I never saw Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun-Li in theaters. I was busy doing other junkets or picking my nose so we had Thomas Leupp (now with Hollywood.com) cover it for us. Did he like it? No. No he didn't.
Tonight I rented it on Blu-Ray to see if it was as bad as everyone said it was. And you know what? It's pretty bad. None of it makes any sense, the fights are lame, and why are they shooting guns in a Street Fighter movie? I like how they mentioned Ryu at the end, hinting at a sequel. Ya, like that's gonna happen.
But what stood out the most in this movie wasn't Kristen Kreuk's chicken legs, or Robin Sue's horrible almost grown in mustache. It was Chris Klein.
You might remember Chris Klein as the wussy guy from the American Pie films. He went on to do other movies nobody saw like Rollerball, American Dreamz and The Good Life. He disappeared from our water cooler conversations after the Pie movies and we forgot all about him.
Until Street Fighter that is. Chris returned to the big screen as Charlie Nash, the no nonsense tough guy badass gang unit cop on a mission to take down Bison and his Shadaloo organization. And I gotta admit, his performance is pure fucking comedy gold.
If you follow me on Twitter, you would have seen me posting pics as I watched the film and talked about the many faces of Chris Klein. Faces that God did not want man to have, yet Chris Klein somehow managed to pull off. Chris looked like a cheap Van Damme Hard Target knock off, and spoke with a facial scowl like he hadn't taken a shit in 47 days.
Ladies and gentlemen, I give you - The Many Faces of Street Fighter's Chris Klein:
