Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun Li Trailer and Official Poster Jan 5, 200911:02 PST

There’s nothing like a great video game to sire a bad movie, and nothing like a bad movie to make you wonder what motivates some actors to put their careers on the line for it. The trailer for Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun Li hit the internets in Japanese just a few days ago, and the poster was released today. While the movie poster could be mistaken for a fan-made photoshop, the trailer shows us a few interesting insights: M. Bison dropped the S&M suit and has a facial hair. Michael Clarke Duncan plays Balrog, who is shown with a bazooka instead of boxing gloves (Antonio Tarver was too busy after Rocky Balboa?); and Chris Klein (Oz from American Pie) plays Nash.

I’m not saying The Legend of Chun Li will be bad, but I’ll trust my pre-judging stereotypes even if they cause me to miss a masterpiece.
