Chun Li Movie Poster With Much Overdue Thighs

The other Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun Li have all been missing one thing very important — no, two things. That’s right, thighs. There are blue eyes, this collection of faces and hot Vega claw action. Not thighs! The latest poster (for Japan) does its best to fill the void. FINALLY.

SFIV’s Opening Cinematic, for Japanese Versions

.html Here’s your three-minute opening cinematic for Street Fighter IV (Japan release). The heavily stylized rendering spills huge amounts of blood – or ink, depending on your point of view.

A Giant Ken Action Figure, For The Street Fighter Fan Who Has Everything

This Ken figure is big. Real big. Like, quarter-scale big, which translates to a figure that stands 18″ tall. Due in June, there are only 300 being made, which may explain the $250 price tag.

Presenting A New, Different Street Fighter Movie Poster

The Street Fighter movie poster we’ve seen so far? Bit rubbish. This is the “international” version. Does the addition of some hot Vega claw = improvement? Other changes: gone is the confusing montage-on-white motif of the US poster, replaced by one that looks more like the poster to a movie about martial arts. Also helps…
