Rating: 0/5 stars
There was a Street Fighter movie made in the 90s starring Jean-Claude Van Damme and Raul Julia which was seen as the poster-child of why video games make bad movies. That movie was so bad because of plot, acting, and corniness.
Enter the newest installment of the Street Fighter movie "franchise." The Legend of Chun-Li obviously focuses on Chun-Li's story in the world of Bangkok, Thailand ruled by M. Bison. Ironically, M. Bison (supposed to be an Asian man in the video game) is played by the bad guy from Walking Tall (a very white dude). His character thus seems a little strange. Also, the violence in this movie is self-indulgent to say the least. Half of the things that happen are so uneccessary that they seem ridiculous.
Also strangely present in this movie is a lesbian dance scene between Chun-Li and M. Bison's woman. It lasts for like 5 minutes and is so freaking strange.
Overall, this movie might be in the top 5 of the worst movies of all time... maybe. Definately do not waste the 8 bucks or whatever you pay to see it in theaters. If you are really bored in about 3 weeks (since that's how long it will be until it's on video) rent it. Michael Clark Duncan is the bomb in this movie though.
