"Street Fighter The Legend of Chun Li" is just an excuse to have lots of fights. The plot is disjointed and senseless, either it is heavily cut or very poorly written. One minute she is trying to escape from bad guys, the next shot shows her in a different place miraculously talking to her aides. Things are so poorly explained that the degree of disjointness can rival "The Avengers" starring Uma Thurman. I also cannot get past the fact that much of the story happens in Thailand, when Chun Li is actually Chinese. Can't they set the story in China? The only redeeming feature is the cool Kung Fu moves and the well choreographed fights. Other than that, "Street Fighter The Legend of Chun Li" is a very forgettable film.
Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaBack in 2003, Jean-Claude Van Damme was working on a sequel to the original Street Fighter movie titled "Street Fighter II", for Universal. Several cast members had been hired to join him in the sequel, including his Universal Soldier co-star Dolph Lundgren in an unrevealed role, Australian actress Holly Valance would have replaced Kylie Minogue as Cammy White, and Damian Chapa would have re-praised his role as Ken Masters. Byron Mann was also reportedly in talks to return as Ryu Hoshi. However, after a few years of trying to get the sequel off the ground, the project never materialized and any plans for a sequel were scrapped in favor of this movie. In the sequel, it would have been revealed that Blanka and Dhalsim survived and the chemicals that made Dhalsim bald also gave him his stretching powers.
- GoofsIf Bison was raised in Bangkok from infancy, he wouldn't have the Irish accent that seems to come and go.
