While I have little doubt that the upcoming STREET FIGHTER: THE LEGEND OF CHUN LI movie will be a massive turd at least the posters are improving. Today we have a new one for you, which is better than the previous one. Although that's nothing to be proud of. The only thing the advertising department on the STREET FIGHTER movie have taught me so far is not to watch the STREET FIGHTER movie. And I'm pretty sure that isn't their job spec.

Source: IMPA

Extra Tidbit: My prediction for this movie is that every single person involved is terrible save for Neil McDonough.

Kill this thing
After the disaster from 1994, you'd think there would be improvement, that they learn from mistakes. But of course not.

It's gotten to the point where it's just a bad joke.

No Sagat? Really? Way to leave out the best villain in the series.

Ahh fuck it, who am I kidding? It's not like I'd see this anyway.

From the look of the poster, it appears this is going to be a harrowing tale about these characters' attempts to set up and operate a Japanese-themed 5 Star hotel.

Agreed.
I don't think Neil McDonough can be bad in anything.

Well, that explains it
Of course, I should've known. No official studio poster would be this competent. I actually quite liked that first Japanese poster with the portrait shot of Kreuk as Chun-Li in what looked like her dress uniform from the games(at least from the neck up).

Nice work Weapon X. Won't have any impact on the quality of the movie but.......nice job nonetheless.

...and Michael Clarke Duncan
But other than that I don't care to know any of those people, really.

McDonough is a lot better than his material usually suggests.

Yeah, okay...
I think the gag's gone on long enough. Yes, the poster is fake. I know this because I designed it. Someone must have downloaded it off on my DeviantArt profile and submitted it to IMPA, and it just took off from there.

I had no idea it would spread so far so fast; that's probably because it's for a REAL movie instead of a made-up one, which is what I usually do. But I'm glad peop...

Better Poster
Does not make a good movie, but MUCH better poster I say. Of course anything would've been better than that grade school drek they previously rolled out, but this is actually quite a decent design with better taglines that actually focus on the star character of the film - Chun Li.

And look, there's Liu Kang! :D

Ummmm, I'm pretty sure someone on 4chan's /tv/ made this to illustrate how crappy all the other promo materials for the film are.

Yawn
this is great example of how to waste a perfectly goodf web page. You may as well have included a Mortal Kombat Annihilation poster with it, or a Snoop Dogg's Hood of Horror trailer, or maybe an update to the remake of Gigli for Crissake!! I mean WTF!
