yea I was wondering why didnt bob mention that scene where jackie chan crossdresses as the girl fighter...Okysho said:
serously though that movie is on crack or somthing lol
Sounds like a movie you could laugh your butt off too, especially if you were a little tipsy before watching it 
I always appreciate these videos Bob, but I have a small criticism. I don't think it is accurate to categorize Dicky Cheung as a Taiwanese TV star. He was born in Hong Kong, got his start in the entertainment business there and currently lives in Shanghai. Arguably he is most famous for his portrayal of Sun Wukong the Monkey King in the 1996 production of Journey to the West, which was made in Hong Kong. While he continues to enjoy popularity here, he only lived in Taiwan for four years and his major TV shows produced during that time were Taiwanese/Hong Kong co-productions. The term Taiwanese star is usually reserved for a person who comes from or first achieved fame in Taiwan.
Okay when bob first started digressing for long periods of time in these things i was into it. i liked that he backed up his opinions with obscure references.
but for the last two episodes its been less of "this is my opinion" and more of "how weird is this".
I do agree that this is strange but it serves no purpose other than to poke fun at itself unlike the spiderman and xmen episodes that used the digression to get at a real purpose.
i guess what im saying is PLEASE dont make this a habbit. its cool for a few episodes but not all of them.

Unfortunately, while 'they' keep on licensing video games for movies, they then get cold feet, thinking 'oh hell, we've just paid $10 million for the rights, what if only gamers come to see the movie?', forgetting that over a third of the US are gamers in some way, and then decide they have to make a movie suitable for non gamers that won't be too strange. that people won't need prior knowledge to enjoy.
This leads to 'The Legend of Chun Li' which no-one needed any SF knowledge to enjoy, just a frontal lobotomy.
Seriously tho, I quite enjoyed the Van Damme SF, Zangief was such a lovable dummy in that
The 5 minute section in City Hunter was better than all of 'Chun Li' combined however.

The Street Fighter II Animated Movie is seriously awesome, it shows Hollywood and everybody else how to do a game movie and they never listened.Onyx Oblivion said:
I've always liked the V series as well, but it's nowhere near as solid as the film and fans would nitpick it.
The Van Damme movie is hilarious and can be watched for entertainment and mock potential.
Chun-Li movie however is absolutely terrible in every way and made people appreciate the Van Damme version.
Did... Did Goku shout "Fatty the Bomb" when he fired off a Ki blast?? :O HAH! Well okay then. That sounds like a wonderful tag line.
Well... honestly, after seeing what passes for mainstream cinema in China (not that 让子弹飞 is a bad movie, but WEIRD it certainly is), nothing surprises me anymore.
