Yeah, I'm keen to see it... you're right though, I imagine SOMETHING will need to be taken beforehand to make it bearable!

The only _REAL_ M.Bison is, as we all should know, the late Raul Julia   ;D I'm sure the new movie will suck, but will it suck in a 'so bad its good' kind of way (this is how I appreciate the original Street Fighter live action).  Time will tell...

I fear it will not - it looks like it's taking itself quite seriously. I'm with you, I actually quite like the Street Fighter movie, it's just so corny!
So yeah, I'm expecting this new one to be pretty mediocre in that it's not a great action flick, but not a hilariously bad one either. I feel I need to support it though because it has the words Street Fighter on it somewhere... damn me...

Fucking Taboo... that's just ridiculous. And as VEGA? Supposedly a beautiful warrior? Pscah!

I thought the Vega in the SF movie wasn't too bad... but taboo?!?!?!?!? BLAHRHGH

Hahah, first review is up

Quote
Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun Li enters theaters without much to live up to. But quite amazingly, this movie makes the first one seem like The Godfather in comparison. Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun Li is an early candidate for worst film of the year.  "

Rumor has it that this movie is so bad that it will make you pull out your eyes with your own hands and squish them!

And somehow, even his MASK looks bad.
The one good thing they could have done to make him resemble vega.. oh well =(

I think the term "Supreme fail" aptly sums up the tone of this review :)

Vega wears the mask to hide his ugliness? WHAT DA FARK

I have a shrine to the original Street Fighter live action movie, with the dvd and OST proudly on display. This new movie looks so horrid, it's not even on SFTM's level of awesomeness.

Actually, I have the dvd and the soundtrack also... they are definitely not setup in a shrine-like-formation though...

Ok, watched a really shitty quality camrip of this last night...

It wasn't nearly as bad as I was expecting it to be. There were actually even a couple of scenes I'd quite like to see in better quality (while the last fight vs Bison looks like it was choreographed so badly they had to chop up the footage enough that you have no idea what was going on, he does one punch which looked fuckin sweet as).
The fight vs Vega was hilariously short.
Fireballs were particularly crappily cged.

But yeah, I really didn't think it was that bad. Maybe I'm just retarded? Anyone else seen it?

Review of the dvd version!
http://www.dvdtalk.com/reviews/37629/street-fighter-the-legend-of-chun-li-unleashed-and-unrated/

Well worth a read. I hope this gets released in NZ so I can buy it, I reckon it's easily as classic as the first SF live action movie.

Nash Out!!!!
