The original Street Fighter with Jean-Claude Van Damme was all kinds of suck. That hasn't stopped Capcom from green-lighting another SF flick. While the previous venture featured tons of characters from the game, the new flick revolves around one character: Chun-Li. Yup, no Guile, no Ken and no Ryu. Here's the plot in a duck press: Chun-Li's father works for Bison, who then kidnaps her dad when she's a little girl. She grows up, trains and goes after Bison. Balrog and Vega show up. It takes place in Hong Kong. There are minions. The end. Sounds like every other revenge film ever!

The script is by Justin Marks, who has penned the Voltron flick. Not sure if that's a good thing or a bad thing. The folks over at movie site Latino Review seem to think the Street Fighter screenplay is alright — well, compared to other game adaptations. According to Latino Review:

Now if they choose to go with this script they could have the potential of breaking the mold of the videogame movie and actually have a franchise. Whoever plays Chun-Li will have a monster role in her hands. The script could have had a few more recognizable good or bad guys but, once again thinking back to the original Street Fighter movie, maybe it's not a good idea.

But Capcom should realize that by focusing only on Chun-Li, they are alienating people who are familiar with the game. Folks will sit there, waiting and wondering when their favorite character is going to make an appearance. Then again, Capcom's game plan might be to give each SF character his or her own movie. In that case, I cannot wait for the E. Honda life-story. That's a gold mine right there.
