What Parents Need to Know
About Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun-Li
Parents need to know that this is a review of the theatrical release and not the "unleashed and unrated" version available on DVD that may include more questionable content. This film is wholly and entirely based on the popular Street Fighter video game series -- a new edition of which just hit stores. Parents also need to know that despite the PG-13 rating, there's a great amount of gun play and lethal violence in the film; while (mostly) bloodless, the film's plot still involves a body count in the dozens. Parents also need to know that this film is a love letter to vengeance and wrath, as a young woman fights her way across Asia to find and punish the man who imprisoned her father.

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about the curious phenomenon of the video game-to-film adaptation, a recent trend that's given us films as infamously bad as Super Mario Brothers and Resident Evil; are these interesting riffs on beloved characters and settings, or are they mercenary exercises in money-making and greed?
- Families can also talk about the portrait of a female actress as the lead in this film -- is this a bold blow for equality through showing a female lead kick, punch, and kill, or a step back from it?
- Finally, families can talk about the MPAA rating system and the thought process that underlies it: How is it a film with dozens of deaths, some in hand-to-hand combat and some in pitched gun battles, can have a PG-13 rating?

great fighting 12 0ver
- I rate this title iffy for age 12 and give itMy concerns are:
- Excessive violence
- Inappropriate sexual content
When it comes to movies based on video games, the quality ranges from pleasantly mediocre to unbearably awful. This film places in between that. For a video game series that's never been known for a great story, they actually managed to make the story there is worse than it was in the video games! The acting quality in this film also ranges from ok to awful (Chris Klein is the main offender here.) The action scenes are well made, I guess, but that's pretty much the only saving grace of this film. The content is also probably more suitable for older teens than 13 year olds, but even then I can't willingly recommend this. Need a better and less edgy martial arts film? Try Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon instead.
