Time was not very kind to this movie. Actually, this movie was not very kind to this movie. Join Brian, Scott, Brian and Randy as they have their way with this video game adaptation from hell on the latest Film Sack.
Film Sack roasts Street Fighter.
Posted in: News
As a huge fan of Street Fighter II, I really hated this movie. Their complete reworking of most of the characters and personalities simply made it a title grab. Of course I thought nothing could be worse until I saw Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun Li.
Speaking of Chun Li. You guys did not mention much about Ming-Na Wen aside from her gigs as Mulan and on ER, so here is some extra trivia;
Scott joked about “The More You Know” theme, but Ming-Na was actually in one of the “The More You Know” public service announcements back in the late 80s.
She got her start on Mr. Rogers’ Neighborhood.
Got her big Hollywood break in The Joy Luck Club (still her best film).
Has done additional voice over work including <Batman, Spawn and Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within.
And is currently rocking Stargate: Universe
Though I do agree she was physically not a great choice for the Chun-Li role, she was much better than Kiristen Kruek. Sadly, the best Chun-Li film adaptation to date has to be THIS!
Also…I could not find any direct Star Trek connection. But someone mentioned Rosalind Chao (Keiko O’Brien from ST:TNG and ST:DS9) and she was also in The Joy Luck Club with Ming Na…so that is a degree of Kevin Bacon-like separation for ya.
