Even though Kristin Kreuk’s Street Fighter origins story is a realistic approach to the beloved video game, that didn’t stop her and Michael Duncan from recreating the game, costumes and all, on their own time.

We got a chance to talk to the delightful Kristin Kreuk about starring in the action-packed video game adaption and origins story Street Fighter: The Legend Of Chun-Li. Kreuk spilled about recreating a true-to-the video-game spoof clip with some cast-mates, challenged those that said she’s too tiny to be Chun-Li’s leg and explained why you won’t be hearing her say “yup yup” in this film – but who knows, maybe in the sequel?

Were you nervous taking on this beloved character? Although, surely you’ve dealt with fan expectations before?

I think the reason I decided to take this character was because of the Spiritual arc of the script, even though in the movie you see her street fighting, for me that was what was appealing, and I thought it was a way to encourage people, in our own little way, to do that in their own lives.
