After all the years of Street Fighter references dropped hither and yon by a good friend, I would have felt churlish walking past the Street Fighter/Street Fighter - Legend of Chun Li DVD combo pack in the bargain bin. So it came home with me.

Regarding: Street Fighter

This is quite possibly the first time in my life I’ve ever had to cleanse a DVD player with bleach, and I say this as the owner of a couple of Uwe Boll films. That, and given how close Raul Julia was to death at the time of the filming, sticking him with the horribly, horribly scripted role of Gen. Bison can be considered the desecration of a nearly corpse. JCVD has been sliding deeper into the shitter with each passing year, but I never imagined he could ever sink this low. Fuck.

I’m trying to remember whether or not my friend recommended this stinker to me. May he burn in Mormon hell if he did.

What? Oh, sorry. I’ve got this thing for violent, stretchy females.

She’s not River Tam/Cameron Phillips material, but still… I wouldn’t kick her out of bed for giving me some wushu massage. Would also place her slighly ahead of Violet Song jat Shariff. This may change if I watch the gun kata scene with the “Bloods” in Ultraviolet again as Jojovich was the right combination of violent and stretchy there, too.

Legend of Chun Li also had nice photography, mediocre fight choreography, and a fair to middling soundtrack. Oh, and it starred Kristen Kreuk. Did I mention that?
