"Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun-Li" is a 2009 action film based on the popular video game franchise, Street Fighter. The movie follows Chun-Li, a skilled martial artist who seeks revenge against the evil Bison, the leader of an organized crime syndicate known as Shadaloo. Along the way, she teams up with other fighters and allies to take down Bison and his minions.
The film features several classic Street Fighter characters, including Chun-Li, Bison, and Gen, and introduces new characters like Nash and Maya. It also incorporates elements from the Street Fighter universe, such as the use of special moves like the "Kikoken" and the "Hundred Hand Slap." However, the movie deviates from the game's storyline in several ways, including giving Chun-Li a different backstory and focusing on her as the main protagonist.
Despite featuring a talented cast, including Kristin Kreuk as Chun-Li, Michael Clarke Duncan as Balrog, and Chris Klein as Nash, the film was not well-received by critics or audiences. Many criticized the film's weak script, lackluster action scenes, and overall lack of fidelity to the source material. However, it still has a following among die-hard Street Fighter fans and those who enjoy cheesy action movies.
