Movie #7 Street Fighter

I'm sure that most of you have heard of the video game Street Fighter. Well the movie Street Fighter tells the story of the legend of Chun Li. A young woman who kicks ass in Bangkok Thailand in hopes to find her missing father who was taken away from her and her mother at a young age. He is taken away by Bison and his henchman, Bison is a powerful business man who holds Chun Li's father as a prisoner, forced to do work for him. His reward is that he is allowed to see pictures of his growing daughter.

Chun Li begins her journey to Bangkok after receiving a mysterious Chinese scroll. She begins her mission to find a man named Gen and save the people of Bangkok. Gen is a man who will help train her and knows where to find Bison and her captive father. After a tragic attack from Bi sons men Chun Li and Gen become separated, there house is bombed and Gen is no where to be found.

Chun Li heads to the harbor where a shipment is about to come in on a ship called the "White Rose." This is tied with Bison and her father. Chun Li fights her way into the docks, is unsuccessful and captured by Bison's men. In the end Gen shows up to help Chun Li, as well as Nash and Maya who are Bangkok Police who have been following Bison and his men the whole time because they were being investigated for murder. Chun Li kills Bison and is re-united with her father.

According to the Internet Movie Database, Street Fighter recieved a 92% in popularity this week. A lot of the comments were about Chun Li and her kicking butt techniques. I thought that the martial arts in the movie did not look that real, I mean seriously a woman can not kick butt and beat people up like she did.

The negative comments where toward Nash, who played a detective in the Bangkok Police Department. He was played by Chris Klein, so I agree that action movies are obviously not his thing. I think he does better in comedy and Romance such as American Pie.
