    I actually really want to see this. I was a huge fan of the game back when it was big. Of course, I haven't played it in almost seven or eight years. Can't wait to hear more news on this!!!!!

    Ok I have a question for you guy's.... knowing that the movie is taking a more serious approach and all, do you think the street fighter characters should have powers? and why or why not.....

    Oh it will;)
    the fist one was vary bad, you see all street fighters have their own story of how they became "street fighter". the fist sf movie was all smashed together for the sake to bring all the street fighter 2 characters in together,and it wasn't serious at all "they" were making a movie to have fun with the characters,but the Fans weren't laughing>:\. the new one is bass on one character,so they can explain why she's there in the first place and it's more serious and faithful to the story.and then they can tell other stories to bring in more characters in other movies.

    Christin Bail doesn't look anything like Bruce Wayne in the comics also Christopher Reeves as well,but they did a really good job playing their role. and if you look at Shinkiro's version of Chun-Li you will see she looks like her,He's like the Japanese Alex Ross or Adam Hughes. I would compare his art work more then the other ones because his is way more realistic looking.

    first of all Smallville has been on for 7 years going on 8, they have to be doing something right. Ya, Meggie Q would be a great chun li,BUT! it's an origin story so they would need someone just a little bit younger;) .Meggie Q is half Vietnameses I know you don't care and I also don't care ether, as long as she can play the part,but some Chinese wouldn't like that one at all .some people are complaining that Kristin is not full Chinese.Imagine what they would do if she played a Chinese character and not being Chinese at all. Kristin Kreuk is still the best actress for this film.

    Name 1 person who looks like Chun Li that can act...and a full Asian person doesn't count,No offence to any full asians out there,She doesn't look full asian.
    The reason way they picked her was because no one has seen her too much. Tobey Maguier, Christopher Reeve and Daniel Radcliffe are some of the actors who were no body before their"big" roll.and now when you see Tobey you think of Spider-man,when you see Christopher you think of Superman and when you see Daniel you think of Harry Potter, it's the same thing with Kristin. You may be thinking, what about Iron-man. Iron-man was a great movie but they took a big chance in casting a "big" celebrity like that. he was gone for a while so it's kinda like having a new actor. Asking Kristen Kreuk to play Chun li is like asking Hugh Jackman to play wolverine,there is no one else.

    ok, for a start....... why the hell would i be taught chinese culture in school?
    and anybody who says "ouch" to their own comment, lol, is very up their own ass!
    the point i made is that E.T up their looks nothing like the Chun-Li from the computer game or comics. and who is this chick?..... all she has ever done is Smallville and a couple of sh*t T.V movies! they could have found a better actress who looks more like the character with ease!

    how f*cking sad you. you have to resort to my mom you don't even know,seen or heard.... Great comeback:/. at least i know what you were doing in school when the teacher was talking about Asian Culture.You were thinking about c*cks and moms. I'm sure along the line you thought about your mom and your c*ck.;.ouch. And the reason why "they" chose her was because Chun-Li don't look full Asian.and why do you care, you can't even tell them apart anyway.Kristin Kreuk is the best actress for Chun-Li bar none.

    Seriously!! who can play Chun Li that looks like Chun Li .I'm not saying some chines girl who can do marshal arts ,I'm saying some one who looks actually like chun li.Chun li looks 50% asian and Kristin is 50% asian.Ok this is an origin story so they need someone young,so Lucy Liu and Michelle Yeoh are out of the pitcher.Ziyi Zhang is good with marshal arts and vary hot so you'd think she'd win. but no one want to hear broken english. you may say it gives it a more realistic "speaking" of an "asian girl". but I say no one wants to hear broken english....... and Kristin Kreuk wins by a knock out. shes the closest looking asian actress that looks like Chun Li, she's not old, and she's speaks perfect english. because no one wants to hear broken english, especially in an origin story.Did you know that Kristin is in to gymnastics, which gives her the right to be Chun Li. Kristin Kruke is Chun Li weather you like it or not.
