The english language, as good as it is, just doesn’t have enough words to describe just how terrible the Street Fighter movie was. It was the movie that made me first realize that perhaps… just perhaps… Jean Claude van Damme wasn’t a great actor after all. But seriously folks, that movie just stunk to high heaven. I’ve never met a single person who liked it… and that’s a rare thing… usually you know at least ONE person who liked even the worst of movies.
Anyway, for some reason Fox has decided to go ahead and do another Street Fighter movie. That’s right… another one. I don’t think it’s a sequel (like I was hoping for a trilogy or something), but more of a “let’s pretend the other one doesn’t exist” for of film. While that is a good move, it’s still a horrible idea.
Componding the mistake, it looks like Fox has hired on director Andrzej Bartkowiak to helm the project. This is the same man responsible for giving us trash like DOOM and Cradle 2 The Grave… so why not give him Street Fighter since he did such a great job with that other video game movie. Ughh.
Justin Marks – penner of the upcoming “He-Man” and “Voltron” movies – did a polish on the script recently. The story apparently fixes on female fighter Chun Li and her journey for justice – as opposed to the first film which focuses on male fighter Col.Guile and his er, journey for justice.
I mean come on now…. is ANYONE going to go see this? Do any of you have even the slightest amount of interest in this project at all? Even a little? I’m as big of a fan of combat tournament movies as anyone… but if I could turn enthusiasm into energy, I couldn’t muster enough to fart for this one. (source: moviehole)
