Eric Stevenson I remember reading Leonard Maltin's review of both "Street Fighter" movies. He first said that the original from 1994 was the worst movie ever based on a video game. Then he said this one made that one look like "Citizen Kane"! Yeah, I can agree with him. Whereas the original film was extremely stupid with horrible acting, at least they had the nerve to actually make the characters look the same way they do in the games. In this one, they could barely even get a single costume right. Even Vega's mask looked off! You could in fact change the name of every character and the title and absolutely no one would know it was based on "Street Fighter".None of the characters look or act anything like their video game counterparts. Why did they make these drastic changes anyway? Why even make it a "Street Fighter" movie? Why not just make it an original idea? I don't even think people would accuse it of ripping off "Street Fighter" because of how unrelated it is! It would still be horrendous either way. Even the plot is completely stupid. It features M. Bison being the father of Rose and he actually created her so he could sacrifice his good nature directly into her to become evil. We even see a flashback where he literally performs a C-section on her mother. He still has a soft spot for her. Why? He's pure evil now! Most of the hair colors weren't even right! I would expect a "Street Fighter" movie to have the main character Ryu in it, but they couldn't even do that! They didn't even have the secondary character, Ken in it! Ryu is in fact mentioned at the VERY end of the film when discussing an actual "Street Fighter" tournament. Chun-Li says she isn't interested so the film doesn't even technically set up a sequel! Granted, it's wonderful that it didn't, but still very misleading. I admit to not being that familiar with the newer "Street Fighter" characters.Of course, I didn't have to be to even know that they were represented horribly. Everyone in this movie is stupid, even the extras! There's one scene where someone's shot and a crowd responds by throwing fruit at the shooter. Yeah, I think that'll stop guns. Most of these characters serve no purpose with no distinct personalities. You could literally replace them with anyone else and no one would notice the difference. In the end, M. Bison is defeated by having bags fall on him. Wow, it's a "Home Alone" prank that does him in. This is idiotic in every sense, but I guess it might be because it's worse than the already awful 1994 movie. Not for fans, critics, moviegoers or ANYONE. Zero stars

eeveeespionfan2 Honestly this movie goes down the same path as DragonBall Evolution while being a street fighter movie, it follows its own stupid story, M.Bison wasn't a leader of a drug ring or whatever they said he was and to be honest, i don't like the actor portraying Bison, also what the heck was wrong with Vega? everything was wrong with Vega.... and not to mention... NO RYU? yeah there is no Ryu, no Ken, heck there isn't even a Dan... Im not even going to mention the fact that Chun Li looks white, also where is Akuma, Blanka, or even any of the other Street Fighter characters? in conclusion, stop...just stop it and don't make another bad movie based off a video game... Im looking at you Hit-man:Agent 47

reviewed reviewed Plot Summary: Kristen Kreuk lends tired clichés to a montage depicting her childhood relationship with her father. Suddenly Balrog (Michael Clarke Duncan) bursts through the kitchen window, catches a can of frozen OJ that has been kicked at him, laughs maniacally and starts a fight with Chun-Li's (Kreuk's) father. Kung-fu ensues, and Bison reveals that he moves so quickly gusts of wind herald his arrival. Bison and Balrog kidnap Chun-Li's father. Fast forward: wealthy Juliard grad and concert pianist Chun-Li decides that some old lady's translation of a vague ancient scroll she received in the mail is a convincing argument for her to abscond to Bangkok to live on the street while she searches for some guy named Gen. Eventually Gen becomes her master, we discover her father is still alive and the financial backbone of Bison's criminal organization, the most unlikely interpol agent you ever could cast (Klein) is bumping rap music while maintaining a healthy sexual interest in a Thai detective (Bloodgood) and doing no useful police work, Chun-Li lures a lesbian to a bathroom to beat information out of her, Vega appears briefly, and the diabolical plot of Bison to tear down the slums of Bangkok and develop townhouses is revealed. Two Hadouken-like energy blobs are fired off in total.Good: Kreuk surprisingly, hearing her say "these streets" in a wistful tone particularly satisfying in a bad>good way. Some decent kung-fu, hilariously awful four man gun-circle around Kreuk which she dispatches handily by break dancing, Klein being a total weirdo, Klein noticing the most obviously placed bomb/wireless-router with an L.E.D glued onto the front ever and jumping out of the buildings as it explodes. Lots of heartless death. Kreuk/Lesbian hench-woman share strange courting ritual that resembles bad dancing.Bad: It's all bad in some respect.Ugly: Use of screen-time, involvement of police, bad guy's endgame, casting in general (not Kreuk), lack of commitment to either realism or "powers" of street fighters: instead movie treads awkward middle ground, Bison's backstory, Vega's character, the Hadouken-like energy ball thingy, cops losing a tail due to imposed make-out/cover-up of surveillance by Klein, Bison manipulates well-connected businessmen and crime bosses like they are twelve and openly confronts police forces with armed security forces bearing the logo of his company. In short the plot.Strangely watchable if you can remain un-phased by all the terrible things that make this a terrible movie in order to appreciate kreuk kicking ass and Klein sucking it in their respective roles.

Chrysanthepop Andrzej Bartkowiak's 'Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun-Li' has been tagged as 'the worst movie' but it's a B-movie, so what does one expect. It's pretty much the standard white people save the poor people in a poor country. The movie is 'set' in Thailand where the white people are rescuing the poor Thai's from the evil white people. There are a bunch of American actors pretending to be Thai including the lead heroine, Kristin Kreuk. The film has a few interesting fight sequences but they lack authenticity. The acting is quite poor although Kreuk does try. Chris Klein's Interpol agent is incredibly annoying. 'Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun-Li' obviously does not stay true to the video game on which it was supposedly based. Anyway, there isn't much else I want to say about it. Surely one can find something better to watch.
