I don't know... she doesn't look Chinese enough to be Chun Li... ah well I've always been a fan of street fighters so I'm going to watch when it comes out

Kristin Kreuk really? there wasn't anyone that remotely looks like chun li?

I am suspecting something really shady going on in the background ^^

are you suggesting lana lane fellated a movie exec. to get the part?
(ID #195719) Posted on 2008/05/24 14:10
Kristen Kruek is hot =O
(ID #16937) Posted on 2007/12/25 00:42
not going to argue with you there, but she's not really much of a Chun Li
(ID #16940) Posted on 2007/12/25 00:46
I just said that she's hot, not saying she can't be Chun-Li. But yeah...I agree with you guys though. Although, some people were wrong. Guess we'll have to wait till it comes out to see =D

there was a DOA movie?
(ID #290538) Posted on 2008/09/04 16:06
i agree.. they could find somebody unkown that looks even remotly like her, then theres the eye size... kristin has none >_<
(ID #16950) Posted on 2007/12/25 01:16
SF Zero aka Alpha Chun Li is the best version of her. I don't get why the classic design is more favoured.

while Kristin have some part of Indonesian (and dutch) blood in her, don't think she looks chinese (or even asian) enough to pass as chun-li..., even zhang si yi could have fill the role better than her

zhang ziyi could probably be a better actress for li but i believe she has standards. who would want to star in a Street Fighter movie? Isn't one street fighter movie enough? *cringes at the van damme version
(ID #16968) Posted on 2007/12/25 03:05
I quite liked the first movie actually.
(ID #16976) Posted on 2007/12/25 04:19
Oh great... Who was the one who chose the cast? The same guy that did the DOA movie? I mean at least they should try harder like perhaps somebody that is at least Asian... Well at least the upside is that i can cross another movie to look out for on my list.

it will probarbly be a standard game to live action movie=failure thing, but i think im gonna watch it anyhow just because shes bloody hawt :3
(ID #16965) Posted on 2007/12/25 02:48
woah! cant wait. loved chun-li a lot when i was a kid
(ID #16969) Posted on 2007/12/25 03:18
Her thighs ain't big enough.
(ID #16970) Posted on 2007/12/25 03:18
EXACTLY!!! And besides, I used to like Kristin but not anymore. Right now she's just plain annoying on Smallville. But yeah, we need bigger thighs here.
(ID #17089) Posted on 2007/12/25 15:39
Umm, that's kinda lame considering they could do Street Fighter: Legend of Cammy alot more easier and believable. I wonder if Van Damme would be in as a cameo for Guile tho? LOLz. Can' t wait to read the reviews.
(ID #16973) Posted on 2007/12/25 03:35
are her legs big enough?
(ID #16978) Posted on 2007/12/25 04:28

She's still got time to train her thighs... I assume they want some kind of a name for the movie. I'm kinda looking forward to it since Kristin is playing her. You guys prefer Ming Na to play Chun-li again? :P I kinda thought Lana Lang was too Asian in Smallville...
(ID #16979) Posted on 2007/12/25 04:48
Uh, she's white... Yeaaaahhh... Go Hollywood! I Can't wait for "The Story of Thailand" starring Tom Cruise and Julia Roberts. Yeah! Then we can make "The History of President Putin" with Jet Li! ut only if they have Jar Jar Binks. Sweet! :/
(ID #16994) Posted on 2007/12/25 06:28
^^ You know, seeing an ass-kicking Putin ain't that much of a bad idea, IMO (^o^)/

"The History of President Putin" with Jet Li! That would be my favorite movie ever XD
(ID #17068) Posted on 2007/12/25 13:04
Kristin Kreuk is quite the cutie. I remember seeing her for the first time, and saying "wow". However, she's short, and doesn't have the muscle tone for the Chun li character. As many of you mentioned, those thights have to look like they could crush you in between them. I wouldn't mind being in between Kristin's thighs, but I doubt she could crush me with them. Agreed?

I Agree with you on the fact that Kristin doesn't look like someone who can beat a person to a pulp, then again I had the same thoughts about Charlize Theron prior to Aeon Flux
(ID #17087) Posted on 2007/12/25 15:36
Why they didn't learn from fail DOA? I realy disappointed with Ayane Character and the story too. And now chun li omg..

(ID #17034) Posted on 2007/12/25 10:41
I don't really care about action movies derived from games. Guess they all failed until now. If Kristin Kreuk aims to become Chun-Li have to learn how to fight properly (Dunno if she does already or not). To incarnate one of the most famous videogame characters is surely a difficult exercise that many didn't give their best for.
(ID #17051) Posted on 2007/12/25 11:53
Jackie Chan is the "hottest" Chun-Li around.

lol thank you for the video. I thought I'd never get to see that scene ever again. ROFL
(ID #17090) Posted on 2007/12/25 15:43
Well like the titles says "Legend of Chun-Li" focus on the word legend. From the actress, and what I am guess this is gonna be, it's will be most likey a movie about Chun-Li's daughter...pray to the guy above that the writer knows what he is doing.
(ID #17077) Posted on 2007/12/25 14:19
I agree that the girl is a real beauty, but the movie will be a fail for sure. Not very good movies for games they made, and I still remenber the real-action Street Fighter movie... Such nigtmares...
(ID #17079) Posted on 2007/12/25 14:39
Hmm, Chun Li does have quite a few different designs. This one is more on the big-eyes-big-muscles type. I feel sorry they have to choose that version of Chun Li and put it next to Kristin Kreuk. They could have gone for a slimmer design of Chun Li and less exagerated muscles. That way, the comments here may be a bit different. Then again, there's the face thing...
(ID #17101) Posted on 2007/12/25 17:07
I agree, I also think people are making comments based on photo comparison alone. I'm not sure how well, or not the movie will do, but I'm rather interested in finding out, it's all about having an open mind. I like the idea of using someone so unfit to play a character only to prove people wrong in the end. Look at "Charlie's Angels", for example. 3 women who you'd never think could pull off an action film, let alone, do well. Give the girl a chance, she may do quite well.
(ID #17116) Posted on 2007/12/25 18:17
yeah i also think it's gonna fail.... she doesn't look like Chun-Li at ALL (she looks harmless)
(ID #17107) Posted on 2007/12/25 17:26
First I hear about the new Dragonball live action Hollywood movie, and now this. I'm afraid these people are going to destroy my childhood.
(ID #17111) Posted on 2007/12/25 17:40
i heard that all the leads are non-Asian. what a lame casting...tck,tck :<
(ID #17616) Posted on 2007/12/28 10:00
Kristin Kreuk + Steroids = Chun Li
(ID #17125) Posted on 2007/12/25 21:26
i think maggie Q will be better
(ID #17372) Posted on 2007/12/27 05:09
Does this mean there will be "Legend of Ryu" or "Legend of Dhalism" in the future?
(ID #191114) Posted on 2008/05/19 10:28
LOL that would be silly if there was one for Dhalism.
(ID #251031) Posted on 2008/07/30 02:04
I really don't care for this. She's definitely NOT Chun Li. There's plenty of REAL Chinese actresses that can play her, like Kelly Hu. She'd definitely fit the role. Having a white girl play the part of a pure asian girl is like turning a white comic book character into a black one... Oh wait... http://geekasm.co.uk/content/binary/Nick%20Fury.jpg I'm really only looking foward to the new Street Fighter anime than this crap. But maybe this new movie will prove me wrong.
(ID #290721) Posted on 2008/09/04 20:54
No Offense but i think movies which is adapted from games are a waste of time and money they usually turn out horrible
