The STREET FIGHTER trailer premiered to almost universal disdain last week (currently racking up a 3.8/10 user rating in JoBlo Video). But what will the reaction be to the new poster for the film? Spoiler warning: it sucks too. The film is subtitled THE LEGEND OF CHUN-LI but Chun-Li is barely even featured on the poster. It would seem that Vega is getting more one-sheet time than Chun-Li. Anyway, click the little tease below to head to Coming Soon to see the poster in full.

Extra Tidbit: I guess we have a new "Street Fighter" video game to look forward to...

There's no way this won't absolutely suck but it can't be any worse than the version from '94.

You LOSE!
I just caught this yesterday in the theater while going to see Ben Button.



It's got Direct-to-DVD written all over it, LOL that was my first reaction upon seeing this thing. It actually gives the impression that this should be Made-for-TV. There's just all kinds of bad here - bad tagline, bad title logo, bad composition.....lame on every aesthetic level I can think of.

I don't even care how the movie actually is, whether it sucks or what, but seriously there are kindegarteners who can do better than this crap.



Whoever designed this poster = FAIL

3) to shelman2392: rosenbaum left smallville? i stopped watching that show many years ago... w/o lex, who's the bad guy now?

Talk about beating a dead horse over and over again!
I think Kristen Kruek is a babe, but she needs some serious acting lessons. If she weren't so exotic looking, she never would have gotten the Lana Lang role on "Smallville." Speaking of beating a dead horse, is it any wonder John Schenider, Annette O'toole, Michael Rosenbaum, Kruek & the exec producers left that show? I love the whole idea of "Superman" as a young man, but man it really...

Speaking of beating a dead horse, is it any wonder John Schenider, Annette O'toole, Michael Rosenbaum, Kruek & the exec producers left that show? I love the whole idea of "Superman" as a young man, but man it really sucks now although I admit I still watch it. This looks like another "DOA" to me, yeah if you don't know what film that was it starred Jamie Presley and was laughable. I wonder if the people that did this film watched the god-awful Jean-Claude Van Damme version? What's worse is that this has an Oscar nominated (Michael Clarke-Duncan) actor as well as the terribly under-appreciated & not very well known Neal McDonough from his fantastic work in "Band of Brothers." This trailer was a little over a minute & it has already ruined any good memories from the fun-at-the-time game. This is going to blow chunks. What a shame to, because w/a little character development & having a better no-name talented actress play the title character, this could be good. Too bad that ship has sailed. Besides "Street Fighter" was a in thing over a dozen years ago. I love the cast, but the best actors in the world will not be able to save this sinking ship of a script. Again did they not learn from the 1st "Street Fighter" film...? I guess not.

Put it out of it's misery
Besides an awful looking logo that is light years away from the original, what's the point in posting news about this movie? Again, it's the same director who made Doom. Says it all, doesn't it?

No Dhalsim - No deal
I want stretchy limbs god damn it.



There are so many problems with this film. Firstly, the guy from The Black Eyed Peas playing Vega. Isn't Vega supposed to be incredibly handsome, but his face gets scared? The guy from the Black Eyed Peas is as ugly as sin.



Michael Clarke Duncan as Balrog. Nice to see him stretching his acting chops to play huge black guy who can...

Why did the scrap the Capcom-style logo at the top? That was the best thing about this movie!

The child in me who was addicted to street fighter is definitely going to rent this.



I actually enjoyed the van damme version (granted I was like 10 at the time)

I'll stick with the Van Damme version. At least they embraced the fact that their movie was cheese.

HOLY F'N HAEMORRHOIDS,
I've never been this fuckin' angry since The Beatles were no more. And I was born in the 80's. Thank you very much Holly-fuckin-Wood.



Seriously, the casting was the best thing I heard about this project. They all looked the part (in my head at least). I think we would all have a better chance at betting on Hannah Montana's movie being #1 than this piece of crap not actually sucking.

about the tid bit
Street Fighter IV comes out this year, but it has been in development for a long time now and looks realllllly good. for the movie however, it looks better than Dragonball movie so far...but it will most likely suck
