History Film / StreetFighterTheLegendOfChunLi

* NotWearingTights/MovieSuperheroesWearBlack: Nobody wears their colorful outfits from the game. The closest is when Chun-Li [[MythologyGag briefly dons a blue dress as part of a disguise]].

* PlotHole: If Bison has lived on his own in Thailand since he was a young boy, why he still speak with a (terrible) Irish accent?

* MoodWhiplash: Many reviewers noted that the movie bills itself as an [[DarkerAndEdgier edgy]] and more "realistic" take on Street FIghter'', despite stuff like Chun-Li using KiAttacks and Bison transferring part of his soul into his unborn daughter.

* MoodWhiplash: Many reviewers noted that the movie's attempts to present itself as a DarkerAndEdgier and more "realistic" take on the franchise were rendered moot by having Bison magically transfer the good part of his soul into his daughter, and giving Gen and Chun-Li the ability to use KiAttacks.

* MoodWhiplash: Many reviewers noted that the movie's attempts to present itself as a DarkerAndEdgier and more "realistic" take on the franchise were rendered moot by giving Gen and Chun-Li the ability to use KiAttacks.

* PlotHole: If Bison has lived on his own in Thailand since he was a young boy, why he still speak with an {{Oirish}} accent?

* MonumentalView: The movie starts looking out the window of Chun-Li's first house at a beautiful view of the Golden gate Bridge that would place the house somewhere in the Presidio, which has no homes in it.

'''''Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun-Li''''' -- the second live-action film based on Capcom's long-running StreetFighter video game series, but not a direct sequel to [[{{Film/Street Fighter}} the first]] -- tells the story of Chun-Li Xiang (Kristin Kreuk), a ten-year-old piano/Wushu prodigy who has her young world shattered after the crimelord [[BigBad Bison]] (with the help of his [[ScaryBlackMan Scary Black]] [[TheDragon Dragon]], Balrog) kidnaps her father and whisks him off to parts unknown. After the death of her mother seventeen years later, Chun-Li -- now a concert pianist -- receives a mysterious scroll that tells her to go to UsefulNotes/{{Bangkok}}. Once there, she meets Gen, [[TheAtoner a former partner of Bison]] and leader of the mysterious Order Of The Web; Gen offers to train Chun-Li in preparation for her inevitable showdown with Bison.

The film also has a subplot about Interpol agent Charlie Nash and Bangkok detective Maya Sunee, but they don't really matter until the end (and even then, they only serve as backup for Chun-Li). Continuing the truth that VideoGameMoviesSuck, the film was panned remorselessly and was a commercial failure, even more of an embarrassment than [[Film/StreetFighter the original Street Fighter movie]]. At least that one [[SoBadItsGood didn't take itself too seriously]]. This film does the exact opposite and suffers greatly for it.

* Spexico: Casting a Mexican actor to play the Spanish Vega fits into this trope.

** Bison is closer to [[FatalFury Geese Howard]] than the actual M. Bison.

->''"They spend the entire movie building up to Chun-Li's ability to throw fireballs. Protip: don't spend an entire Street Fighter movie preparing the characters for being ''Street Fighters.''"''\\
