'''''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 (KristinKreuk), 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.

** Chun-Li: half-white, skinny legs, wears her famous hair buns and blue qipao for only a short time

** When Gen talks about Ryu, he mispronounces his name as "Rai-yu".
** A little less common is Bison's "Shadow''lau''", right after the caption reading "Shadow''loo'' Headquarters".

* RaceLift: Somehow, Chun-Li grows from an obviously Asian child, to a Canadian pretending to be Chinese. All in the span of the intro.

* TheWorfEffect: Fen's repeated curb-stompings at Bison's hands

** Chun-Li: half-white; wears her famous hair buns for only a short time
** Gen: a guy in his mid-thirties (at least they got the Asian part right)
** [[spoiler: Rose:]] Early twenties, no AnimeHair, very naive, [[spoiler: is no longer Bison's GoodCounterpart.]]

* LesYay: Not even subtextual.

* LittleBoyBlueNote: Chun-Li started as a pianist when she was young.

''Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun-Li'' is the second live action movie attempt based on Capcom's long-running StreetFighter video game series (the [[{{Film/Street Fighter}} 1994 version being the first]]), and released by {{FOX}}. It tells the story of Chun-Li Xiang (KristinKreuk) - a young piano/Wushu prodigy who has her young world shatter at age 10, when the crimelord [[BigBad Bison]] (and his [[ScaryBlackMan Scary Black]] [[TheDragon Dragon]], Balrog) kidnap her father and whisk him off to parts unknown. Seventeen years later, after the death of her mother, concert pianist Chun-Li receives a mysterious scroll telling her to go to Bangkok. 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 for her inevitable showdown with Bison.

There's also a subplot about Interpol agent Charlie Nash and Bangkok detective Maya Sunee, but they don't really matter until the end (and then mostly as backup for Chun-Li).

!!This film contains examples of:

** M. Bison as a blonde bearded guy in a suit.
** Chun Li is half-white and wears her famous hair buns for only a short time.
** Gen is a guy in his mid 30s.

* CorruptCorporateExecutive: Bison is turned into one of these. In fact his master plan probably wouldn't be too illegal if it weren't for his tactics.

* InNameOnly: The movie took the names and the very bare-bones plot and ditched the rest.
* KamehameHadoken : Chun-Li uses one to [[spoiler:take Bison down]].

* 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 Golden Gate Park. [[CaptainObvious Which is a park.]]
* NeckSnap: [[spoiler:Bison does this to Chun-Li's father, right in front of her.]] [[{{Irony}} She eventually returns the favor.]], right in front of his daughter.

** Everyone in Bangkok apparently speaks perfect English with an American accent.

* [[spoiler: [[MadScientistsBeautifulDaughter The Corrupt Corporate Executive's Beautiful Daughter]]: Rose]]
* TheWorfEffect: [[spoiler:Gen's repeated curb-stompings at Bison's hands]]

** And Chun Li is half-white and barely uses her famous buns.
** Um isn't Gen suppose to be a extremely old man with with a beard, not a guy in his mid 30s?

** Um its Gen suppose to be a extremely old man with with a beard, not a guy in his mid 30s?

* Um its Gen suppose to be a extremely old man with with a beard. Not a guy in his mid 30s.

* NotScreenedForCritics

* {{Yellowface}}: Or maybe a RaceLift. You decide.
** Kristen Kreuk is half Chinese, so this might be more a case of [[ButNotTooBlack But Not Too Asian]] / [[ButNotTooForeign Foreign]].
* YouDontLookLikeYou: M. Bison as a blonde bearded guy in a suit.

* MoralDissonance: Chun-Li putting the Coup De Grace on [[spoiler: Bison, with his completely innocent daughter watching]].
* NeckSnap: [[spoiler:Bison does this to Chun-Li's father, [[ForTheEvulz right in front of her.]] [[{{Irony}} She eventually returns the favor.]], right in front of his daughter]].

* {{Expy}}: Maya Sunee is almost certainly a stand in for [[StreetFighterIV Crimson Viper]]. They are law enforcement agents that share a first name.
