The less said about the 1994 game-to-film adaptation of Street Fighter the better, and fans can be forgiven for wanting a decent remake of the most successful fighting game franchise of all time. Well, director Andrzej Bartkowiak (Cradle 2 The Grave, Doom, Romeo Must Die) is having another pop next year with Street Fighter: The Legend Of Chun-Li and thankfully there are no muscles from Brussels anywhere to be seen. There aren't too many big name actors in it (why no Jet Li?) and there's also a distinct lack of big name characters, with no Ken, Ryu or Guile. It does feature Michael Clarke Duncan as Balrog and Neal McDonough as M.Bison, who thankfully doesn't seem to be wearing any red leather fetish gear. Check out the trailer above and decide for yourself, it's also available in HD if you click the link at the bottom right of the video. There's nothing here to suggest it's going to be a 'big hit' per se, but some of the choreography looks pretty cool. There's no release date confirmed for the UK yet but it's out in the States on the 27th of February next year. - Paul Lester [IMDB] Street Fighter movie gaming
