kelly Hu as Chun-Li. Sure they'd have to skew the movie a little older, but Kelly Hu would make me cream the seat. Not that Kristin isn't purty or nothing, but I just don't see it. Also, being Chun-Li centric of all things (as opposed to Guile or Ryu and Ken) is a bit odd IMO.

Kreuk doesn't have the ebony horse thighs, though. They might as well cast Bernie Mac as Ryu!

They probably would, too.

The first character I ever mastered was chun-li so this movie makes perfect sense to me.

My suggestion may sound a bit... outlandish, but they probably could have picked a not-yet-popular young Chinese actress(from America or whatever) to be Chun-Li.

Kreuk doesn't look insanely Chun-Li-y, and I bet if she (as Chun-Li) ever has to boss around police guys or interrogate bad guys, she'll sound as intimidating as Sarah Michelle Gellar. $:-\$

some fag commented:

The thing is she doesn't have much of a resume on screen to talk about so its difficult to say if she'll be able to pull it off well or not.

Even before I knew anything about acting I knew better than to think that doing a bunch of movies makes someone a better actress.

So I replied with this:

As if having more motion picture credits makes her a better actress. You're one of those dumbshits that thinks on camera work = training. Fags like you shouldn't comment on acting. Burn your keyboard you sad desk jockey no one wants to read your uninformed moronic rantings.

"omg! She hasn't done a lot of movies! Only TV! This will somehow affect her actingz skillzorz!"

One day they will invent a device that allows me to reach through the internet and punch people like you in the face.

Wait....they are making another Street Fighter movie? Without Van Damme?

The producers say that it is. We can all go see it. They are getting paid off for their crimes, and our friends who have died at the box officewill have died for nothing. But, we can all go see it. Meanwhile, ideals like peace, freedom, and justice, they get packed up. But, we can all go see it. Well, I'm not going to see it.. I'm gonna get on my boat, and I'm going up river, and I'm going to kick that son of a bitch Producer's ass so hard that the next wannabe is gonna feel it! Now, who wants to go home... and who wants to go with me?

Ha, yeah. That's a great point. Besides authenticy issues, they wouldn't have to pay her as much as Kreuk and could either find big names for other roles or spend that portion of the budget on advertising or elsewhere on the movie. In a perfect world, they would've done as you suggested. And I'm certain you're right on your last point, too. I don't mind Gellar when she's casted correctly but she's obviously not a tough girl by any standard, the Slayer or not. I find moments where she's supposed to be threatening jarring (almost funny sometimes). I'm tired of all of these doe-eyed heroines like her and Jennifer Garner.

I don't think Kreuk will deliver much more than slick-looking fluff. Not really a comment on her acting so much as I don't think she could be a very cool Chun-Li. They'll dress her in black pleather and have her do wire work while rap music or Linkin Park plays in the background and she bats her eyelashes.

I'm surprised they didn't get the Crouching Tiger chick to play Chun Li. Then again, she doesn't speak English, does she?

IDE · « **Reply #11 on:** Dec 31, 2007, 12:51:17 AM »

The fact that this chun-li isn't asian is starting to set in. This movie is probably going to suck on a van damme level.

Zhang Ziyi is either learning or is trainable, considering that she was Karai in TMNT. She would've made a pretty cute Chun-Li.

Nothing can suck as much as the original Street Fighter Movie. Nothing.

IDE · « **Reply #14 on:** Jan 01, 2008, 07:45:43 PM »

Probably not, but I don't know how many characters they are going to try and cram into this movie.

I think this Chun-Li movie will make a more than valid attempt.

You carelessly forgot Mortal Kombat: Annihilation. It was just as bad, if not worse, than Van Damme Street Fighter.

Derrick · « **Reply #21 on:** Feb 20, 2008, 05:33:46 AM »

But the original kicked all kinds of ass. A little cheezy, but then so was the game.

Shit, I need to get it on DVD.

Not "carelessly" so much that it was so awful, I wiped any memory of it from my brain along with "Batman and Robin".

If you're willing to eat these mushrooms that grow out of cow shit before watching them the MK movies are pretty awesome.

Bitey the Snail · « **Reply #24 on:** Feb 20, 2008, 11:43:33 AM »

Yeah, because you're watching it with BSE.

Bitey the Snail · « **Reply #25 on:** Feb 20, 2008, 11:43:58 AM »

And the second movie is the horrible one. The first one wasn't that bad.

Wickedly Yours E · « **Reply #26 on:** Feb 20, 2008, 02:43:34 PM »

I never bothered watching Mortal Kombat Annihilation. Or Any other MK movie, ever.

At least watch the first one. Ideally, borrow the DVD and you can do a fast-watch if you don't care for parts of it. It's not bad.
