I will have to admit to a complete lack of Street Fighter knowledge beyond the original SNES game before I complete my review. My first throught throughout the movie was “Who’s idea was it to cast Lana Lang from Smallville as Chun-Li?”
I did see the original Street Fighter movie along time ago but I seem to be vastly more impressed with “The Legend of Chun-Li” then I remember being impressed by the first movie. As far as martial arts action movies it seemed to have been well done though I think it definitely had alittle length to it that seemed drawn out at some points.
Now, my second thought throughout the movie was “Who taught Gen the Kamekameha?”
I have to admit that I just watched this movie directly after viewing Dragonball: Evolution and there is a very similiar artistic imagery between the unnamed ability used by Gen and taught to Chun-Li and the Kamekameha used by Master Roshi and taught to Goku in Dragonball: Evolution. Though this connection in no one lessened my enjoyment of the movie and I admit that it will likely be rare that a person watches this on the tail of Dragonball: Evolution (see not-likely).
