Watch This: Chris Klein in 'Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun-Li'
Filed under: Action, Comedy, 20th Century Fox, Remakes and Sequels, Games and Game Movies
Has it really been almost a month since me and maybe three other people paid to see Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun-Li? As I said before, there were two things I took away from that experience: the haunting cadence of Michael Clarke Duncan's laughter, and the Razzie-worthy turn by Chris Klein as swaggering Interpol agent Charlie Nash. I can see the for-your-consideration ads now:"Can only be described as epic in its awfulness" ... "I can't remember the last time I watched an actor fail to walk into a room convincingly" ... "So wooden that he makes Keanu Reeves seem like Don Knotts" ... "This shit is Ricotta, folks."
As several other reviews noted/hoped, his performance is one particularly ripe for a highlight reel on YouTube someday, and sure enough, an impatient individual of like mind cut one together (we put it after the jump). Running eleven minutes, I'm willing to bet it's actually every scene of his in the thing, and by the time he's yelling "NASH OUT!" into the nearest walkie-talkie, you'll be glad someone took the time.
Thanks to Pajiba for keeping an eye out, and remember: I call dibs on this costume for next Halloween. GOSS OUT!

I give Klein points for not just staring in awe at Moon Bloodgood. I have to imagine that it's a lot harder to act when all of your blood is below your waist.
When this film comes out on DVD, they should make a Full Moon version and just have the camera stay on Bloodgood and let everyone else say their lines off camera.

Thanks for the video. I saw this thing in theaters and was busting out laughing every time he was on screen. It was like he had this permanently-fixed douche bag expression glued to his face and everything he said was some sort of horrid one liner. I wanted friends to see it but couldn't bring myself to actually recommend seeing the whole movie. Now I can just show them this!
