Bad news, sports fans. Ken and Ryu, metaphors for the fighting game genre, will not be in the upcoming Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun Li movie. (This is the first I’ve heard about the movie, by the way—people still put faith in game-to-movie adaptations?) The movie’s producer says he wants to focus on developing the Chun-Li storyline as thoroughly as possible, which necessarily leaves out Ken and Ryu.
Chun-Li is played by Kristin Kreuk. Yes, her.
Other movie gossip, including its serious-or-not tone and how authentic the costumes will be, are all on the movie’s official blog.
If the producers were to take the last Street Fighter movie, and do the exact opposite of everything that happened, it wouldn’t be 100 percent terrible. High praise.

You mean to tell me you didnt think it was funny when Zangief said ” Quick change the channel “. Haha the movie had its moments and it was one of my favorite actors last film. Rest In Peace Raul Julia.

come to think of it, last time the producer said he wanted to focus on developing the Guile storyline as thoroughly as possible. So… whatever.
how about focus on Ken and get chuck norris on board?

Street Fighter the Original Game was basically ALL ABOUT KEN AND RYU. Hell, they were the only characters you could play with. Street Fighter 2 came out, WHO WAS AT THE BEGINNING OF THE GAME? Thats right, the guy with the over sized arms and a Red hand band. This will be more like a TV movie of Buffy the Vampire.
