World's strongest film headed to Blu-ray

by Richard Mitchell { May 8th 2009 at 11:00PM }

We didn't believe it at first, but it looks like humanity's greatest cinematic achievement, also known as Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun-Li, is coming to Blu-ray -- and DVD, incidentally -- this June. Of course, one disc isn't nearly enough to contain a film this powerful, so the special edition comes packed with three.

Included with the package are theatrical and unrated versions of the movie, plenty of bonus features -- including a sneak peek at Marvel vs. Capcom 2 -- and also the Street Fighter Round One: Fight! animated comic movie. Oh, and let's not forget, it also has awesome box art. We think we speak for everyone when we say get pumped.

How come I don't see /sarcasm written any where?

WHY GOD WHY????........

MariusElijah (Only on PlayStation 3) @ May 8th 2009 11:07PM

Why three discs? Shouldnt one be enough to hold everything, Whats the point Blu-Ray if its not going to be use well.

Reevr @ May 9th 2009 5:05AM

People think that they're getting more when it's on 3 disks. That's my guess as to why they do it like that.

Moris @ May 9th 2009 9:52AM

Yep, I'd have to agree with Reevr. Seems like a good idea. But you have to remember, if the movie is in full 1080p, it takes up a good amount of space. (not to mention, there are different sized Blu-Ray discs as well)

Planet Earth (don't know if any of you care for it, but i love it XD ) had to be put onto 4 Blu-Ray discs... Then again its about 550 minutes long at full 1080p :P

I am so hard on for this. Some one hold me, I need some Cheez-its.

Why does Chris Klein look like Nicolas Cage?

Darkdrium777 @ May 9th 2009 12:02AM

It's one of the best movies ever, along with Troll 2 and Silent Night Deadly Night 2.
Please Joystiq, tell us when these two will be released on blu-Ray as well! People shouldn't miss out on these!!

Come Get Me!!! @ May 9th 2009 12:58AM

GARBAGE DAY!!!!!! POW!!!!!

gkwie @ May 9th 2009 12:33AM

Finally!! I've been waiting for this to come on blu-ray.
Now to invite a few friends over so we can mock and laugh at how bad the movie is!

*Homer Simpson voice* Wohooo!!

Angel Mass @ May 9th 2009 2:12AM

I have the feeling that this movie is too much for us mere mortals

esposch @ May 9th 2009 2:37AM

This, SONY fanboys, is why the Wii doesn't support Blu-ray. :)

crimsonedge38 @ May 9th 2009 2:56AM

A NINTENDO fanboy should know very good and well that when something becomes popular even the worst of things come to it :P.

esposch @ May 9th 2009 3:12AM

Touche. Just like the PS2. =þ

Ashitaka @ May 9th 2009 12:08PM

You wish.

esposch @ May 9th 2009 9:45PM

Why so serious guys? I was having a joke, not bringing over the console wars...

BUGz @ May 9th 2009 2:42AM

i haven't seen this movie, should i pass or buy?

golobulus @ May 9th 2009 2:46AM

shitty. give me the gi joe's animated movie on blu-ray!

prodigy69 @ May 9th 2009 6:46AM

I wouldn't even piss on it...even if it was on fire

Comtar @ May 10th 2009 12:05PM

Would you piss on it if you could piss gasoline?

Ty @ May 9th 2009 10:21AM

Unleashed AND unrated? I'm all over this.

David @ May 9th 2009 11:35AM

So is this a movie worth watching?

Autobot @ May 9th 2009 5:12PM

Yes. It's the most awesome movie on the planet.

hetesh_patel @ May 9th 2009 12:52PM

Cool, this and Dragonball Evolution, when it comes out, will be on top of my collection. lol

Dv8thwonder @ May 9th 2009 5:20PM

What would make the worst movie of 09' even worse?
The ability to watch it in the comfort of your home.

I didn't think a movie could top Super Mario Bros., Double Dragon, The Wizard, Resident Evil series, Mortal Kombat:Annihaltion and the original Street Fighter as best of the worst videogame movies but Street Fighter tops them all.

Here's this year Razzy for sure.

HDpurist @ May 9th 2009 6:24PM

Awesome. This film will be an instant campy classic film in 20 years...just like how JCVD's staring role in Street Fighter has such an underwhelming cult following now to this day....

HUPextreme @ May 9th 2009 7:38PM

This and Dragonball Evolution will be on the top of my blu ray collection. lol

joshua_w @ May 9th 2009 7:45PM

People who like this movie are part of what's wrong with humanity today.

Thor @ May 9th 2009 8:52PM

Digital copies shouldn't be counted as an extra disk.

That annoys the hell out of me and they stick a higher price on it too making you think you're getting a good deal.

Timstew @ May 9th 2009 11:38PM

So, making only $12 mil worldwide with a production budget of $50 mil wasn't enough to know it's not worth further investments? Lick your wounds, maybe learn from your mistakes, and just send this straight to FX network.

Deadpool @ May 10th 2009 3:32AM

THE HORROR OF CHRIS KLEIN'S ACTING!!! It's clearly the work of the devil!!! o_O

The film should have been more like Cynthia Rothrock's movies. As of 25 years Cynthia is still one of a kind. Too bad there hasn't been a woman fighter quite like her. If there is PLEASE let me know!
