I’m not so sure about this one, but here goes: the officialStreet Fighter: The Legend of Chun Libloghas the first image of one of the film’s characters, Detective May Sunee. Wait … who?
“She’s Bangkok Gangland Homicide,” writes Aaron Horwitz on the blog. “A no-nonsense, fast-talking, half-Thai cop who rocks a Ducati and a set of gold cuffs.”
So that’s her above, played by actress Moon Bloodgood (from the failed, but decent, television seriesJourneyman), whose real name is actually cooler than the character. My question is this — were there not enough existingStreet Fighteruniverse characters to do the job? Well, I guess 1994’sStreet Fighter: The Movieanswered that question, didn’t it?
The blog also has production art from the film that features Vega battling Chun Li, and kind of redeems the whole “we wanted to write an attractive, bad-ass Asian chick into the film for the hell of it” thing.Check it out.
