The Flop House: Episode #49 - Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun-Li

Does the failure of Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun-Li mean we'll never get that long-awaited Blanka biopic? We fail to answer these and other questions. Meanwhile, Stuart discusses how thugs benefit from Outlook and multi-tasking, Elliott explains how this movie would be right at home in classic Hollywood, and Dan reveals he knows far too much about lesbian vampires.

0:00 - 0:37 - Introduction and theme
0:38 - 39:10- We dive right in and discuss a movie based on Chun-Li - a video game character that was only popular because preteen boys are too scared to talk to real girls.
39:11 - 40:10 - Final judgments
40:11 - 41:33 - A CONTEST WINNER ANNOUNCED, for the contest everyone (even the hosts) forgot was happening.
41:34 - 47:47 - The sad bastards recommend.
47:48 - 50:17 - Plugs, goodbyes, theme and outtakes.
50:18 - 51:17 - Station identification.

If you guys want a great good-bad movie based on a fighting game, check out DOA: Dead Or Alive. It's like a feature length series of cut-scenes from video games re-enacted with swimsuit models!
