Couldn't they have got someone who like..
Wasn't meek and scrawny? I mean when I think of a real life Chun-Li I think of a pretty buff, tall, purely asian chick.
I also thought that Kristin (sp) was like a fourth or an 8th asian, I would have been happier with someone who looked more authentic.
Then again if Cammy's in the movie and she works out well then that's all I care about!
If you're gonna give fanservice, put Chun-Li in a swimsuit, but PLEASE don't show her naked!Quote:

It would probably be funnier if, when the shower scene arrives, they play it up all suspensefully only to find out that it's Guile or something. An homage to the old film and a poke at the fans at the same time.Quote:

I think Joel might cry if she doesn't have a nude scene.
By now I think I already know the answer...but I'll ask again.Quote:

Have you ever seen a shower scene in a tv show? They hardly show anything--usually just a pair of legs and a bare back with some steam.
I'm drawing way too much attention to this, as it didn't even last that long in the first movie. It's a different kind of 'fanservice' it would bring to the live movie. Less of the 'omg boobz' type, more of the 'hey they just drew reference to the other movie' type. I'm not trying to say the movie needs nudity, because I don't want that either. Just trying to make sense of why you're adamantly against the shower issue.
I'm all for seeing Kristin Laura Kreuk as naked as they can possibly convince her to be.
They should play "Kickin' It Like Chun-Li" somewhere in the movie.
There was a thread today at another forum of 'what is the best video game movie'
I said Silent Hill
It looks like even with Chun Li as the title character my opinion will not change.
It might've worked if they casted somebody who was actually Chinese. It also doesn't help that I don't like looking at KK
I didn't say there was a need for it, I'm just predicting that there is going to be one. They had a shower scene with Lara along with partial nudity (from the side) and I passed on RE 2 and 3 but in the first RE, we more or less got the full monty from the fifth element chick (for some reason I forgot her name). Even Aki Ross donned a barely there bikini to advertise Spirits Within, and Tifa, while not being in any way naked, definitely seemed to have a larger rack in Advent Children than in the game, which is saying quite a bit.Quote:

As for the Lana Lang.... eeeeeech. poor casting choice. Ming Na Wen made a better Chun Li. Can we just call a do over and fire the casting guy that made that call?
Let's get off the sexy stuff, okay? Back to the action.
Man, I'm just kickin' it like Chun-Li.Quote:

Yeah it would most likely be CG if at all, since she looks barely able to pick up a hamburger. Also she's as Asian as I look.Quote:

I think shes popular enough to be in a movie all by herself.
Shes not one of the first, she is THE first female fighter EVER.
Also, I think Kristin Kreuk is a good choice for a western street fighter movie.
I dont know about you,but when you look at Chun-li in the games,at least the recent ones, she doesn't look TOO Chinese.
Maybe that might be because of the anime design type thing, but I think a half asian, or at least partly asian woman is a good thing.
But what are you gonna do, even if you are asian but not the right nationality, people will still hate you.
Hold on now, she's not the first female fighter. There were more than a few games before then that had female characters fighting. Samus used a gun. :)
