So I just finished watching Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun-Li. In it, Kristin Kreuk plays Chun-Li who occasionally blurts out Chinese phrases (in both Cantonese and Mandarin) with a terrible, terrible accent. If you understand Cantonese, you’ll find this clip above, which I’ve edited slightly, to be laugh-out-loud funny.
For those who are wondering, YES, I do recommend that you watch this film. Simply because it is so bad — so bad that it’s actually kind of entertaining.
RISD student Dylan Hayes stripped Street Fighter II down to its most basic graphic elements to show what the game might look like if it were made for the Atari 2600. It seems though that he only did the work on the characters and the level itself rather than the overlay graphics. But it’s still cool nonetheless. [via]
I’ve embedded an audio clip above from Spill.com of a review of Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun-Li. As you already know, the movie is not making particularly good strides in review-land and this is just another example of how terrible the movie is.
My favorite part:
Apparently they kidnapped the plot to this movie too, because nothing, nothing, I swear to God, nothing makes sense. They made this shit up as they went along. They did this movie like an ad-lib.
LOL. I have a feeling this review is better than the movie itself.
Norman tipped me off to the awful reviews of the movie Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun-Li over at RottenTomatoes and boy are they funny to read. The movie is so bad that it’s being called one of the worst movies ever made by more than one reviewer. And to top it off, RottenTomatoes gives the film an overall 0% rating. I mean, did anybody think making another Street Fighter movie was a good idea? Oh wait, apparently, at least one whole crew and production team did.
