Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun-Li (2009)
Director: Andrzej Bartkowiak
Movie review
From Time Out Chicago
Let it never be said that Capcom hasn’t gotten its mileage out of the Street Fighter franchise (I’ve personally lost years of my life to its various incarnations). Perennial nemesis Bison (McDonough)—suddenly Irish—breaks up the family of Chun-Li (Kreuk). She enlists the help of the mystical Gen, portrayed by Shou—whom you may remember as Liu Kang from Mortal Kombat. Fighting ensues. This painful background tale of the schoolgirl master of the really slow fireball attack almost makes one yearn for the days of Jean-Claude Van Damme.Author: Drew Toal
