STREETFIGHTER:THE LEGEND OF CHUN-LI-2009-This is another entry into the Streetfighter video game franchise. It features Kristen Kreuk (TV’s SMALLVILLE) as Chun-Li, a dancer turned martial artist trying to save her father who is held prisoner by the evil Bison (Neal McDonough). She gets some training from Gen (Robin Shou who was in both MORTAL KOMBAT movies) and does a lot of amazing but phony looking jumps, kicks, etc. Michael Clarke Duncan is Balrog, Bison’s evil smiling henchman. She has a fight with Vega a masked assassin with Wolverine like claws who I think was portrayed by Taboo of the group Black Eyed Peas! Meanwhile two cops (Chris Klein and Moon Bloodgood) are hot on Bison’s trail too.
This really has nothing to do with the game except for some of the names. Otherwise, it’s just another derivative CGI enhanced martial arts mess. Former cinematographer Andrzej Bartkowiak directed other dubious action films like EXIT WOUNDS, FROM THE CRADLE 2 THE GRAVE, ROMEO MUST DIE and DOOM.
