New Street Fighter clips are coming out to promote the new DVD, reminding us that even though this was a brain-dead production, it was still more entertaining than Transformers. I would put money on Klein's awful nostril flares over any ancient tribal Transformer. I will definitely buy this movie, or maybe watch it on TNT when there's nothing else on. Street Fighter you are a testament to the Best Worst movies that came before you (TimeCop, Deep Impact, Reign of Fire).

Can you imagine if Bay had decided to make Street Fighter instead of phoning in Transformers 2? The exploding punches alone make me yearn for the Bay version, and Bay clearly needs to be reminded of his roots. His bad late night boom-boom epics, that used to taste good with popcorn and booze, have gone South. His next bad movie should go back to basics, like Street Fighter. Witness the greatness:

Ms. Kreuk, who is by all accounts a gorgeous young thing, has been repeatedly washed out and photo shopped to her detriment throughout most of the Street Fighter marketing. How do you make such a gorgeous girl look so plain?

Forget that she doesn't have the yup-yup power thighs we all have come to treasure, she's a looker. Yet this movie insists on making her look like hell. Calling this poster "nice" is the best I can do.

And now this poster, it's sad to say but I do not have high expectations for Balrog, Bison and Vega. The Jean-Claude Van Damme film from the 90s is much more exciting, despite the fact that people LOVE Chun-Li.

Also where is Blanka? I know this is Chun-Li's origins story, but let's appeal to the marketplace here: I want to see monsters and thighs.

Street Fighter: The Legend Of Chun-Li will be out February 27, 2009.
