This film is gonna blow donkey. MCD looks like he’s in the Whole Nine Yards, and isn’t the Asian guy Chris Farley’s adopted brother from Beverly Hills Ninja? Plus Kristen Kruek can’t act to save her life. She’s terrible on Smallville, and everyone knows that Allison Mack is the hot chick on the show!

This movie is going to suck, but I might see it since the super hotness of Kristin Kreuk is in it.

You’d have thought they’d have picked a cuter chick.

If this has the fight between Chun-Li and Vega as she’s getting out of the shower from the anime, I’m sold.

Nothing I’ve seen looks like Street Fighter. I think that’s a good thing.

The next time you’ll see this film will be in the Wal-Mart 2 for $5 bin. Sorry, Kristen.

When did Street Fighter get guns?

gocitizen Says:

I don’t care about this film, but I really wish you guys would keep set photos on a jump page. I see it as spoiler material and I just don’t want to see it until after I see a film.

I can’t be alone in this thought. Thanks.

@ Gocitizen

Want another spoiler? It’s going to suck.

God forbid we ruin Street Fighter for you. Seriously, what did you get from those photographs other then it takes place in Asia, Kristen Kreuk is hot, and M.C. Duncan is angry. It spoils nothing.

since when is Balrog a bald fatty???

gocitizen Says:

July 30th, 2008 at 11:01 pm

gah - it’s just a preemptive strike before there are photos posted of something I DO care about. Obviously, Street Fighter isn’t the target of my spoiler wrath.

As example, and perhaps another poor one, all the photos that were posted of the Transformer2 production has given me way more information than I would like to know before going into a film.
That’s just me. I’m old school in this regard.

I love all of the info that Peter and crew provide about upcoming productions, but when it comes to internet material about actual productions, I’d rather not know much of anything.

Did a commenter really compare Dragon Ball Z to Street Fighter??

Did I accidentally type in http://www.MYSPACE.com?? Where the hell am I right now?

Oh and in all seriousness, this movie will have the depth of Death Race. Comeon people. Have we as movie goers really been itching for a follow up to the TREASURE that is Street Fighter: The Movie??

gocitizen,
I hope for the sake of your argument that you do not watch any trailers of any kind.

marz Says:

didn’t Balrog have hair..with like three parts cut in?they need to get mike tyson for the role (just kidin of course,but that WOULD be funny)the only reason i mentioned ol iron mike is because the boxer in street fighter 2 was actual called mike bison in japan.but when it came here they changed it to m. bison and gave the name to the character who has it now and mike bison got the name balrog,who i believe was vega’s name(the guy with the claw).

gocitizen Says:

different deal altogether. Trailers don’t bust the illusion.

As someone that works in film, It’s not like I don’t know how things happen. It’s just that sometimes I’d rather not know, or at least fool myself into that frame of mind.

Note the difference between a trailer like Quantum of Solace compared to the mini movie that is the trailer for Death Race. One works to sell a story, the other tells the whole story already. Why would you want to know the full story beforehand? You guys probably read the scripts before going into the theater as well. I find that a shallow experience.

I’m not trying to take away anyone’s crack. I’m just suggesting it’s moved to the jump page. No big deal.

I just feel a little strange that someone is keeping saying some celebrities and rich men joined the famous affairs site wealthyloves.c om.. Did you notice that?

fat dave Says:

July 31st, 2008 at 1:27 am

this is extremely shallow - but i’m still gonna watch this movie.
kristen is just irresistable.

Jmoney Says:

July 31st, 2008 at 3:53 am

who’s the asian guy supposed to be? i thought Ryu wasn’t in it

OhNoItsGojira Says:

July 31st, 2008 at 7:00 am

Wow, once again pictures are released that re-validate how awful this movie is going to be. You really can make an overtly generic film and slap an IP on it.

Ben Says:

July 31st, 2008 at 9:54 am

I can’t begin to explain how terrible this looks. Talk about straying from the source material…

movie nerd Says:

July 31st, 2008 at 11:24 am

Japan- Boxer guy- M. Bison
claw guy with mask- balrog
military general phyco crusher, boss of SF2- Vega
Akuma- gouki
America- boxer balrog. claw-vega, general M bison(major bison). gouki- akuma :P

and to the guy who says that gen is cris farleys brother in beverly hills ninja, true but we all remember him from a little movie called Mortal Kombat. and gen had a long beard and hair (white)

The boxer had hair yes and kinda sux, and yes he was supposed to be a parody of iron mike

“Since when are guns in Streetfighter” in the ex series, there was a characor(a chick) forget name but she would have a super where she shoots gun and ultimate of a M4 shot

I think people are overlooking the fact that the first Street Fighter movie sucked so bad to begin with because it combined liberally straying from the source material with a total lack of respect for this game franchise’s movie potential. Unfortunately, it looks like the same thing is being done with the new one as well.

When the powers-that-be wise up and realize that video game story lines (no matter how seemingly shallow–provided they have SOME redeeming cool aspects to them) do actually have potential to make good movies if they’d just show a little more respect when making them, we might actually get a good game-to-movie translation for once.

As it is, they’re just shooting themselves in the foot with this kind of stuff, because all it’s going to do when it bombs at the box office is reinforce the artificially concocted prejudice that video game premises can’t make good movies.
