2009 American film
Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun-Li is a 2009 American martial arts action film loosely based upon the Street Fighter video game series produced by Capcom. Directed by Andrzej Bartkowiak from a screenplay written by Justin Marks, the film serves as a non-canonical spin-off and theatrical tie-in to Street Fighter IV (2008). The story follows the quest of Street Fighter character Chun-Li, played by Kristin Kreuk, before the events of the original Street Fighter. The film co-stars Neal McDonough as M. Bison, Chris Klein as Charlie Nash, Michael Clarke Duncan as Balrog, and Black Eyed Peas member Taboo as Vega.
Produced by Capcom and Hyde Park Entertainment, with Keiji Inafune (better known for his work on the Mega Man franchise) as an executive producer, The Legend of Chun-Li was released on February 27, 2009, by 20th Century Fox, and became a critical and commercial failure. A reboot is scheduled to be released by Paramount Pictures and Legendary Entertainment on October 16, 2026.
