OK so I really missed the boat on this one. Seems there is a Street Fighter Movie coming out with Kristin Kreuk as Chun Li (token Asian chick who isn't very Asian), Michael Clarke Duncan as Balrog (token black guy to play the token black guy role of original SF cast) and Chris Klein (token All American pretty boy to appeal to the teen girls who get dragged to this movie by their boyfriends).
Video game movies tend to be bad, and why you ask? Because the plot stinks in the first place! I'm sure the script writers for this one worked very very hard to make the SF cast believable and likable, but everyone knows that you don't play Street Figher for the story, you play to humiliate some other guy 2 rounds straight perfect. Gamers don't say, 'Man I had a tear in my eye when the Guile re-units with his family when I beat SF'.
I'm hoping for some token sex scenes, some token SF cheese lines related to the game and maybe a few cool action sequences. Then again I didn't think Hitman was that bad. Read more here at Kotaku.
