Product Description
STREET FIGHTER-LEGEND OF CHUN-LI (BLU-RAY/DC/R/UR/
Amazon.com
The origin story of the characters from Capcom’s popular Street Fighter video game is detailed in The Legend of Chun-Li, a live-action martial arts thriller from Doom helmer Andrzej Bartkowiak. Smallville’s Kristin Kreuk gives a spirited turn in the title role, a concert pianist turned global crime fighter who cracks her share of heads while in pursuit of the mobsters who have kidnapped her father. Neal McDonough and Michael Clarke Duncan glower effectively as Bison, the nefarious mastermind behind the abduction, and his henchman, Balrog, respectively. The film’s offbeat cast, which includes Chris Klein and Moon Bloodgood as detectives, Black Eyed Peas singer Taboo as the claw-wielding Vega, and Hong Kong stars Pei-pei Cheng, Josie Ho and Edmund Chen in supporting roles, is the most inspired element of the film, which relies too often on well-worn action and kung fu movie clichés to fill out moments between fight sequences; the film’s target audience--fans of the game--may find this less engaging than younger, less discerning moviegoers with a yen for any flavor of punch-up. --Paul Gaita

 Kristin Kreuk + Moon Bloodgood !!! March 1, 2010
B Nice (Brooklyn , New York)
Streetfighter the Legend of Chun-Li was a decent effort. The people who say that it is bad should go and watch the Streetfighter with Jean Claude Van Damme!!!
The Blu-ray quality is excellent. I don't know how any straight man can say that this was a bad movie. HELLO!!! Kristin Kreuk + Moon Bloodgood !!! They are some nice eye candy!!
The fights scenes were alright. The first fight when Chun-Li's dad fights Bison's men was very cool. Also, the street fight in the alley when Chun-Li beat up the thugs.
BOTTOM LINE is that Kristin Kreuk worked extremely hard to train for this film !!! She did a ton of martial arts and gymnastics.
For the people who complain about Chris Klein ... guess what I'm going to tell you?
Don't pay attention to him and just look at Moon Bloodgood like I do!!!
I would recommend this film to Kristin Kreuk fans.
Pretty terrible writing December 3, 2009
Kevin Tipa (Southern NH USA)
I can't speak to the additional disks, but I did see the blu ray unrated edition of the movie. The most important thing I can convey to you is that the writing for this movie is terrible. Absolutely terrible. Some movies pull off bad writing with a "cheese" factor where you can watch with friends and laugh at the goofy nature of the lines. But this movie seems to be trying really hard to be serious. So I guess the director of the movie thought they could manage to make the awful script work that way. I feel bad for the actors. They tried. And in some cases you can see how professional they were being, but the writing defeated them.
To further clarify my assertion of bad writing, the story introduces all sorts of potentially interesting tidbits that could be stories of their own, and then rushes through them. Predictably though, these tidbits end up being used later in the story without any real reason to use them. For example, Chun Li goes through intense training (meditation) in order to be able to gather chi/ki energy into a visible cloud that she can then throw at an opponent. They make a big deal about how she has to let go of her anger to accomplish it. And then in the big climactic fight, she's beating the tar out of the bad guy (Bison). Then comes a point where's staggered, and Chun Li's trainer yells out "you know what you have to do!" Of course she hits Bison with the chi/ki blast and he goes tumbling off a building. But this big special attack she spent so much time working on doesn't finish the job. Instead, she jumps off the building to use some other "Street Fighter" attack to snap Bison's neck. So that powerful chi blast thta you spent half the movie setting up was really pretty crappy?
Don't get me started on the lines. The worst lines come from the police officers that they focus on in parts of the movie. I'll leave it at that, and let you decide for yourself when you watch it.
Which implies I think you might want to watch it. I did give the movie 3 stars. There's some fun stuff to watch in there, and the special effects are decent. Also, Kristin Kreuk is beautiful... so I had to bump up the rating some for that.
A video game made into a movie September 23, 2009

Video game made into a movie. This is a fun movie with lots of action. Yeah, some of the action is too much special effects, but hey, it is a video game. I like Kristin Kreuk in the lead role. Nice to see her do something beyond Smallville. She does a good job of being the action lead.
STREET FIGHER 2009 REVIEW September 17, 2009
Jamie L. Petroski (Kansas, currently in Kuwait)
I must say that compared to the 1st one, this wasn't as good. I give it 4 stars because on Blu-Ray everything just looks better. I would give it a 5 star rating but like most people in their reviews are correct. Chris Kline seems to be the worst part of this movie. I seen plenty of his movies and well they were good, but the acting he displayed in Street Fighter was just terrible. If you take his lines out of the whole movie it would've been just great.
