What to Know

Critics Consensus

The combination of a shallow plot and miscast performers renders Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun Li a perfectly forgettable video game adaptation.

This painful background tale of the schoolgirl master of the really slow fireball attack almost makes one yearn for the days of Jean-Claude Van Damme. Go to Full Review Perri Nemiroff CinemaBlend 08/14/2010

Trades in vital game info to squeeze in as much acrobatics and fighting sequences as possible. Bartkowiak shouldn't have taken the first part of the title so literally. Go to Full Review Marc Savlov Austin Chronicle 03/05/2009

The Legend of Chun-Li is as vapid and dull as it is. Go to Full Review Brian Eggert Deep Focus Review 12/02/2023

The strange part of this movie is, there isn’t much street fighting. Most of the characters use firearms, and they fight in the street only on occasion. [...] Perhaps the producers forgot the title of the movie. Go to Full Review David Hogan hoganreviews.co.uk 07/08/2020

Wooden acting, poor special effects and zero fight choreography, plus this film is SOMEHOW an even worse adaptation of its source material than the first film. Avoid! Go to Full Review Scott Beggs Film School Rejects 04/16/2019

Lars N @RT48306760 May 14 Real trash and i love it. If you like the Street Fighter Series, bad acting and trash in general, you will enjoy this movie. Otherwise its just forgettable, but will not hurt anybody. See more Alexander S @RT61935749 Oct 20 Hot garbage with OK action sequences here and there. Grading: D- See more Stephen C @bob25009 06/16/2025 Successful action-packed movie in 1 hour and 36 minutes. See more Ashley R @RT82983924 05/30/2025 This movie should have never been made See more Ryan C @RT82157002 01/29/2025 I'm being generous with this review and rating cause I like street fighter and bad action movies but this movie stinks in many ways. Its very boring for a movie with so much action I proffered the mortal Kombat movies much more. See more Jonathan O @RT41230270 08/08/2024 This is a shameful movie really terrible casting, really bad writing and directing and really god awful vfx. See more Read all reviews
