Workin' the pole to her advantage, Chun Li yup yups some deadly power kicks straight into the faces of her assailants, in the new live-action Street Fighter movie. Kotaku got their hands on a few new action stills from Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun-Li, showing our main lady kicking some ass with her infamous meaty gams.

The film is an origin story for Chun-Li, with roles for the whole Street Fighter gang — hopefully including green monster man Blanka! The video-game adaptation will hit theaters February 27, 2009.

Check out the rest of the images over at video game site Kotaku. But while your here enjoy the Chun-Li Yup Yup love rap, with lyrics by Turbo.
