Not 1 Chun Li but 10 - AKB48 get dressed in Chun Li gear to promote the new Chun Li movie.
See more pics at Sankei.

Has anybody been to see the movie yet? Japanese trailer below.

And this is what AKB48 usually get up to.

Chun Li ending below (spoiler) ^^;

    No watch for me. Doesn't look or feel like Street Fighter at all. Needs more light, color and of course fun. A Street Fighter movie that takes itself seriously just isn't getting it.

    Very nice pictures! I'm more of an h!p fan but I'll still listen to some AKB48 now and then...
    but i still won't see that movie on account of I never really was into streetfighter. But if Li Chun (junjun) of morning musume was playing Chun Li then I would see that movie for sure. That would be a very kickass movie.

      Actually they used to have 48 members. There's a time where they have more than 48 members too~ divided into 3 teams A, K and B. Each with 16 members but now A and B team has only 15. Usually only one team will sing each time where the rest will be busy acting for their theatre perfomance or doing drama.

    I plan to see it, Kristen Kruek is a talented actor and has done a great job on the Smallville tv series as the love interest of Clark Kent AKA Superman. I've followed some of her writings on her myspace blog about the movie and at one point the movie wasn't going to be made but here it is.

    The Vandamme version was just plain bad just as the Super Mario movie was and Batman with Val Kilmer, any time you translate a comic book or video game into a movie it'll fail if you bring over the cute factor or to much of the comic book look.

    I have to disagree with what others are saying that Kristen doesn't look Asian enough or only looks have Asian, the Chun Li's from the various street fighter games never looked very Asian at all except for the mix of Asian and 80's American aerobic jazzercise inspired clothing. For all intents and purposes her character is Asian only in name and nothing else really and if you want to really get into the details and argue about it then I can remind you of the French/Vietnamese women and the American/Vietnamese women that don't look like a true Asian but are Asian none the less.

    Movie's lame. Couldn't they have gotten Zhang Ziyi instead of Kruek instead?

    I'm not going to watch that movie. I think it sucks. And the comments aren't too positif.
