Chun Li Based Street Fighter Movie Coming in 2008
October 30, 2006
by Alex Billington
Oh man, another Street Fighter movie! Is this good or bad, who knows?! Hyde Park Entertainment and Capcom together will produce the movie, which is being planned for a 2008 release in coordination with the 20th anniversay of the video game franchise. It's been stated by Variety that the movie's story will focus on the character Chun Li, however specific details are being kept secret. Wow, sounds fine I suppose. As long as it isn't anything like the upcoming Dead or Alive movie, and I mean, as far from that as it can possibly be, then I'm down for it! We'll have to see how the production goes, and who they cast to play Chun Li.

In my opinion, this movie, regardless of the story or everything else, will all depend on who plays chunners. If she is hot, asian, and makes the hair buns look good…then I'll buy it.

based on chun li????? c'mon it should be ryu man, he is the main character!!! i hope it doesnt come out to look anything like the jean claude van damme street fighter! cause that one sucked…the animations are great though!!!

What the hell are they doing!! they cant base it on chun li. Ryu or Ken. And besides they shudnt even be making a real one. They should be making an animated one. They can out do any real life movie. I can see this turning into a very very weired Mortal Kombat Film -_-"

Please support this movie as much as possible people! I believe this movie could resurrect the SF series as a game and movies, even anime! Regardless of how bad or good it is, support it! We need the SF series back in the gaming world! PLEASE!!!

OMG!! YES!! Chun-Li is my fav character!! I will definately go to see it in the cinema!! People who want it to be about Ryu are wrong IMO, Ryu is EVERYWHERE and it sux pretty much. Plus, we already had a male leader (Jean Claude as Guile), its time to have a hot girl!!
I also hope it wont be as Dead or Alive becaude that movie sucked pretty much!
Yeeah!! on Jan 9, 2007

the first sf movie was crap. lets hope they can do better with this one, using chun-li is sweet as she was my fave in the games and was under used in the last movie.
oh and the d.o.a movie was not that bad but could of been much better

Hello: Street Fighter fans yes!!! I agree Street Fighter my favorite martial arts franchise(video game) is back at the big screen since, it debuted in 1994. I disagree with alot of negative comments about Steven De Souza's version, it was pretty good I give it three stars and Mortal Kombat 41/2.
Jean-Claude Van Damme played an excellent Col. William Guile and Raul Julia(RIP) played and excellent Gen. M. Bison. If everyone doen't know Bison's first name it is Michael. He is called Mike Bison for short. I read an article at Ign.com last week about, them making a new Ghostbusters video game with the cast members Bill Murray, Dan Aykroyd, Harold Ramis, and Ernie Hudson in the game. They are also, planning a third Ghostbusters film with them fighting against Satan himself interesting think Ghostrider this February 16, and February 18, 2005 Constantine which was, one of Keanu Reeve's finest films Tilda Swinton played a great Gabriel Archangel and Peter Stormare was wonderful as Lucifer/Satan Constantines enemy. let's see sequels with Constantine meeting Almighty God and Michael archangel will be another protector of John. Anyway, I wnat to see Feilong in the Street Fighter he was in The Arcade Street Fighter Movie game I don't doubt a new Street Fighter Movie video game coming out for the next generation systems. Get ready everyone for Spider-man 3(2007), FF2, Transformers, TMNT, Batman:The Dark Knight (2008) and Superman:The Man of Steel(2009). Superman Returns was awesome I want to play the video game on the XBOX 360 I played Batman Begins it was cool and also, saw the movie Christian Bale the next Michael Keaton and Brandon Routh the next Christopher Reeve World's Finest Batman/Superman. P.S. I loved Raul Julia's glowing boots and electricity power in Street Fighter in the next film he will be way more powerful Psycho Power They should pick-up with Bison coming out from his Television screen rubbage, then pick-up with Chun-Li Zang in Beijing China talking to Ryu, Ken, and Feilong.

ok heres how the movie goes, you start with ryu and ken training, and you make ryu a mystic character. how this should be played is the way the original story line was created, having ryu as the front man, because basically hes connected to everyone and everything. i agree with kevin over there about adding fei long because he was a very underrated character and he needs to be known. This movie should be well done, because the last one wasnt done very good at all. like i say, the writers should stick with the original story line because if they dont, i gurantee many people will be upset about the outcome with the movie. The whole chun li thing is complete garbage and no one cares about that storyline. end of discussion..

The Old School Street Fighter fan may be on to something. Chun-Li Zang is not the main character. Ryu Hoshi and Ken Masters are. Chun-Li is one of the leading womaen in Street Fighter one of my favorites by the way. Next to her is, Cammy White and Sakura. She is grown now, and should be at her current age in Street Fighter 4. Feilong Sawada needs to be put in the next SF film, bacause he is one of the leading New Challenger fighters. He is a hero in Hong kong, China(Bruce Lee game legend) and Chun-Li likes him. Ryu's cousin has a crush on Fei too. She was in The USA SF cartton series. Please, make this Sret Fighter Oxcar material we need good Video game movies. This year we have Dead Or Alive(Holly Valance or Jaime Pressly should play Cammy White) and Devon Aoki should play Ibuki or Sakura. Kane Kasugi(Ryu Hayabusa) should play Feilong Sawada or you can cast Jason Scott Lee, or Robin Shou as Fei(Mortal Kombat 1 and 2 Liu Kang;Dead or Alive: Pirate Leader.

n i agree wit SOULEDGE there shouldnt b a real SF movie
it might b worse than the first one
they should stick 2 animation b/c it looks better on in animation
BLak Jam on Feb 20, 2007

Ok, Well. I'm not soo sure about the Chun Li storyline part because for starters they basically kept the exact same ending sequence for her in EVERY SF video game so i don't think they can even come up with enough subject matter to make it interesting. Also Ryu is the main character people. Just get over it he's been the main character in every game and rightfully so, and if not Ryu as the main character then maybe Akuma or Ken. But those three, more Ryu and Ken than Akuma, have a wider story line than any of the other characters. I dunno about a Real Action version either though cause you know they'll just plaster it with computer animation like they do with all live action movies these days. But animated movies just don't seem to get as mainstream of an audience anymore. I'm just really hoping they put Dan, The Man, Hibiki! Hahah or at least some of the alpha series characters this time.

A Film like D.O.A or Girls Action is always appreciable, and its a hit at Box Office.

Before they make this movie, I suggest that producers, directors, and cast play all the Street Fighter games; to have a clear understanding of what Street Fighter and the character that they play symbolizes in Street Fighter culture. As a Street Fighter fan, I hope they don't make another "Hollywood" verison of Street Fighter EVER again! The biggest problem with making video games into movies, is that directors and producers don't have a clue about the video game culture. In return, they slap us in the face with actors and actresses that suck, plots that aren't related to the movie, and must I say the "camera special effects" (Remember the "fireball" Ryu - played by Byron Mann) threw at Vega? Ryu's feud wasn't with Vega, but with Sagat (wrong plot feud and terrible special effects). I'm all for the Chun-Li version of Street Fighter (because Chun-Li is my favorite character to play) but they have to make sure they get the right actress for the part. For example, Lucy Liu, Kelly Hu, Zhang Ziyi, Shu Qui, Maggie Q, or Michelle Yeoh will make a perfect Chun Li. Why? Because not only do they have a martial arts background, but they have experience in playing in roles that require them to fight, without using stunt doubles to do all the work. I hope Capcom learned a critical lesson from 1994; its not only Hollywood that's viewing this…its us, the fans who fell in love with the Hadoken Ryu, the Shrouyken Ken, the Spinning Bird Kick Chun Li, and the Psycho Crusher of M. Bison twenty years ago. So please, do it for the fans…get the right people for the part, make sure they understand why we spend hundreds of dollars on Street Fighter, and most of all…give us the fans something to talk about for years and years down the road. Lastly, here's my roster of Street Fighter characters and the actors/actresses who should play their part:
1. Chun Li - Lucy Liu, Kelly Hu, Zhang Ziyi, Shu Qui, Maggie Q, or Michelle Yeoh
2. Ryu - Takeshi Kaneshiro
3. Ken - Gerard Butler (300)
4. Sagat - Batista (WWE)
5. Fei- Long - Stephen Chow, Tony Jaa, or Robin Shou
6. Balrog - Bobby Lashley (WWE)
7. Cammy White - Stacey Keibler (long-legged woman from Dancing with the Stars and former WWE Diva)
8. Sakura - Ryoko Hirosue (Wasabi) or Chiaki Kuriyama (Kill Bill: Volume 1 - Gobo Yubori)
9. Vega - Edge (WWE)
10. Guile - Dolph Lundren or John Cena (WWE)
11. Zangief - Nathan Jones or Bill Goldberg
12. Dhalsim - Sanday Dutt (TNA)
Other are pending, I'm doing my research for other good candidates

STREET FIGHTER,TEKKEN AND VIRTUA FIGHTER.
STREET FIGHTER (2008).
There was a Street Fighter movie with Jean Claude Van Damme back in 1994 was the worst movie ever made with a crap plot.
So now the franchise is coming back to the big screen focus on Chun Li more news to come on the Street Fighter movie.
TEKKEN (TBA).
We need to change things on the Tekken movie,it's still in production but the director Dwight H Little has to go and Alan B McElroy must leave the writing credits and the script needs to be rewritten
again to follow the storyline from Tekken 2.Crystal Sky need to change things on Tekken,
There will be another director and the new script for the film soon.
VIRTUA FIGHTER (TBC).
Sega's Virtua Fighter going to the big screen to be loosely from Virtua Fighter 5 game.
The plot will centers around an evil Corp known as J6 and a team of fighters must fight on the same side to stop the Shadowly villian Dural.
Any American film company like Zide/Perry Productions to make the Virtua Fighter movie and Simon West to direct and co-write and Alan B Elroy will write the script.
Thank You.

Who ever thinks that Kelly Hu, Maggie Qui, Ziyi Zhang, and Michelle Yeoh are perfect for as Chun Li then let me shed some wisdom in that crazy mind of yours, we need someone who looks close to chun li's first face in SFII and let me tell you, Gillian Chung is the most closest one, trust me on this one, just look her name up her movies and pictures and you'll really understand why if you don't want to take my word for it since everyone has their own opinion, oh you'll be glade I wrote this down before you make those movie people make a huge mistake. No need for thanks, I'm just doing my job.

Chun-Li? As much as I love Street Fighter, I don't think this will work. It seems like it might turn out more like a Street Fighter spin-off. I could be wrong though. I never was a big Chun-Li fan. Dee Jay, Vega, and Yun were my favorites.
Dim Sekky on May 10, 2007

Chun Li is probably the baddest female character ever to grace a video game. With those power legs of hers that will break a man in half. I find it unbelievable that they are going through mainstream Hollywood actors to play an Chinese-born Interpol agent such as Chun Li. So far they have considered Keira Knightly (Pirates of the Caribbean), Jessica Alba (Honey, Fantastic Four), and Jessica Biel (Stealth) but as hot as each of those actresses are it's doubt full they can pull off Chun Li. Plus none of them are Chinese.
Kelly Hu, Maggie Cheung, Ziyi Zhang, Michelle Yeoh, Lucy Liu, Gillian Chung, Shu Qui could all work.
Cameron Pilo on May 11, 2007

That's the problem! Hollywood doesn't have a clue about the video game genre…so what do they do? Put mainstream Hollywood actress who wouldn't know martial arts if it was a Gucci bag or the papparazi! (With the exception of Jessica Biel who was good in Blade: Trinity). We need Chinese actresses who know martial arts and fit the Chun-Li profile. I hope that Capcom really takes the time to search for suitable actors and actresses for this movie.
Daisy Terry on May 11, 2007

I'll watch it, but whoever plays Chun li better start working out her thighs. I won't be pleased if Chunnie has skinny little actress legs.
And of course…there better be a couple VERY good fight scenes. Hopefully one that pits Chun li against Cammy for a seriously grueling match up.

@Kevin L. Clay, Jr. quoted "Jean-Claude Van Damme played an excellent Col. William Guile and Raul Julia(RIP) played and excellent Gen. M. Bison. If everyone doen't know Bison's first name it is Michael. He is called Mike Bison for short." Actually Kevin you're right on the Name… Let me Educate you. The "ORIGINAL" Street Fighter Game was made in Japan of course. The name M. Bison was actually Balrog's (Mike Tyson look A-like) name in the Japanese. The American version had to swtich the name around and M. Bison is Suppose to be the name Vega in the Japanese Version.
Let me Put it in a Different way if you are Confused.
Japanese Version American Version
Vega became M. Bison
Balrog became Vega
M. Bison (Mike Tyson) became Balrog

First of all there is no main characters in Street fighter.
All of the characters have stories.
No one really cares much for a story coming out of street fighter.
STREET FIGHTER is a game about street fighting.
12 street fighters in one tournament.
I will support a Street fighter movie when it revolves around the Tournament and all the characters
Chun-li being the main character will be like the movie ELEKTRA.
HENRY on Jun 1, 2007

Hmm…. Im thinking they make a movie off Street Fighter 3: Thirdstrike, cause If Chun-Li is going to be the star/main character, Then the only street fighter series that would suit her perfect is Street Fighter 3: third strike. But this street fighter movie Ryu and ken better not be pansys…. and have a good role in the movie too cause in any street Fighter series.. Ryu, Ken and Chun-Li are the 3 main star characters. They been in every series and not one of them has ever been out of a series…
Well the movie ofcourse needs a main villian that has to be strong. But in SF series there has only been
2 main villians, M. Bison/Vega from SF2,Alpha and EX series; Gill from SF:3 series. Soo.. i wonder who the main villian could be?…
Well.. hope this Movie goes good. since there keeping it secret, wont know what to expect till it comes out. I mean SF 2 back then looked like a sorta low budget movie and choice of mainn character was kinda bad. fighting wasnt great either. but then again the movie was made back along time ago. now a days better tech and stuff. lets just hope they dont low budget the movie… and have crap fighting.

C'mon men, Chun-li and Ryu are the main characters, respectively in the woman and men characters, besides if you think Street Fighter the first image its CHUN-LI!!, its awesome, that movie!!, i hope seen in the movies, Yeah My Chun-li !!!
Reyes (Princess Peach 4ever) on Jun 22, 2007

I have to Disagree Reyes… It's based on Ryu and Ken..Ryu is the Main Character, Chun-Li is a sidestory. Love her and all.. but when you think of Street Fighter.. Ryu Tops everyone else.

Ok, ok, ok. Just base the movies off Udon's comic book series. http://www.streetfightercomics.com . They do it the best in my opinion. This movie should have a lot of Sakura in it, and a little bit of Dan… No???

I hope the cool fireball moves will be in the movie
bob on Jul 19, 2007

Chunli is a bad choice for main character since her character never had the depth that Ryu has. Ryu has the dark struggle going on inside him that adds depth to his character. The Anti-Thesis between Ryu and Akuma was always interesting, albeit a bit star wars like. Anyhow, my gut instinct tells me that this movie will blow big time, and will only make some money because of the hot asian chicks kicking ass.
Mel on Jul 30, 2007
35
True, Street Fighter is really about Ryu who develops his skills by fighting various fighters from around the world. Ken was just the side piece as Ryu's best friend who's arrogant and who has a hidden desire to defeat Ryu. Capcom should've made Street Fighter about Ryu however, America loves eye-candy; so having a cute Asian actress play a legendary character just for show and not based on a true fighter is what we can expect. I love Chun Li and I hope…hope…hope that Capcom/Hollywood does its part in making a excellent movie. (DONT WE REMEMBER STREET FIGHTER BACK IN 1994?) My point exactly.
Daisy Terry on Jul 31, 2007

Thank You, Candyman 808 Tony Todd horror character very scary and creative. Everything, that you just told is correct and I already know that from research and being a huge SF fan from childhood. M. Bison's first name is Michael because, I read it at a Street Fighter website that is his birth name. but, thanks for the comment anyway, I'm not dumb to the truth I just want you to know that Bison's first name is Michael he is about 50 years of age born in 1956 or 1957. He has a son named Max E. Bison 5"10 I haven't seen his son at all in the Street Fighter games. i hope he will appear in Street Fighter 4.
Thanks, Candyman 808 nice to have a friend like you!!!
Kevin buddy!!!

Intersting.but who will be Chun-Li´s enemy in th movie?.Could be M.Bison or Gill.?,because i´ve heard than she defeated both in their repective episodes en SF saga,my preference is Gill,because he has mor power than Bison and this came out already in Van Damme´s movie.
yamibarai on Aug 25, 2007
41
yamibarai M. Bison hasn't even reached his full power yet, we haven't seen bison develop and use his Psycho Power energy yet, Raul Julia showed the beginning stepping stone to M. bison becoming, extremely powerful. Gill will appear in the sequels later on he's a bad boy because, he a Roman God brother of a mexican god Urien. But, Capcom is not finished showing Bison.
Kevin on Aug 25, 2007

I the SF2 animated movie was the greatest animated fighting movie of all time. The minor plot and lots of street fights, the fact that every single one of the street fighters appeared and battled using their propper skills was amazing. I will never forget the battle between Ryu and Feilong. I was hoping for a new animated version. If the movie is remaining live action, I would go for Sf2 theme again. Sf3 is a great game, great parry system and freeze time special moves make it awesome… but… twelve? Q? Two half naked brothers? I mean those characters suck big time.
Rodrigo on Aug 26, 2007

I am a little worried about this film I mean it is based on the main female character which don't get me wrong Honey Chun's kicks ass. But from the start to whole game was based on Ryu and his travels to become a true warrior. I am a huge fan and have seen all the movies and have read all the comics and have played all the games lol I am a huge SF nerd. I would just like to see a film thats is based on the main character thats all I want.
I was wondering if there was a petition page to get them not to make a movie about Chun-li and to focus on Ryu.
Please if anyone knows give me an e-mail cause I really want to see a goof live action SF movie cause it deserves it.

Cheer up, Giles The film will cover Chun-Li's life, but Ryu and Ken will be the heroes to fight and defeat M. Bison who I think will still be involved, but this time faster, stronger and more powerful.
Kevin on Sep 6, 2007
47
Agreed
if bison is tough 2 beat
hey any1 seen da part in streetfighter alpha the movie
after shun gets captured wen ryu walkn down the street n bumps into te guy whos talkn
hes really peein
disgustn rite?

M. Bison is tough to beat, if you don't have the necessary tools to defeat him. There are three warrior's that I know that have these tools Ryu, Ken and Akuma. M. Bison was not in the alpha movie, Akuma was, Sadler was an agent for Bison's Shadowlaw criminal Empire.
Bison was in the live-action film played by late actor Raul Julia and The Street Fighter II: Animated Movie alot more intimidating in that film. In this new, one Bison should be fully powered with Psycho Power seeking revenge against The World Warrior's. Chun-Li will be involved with fighting against Bison. will see next year how the story will unfold.
Kevin on Sep 6, 2007

Hmm.. If Chun-Li is the main Character of the new Street fighter movie then that "mite" mean that the movie will be based off of Street Fighter 3. Cause Chun-Li is actually the main Character in the Street Fighter 3 Series, Ryu and Ken are in there too but. But they werent actually supposed to be in SF3, they only put them in SF3 series cause of the fan base for them. But if they are makeing Chun li the main character it cant be of SF2 anymore.. that would be Ridiculous…
Kashell on Sep 24, 2007
50
i agree with everyone who said ryu to be the main chracter…his struggle against the darkness growing inside him should make a great story of him trying overcome the evil force and plus if akuma was involved the movie would be better plus ken trying to help ryu…
if you watch any of the animated street fight films…its is 99999 times better than the real movie with van damme ¬_¬…what the heck?!?!?! they should of put in chuck norris aswell… even eddie murphy and angelina jolie…
hex on Oct 23, 2007
51
i really like guile!!man his outlook and his fighting style are the reason i play street fighter!!i hope they will put an important role for him(hopefully can see him performing sonic hurricane and somersault justice) in this film, although ryu is the one should be the main character!!!^_^!!!and hopefully they don mess up the original fashion and story of each character!!
horng on Dec 2, 2007

Hello everyone,
First of all, I like chun-li but it is true that she is not the primary character. She has always been portrayed as a weak warrior if you match her up with Ryu for example, she is no match. She can kick ass for small time thugs but not like Sagat (if you know what i mean). Anyway if this movie will be made they should consider reading piles of the character's background. She should also be an asian who is about 5'8" tall and she has to be pretty, nice future(boobs) and big legs. She should also be good in martial arts. I don't like a caucasian portraying her role. Hello!!!! She is chinese. Anyway, going back if there would be a movie I hope it will be nice because there are a lot of people who will be expecting it including myself. I hope it will be in the list of well-known movies like X-Men and spiderman or FF4

It all depends on the thighs, they need to get someone who can do justice to chun li's thighs of fury!

Oh gawd. Kristen Kreuk for Chun Li?! Is she even Chinese? From what I've seen of her filmography, she has had no martial arts experience (real-life or movie-fu). She doesn't have the look of a fighter…AND lately she looks scary anorexic. I think Kristen is pretty and all, but I really have no idea what the direction the director is trying to steer this movie in with her as the lead. Kristen as a action hero? She mostly plays cute and endearing roles. There's no way with this director and this script writer that they can pull off a good rendition of SF…but they're welcome to prove me wrong.
Right now, all I have to say is that I have no serious expectations out of this movie other than a couple of good fight scenes that involve the 'spinning-bird-kick.' Actually, maybe I shouldn't expect anything like that…the fight scenes for MK I & II just flashed before my eyes (what were they thinking in the adaptations of the special moves?).
You know what? I'll just pray to the Capcom gods for a miracle. Surely they have watched past video game movies and will learn from others' numerous mistakes. Actually, that sounds futile. I'll go for the instant gratification behind door Number One and grab myself a hot dog. See you guys at the theatre.
No Soushii for You on Jan 3, 2008

Soushi, My Asian brother, Kristen Kreuk, doesn't look asian, but I think Andrez Barkiokwiak, can pull it off, having her look Asian in the movie. I am pretty sure, that Chun-Li will not be the only character in the movie fighting M. Bison a villain that I'm pretty sure Chun-Li will meet along the way and fight, but stronger fighters Ken and Ryu are the only hope to stopping M. Bison.
a character that I want to see but, disn't in Steven De. Souza's 1994 film Street Fighter was Feilong Sawada he appeared in the Arcade video game background, but when the film was out Feilong was cut from the film and replaced by Kenya Sawada playing Captain Sawada. I thought, that was very wrong, because Feilong was created in remembrance of my favorite martial arts legend Bruce Lee.
I am happy to see Feilong and the other New Challengers Cammy, T. Hawk and DeeJay being redone ans respected as World Warrior Street Fighters. Udon and Capcom make us proud, make Street Fighter:The Legend of ChunLi a real comic book video game adaptation. We all want to to see our Street Fighter heroes and villains perform their spectacular vidoe game signature moves. THhe 1994 film was pretty good with it, but De. Souza made the film too real, he should have made it real with cgi creativity like Mortal Kombat as an example. I was happy to see some with Byron Mann's fireball attack only a brief flash and Raul Julia shoot out electricity through his hands very cool to see. In the next, film I want to see the real thing from each fighter. Soushi my friend, check out!!! Street Fighter 4 at youtube and Ign if you get a chance that game is awesome the trailer and video shots of Ryu and Ken fighting were cool. SF is back ya'llllllllllllllllllll!!!

oh c'mon with the "ryu/ken"! it's been done a trillion times already, in the games, in the animated movies, etc… time for other characters to step up and show their story! how many ryu/ken stories can you tell over and over and over and over and over and over again!?

xrey, I agree with you people wanting to see Ryu and Ken in Street Fighter gets boring and uninteresting they should have had Felilong in the 1994, film his name was broadcasted as one of the World Warrior's in the film, then they replace him with Kenya Sawada playing Captain Sawada Sawada is also, Feilong's last name.
Feilong deserves respect he is Bruce Lee in Street Fighter and did appear in the Arcade Street Fighter movie game, but that was still wrong to cut him, hopefully Hyde Park, Capcom and Andrez Barkowiak will do Feilong justice since, he is in the Udon comics and in artwork as well.
To Feilong a friend of Ryu, Ken, Chun-Li and many others and Bruce Lee will live foever through, Fei and the other characters that portray him.
Thanks,
xrey Street Fighter fan for life

it sould be a evil ryu movie when he fights sagat and akuma. chunli isn;t strong enough to have her own movie. I bet i can predict what going to happen at the end and who are the main characters. It would be great to make a move where guy(character) is the leader of a mob,his right hand mans are birdie dj and cody and they are trying to takeover japan, japan would have to depend on ryu ken sakura and fei long to stop the terror

to thefacts,
you don't need a physically strong character. what any move should have is a strong storyline/plot. zang zi yi has had successful movies in which she was the female lead/main character. not physically strong, but awesome martial arts, great storylines, beautiful, yet deadly! what more can you ask for? chun li's storyline has a lot of potential… as i've said before, too much ryu/ken movies already.

what about a movie based on sakura lol chung li movie doesnt sound so bad but ryu and ken cant go past it it almost like when they made the cat woman movie it was like why??? to be honest it was nothing like the game or animated movies but i didnt mind the jean claude van damn adaptation as a movie not really as a street fighter movie but yeah i can wait for street fighter 4

If you cannot Get claude van dam to play guile why not get Rob Van Dam he looks similar to claude and im sure he could pull off alot of his own stunts!

I dont think the movie well be good, as I hoped.
Well it WOULD have made sense if Chun-Li was the main character, if they where makeing a movie of street fighter 3 series…
Cause she is the main Character in Street Fighter 3 series, Ryu & Ken are just in SF3 because of the fan base.
Plus if they made it off SF 3 and chun li as rightful main char, We could have ectleast seen a new SF main villian Gill..
And I dont see how they can make a Chun-Li storyline since most of the time she was with Ryu&Ken and even before her father died she was with them…
