I don't want to steal Imports pics so I'll just link to the thread on Imports forum:

Admittedly I havent seen the Resident Evil movies yet but you'd think after bad video game movies like Mario Bros, Tomb Raider, Street Fighter etc they would learn.
These movies obviously make money though. You'll get loads of teen boys going to see it I'm sure as there's bound to be an abundance of fit girls in fighting with hardly any clothes - probably it'll be a PG-13 movie, knowing the US.

Aye this does look abysmal but I might watch it anyway for the girls. I have a cineworld pass so may as well use it lol.

Video game to film conversions are dodgy but sometimes work well. I.e. Silent Hill, Mortal Kombat, Street Figher II anime etc...

Oh yeah I heard the SF II animé is good, should check that out.
Romero will love it (DOA) anyway

"Street Fighter" with Van Danmme rocked.

Wow... what were you smoking when you watched that flick!?

Anyway, the Corey Yuen version or DOA looks like a bad joke, with ugly girls in ridiculous outfits. Looks like it's REALLy low budget.
It COULD have good choreography, but I probably wont see it.
Most offensive is probably that it seems like the asian characters are being played by white chicks. Not offensive becaus eof anything racial or anything, but offensive because the asian girls in DOA were HOT, and these white chicks playing them dont even come close to being hot.

It looks more like a Cos-play convention gone violent, then an actual movie (BTW, THAT would make an AWESOME movie. LD take note, you could write a Die Hard style flick, set in Japan

)

Anyway, I hope in a few years time they'll just make these kind of movies in CGI or Anime style. That way it can stay closest to the original series, without actors not looking like their gaming counterparts, or bad actors ruining the whole movie.

I also feel they should just make the Star Wars movies in complete CGI, instead of blending it reality with CGI.

Street Fighter was so bad that it's almost enjoyable to watch it over a few beers and then shred it to pieces.

You guys should check out the Korean Street Fighter. Funniest shit I've seen in a long time - makes Future Cops (the HK ripoff) look like a masterpiece.

What about Devon Aoki as Kasumi?
I think she's kinda cute (but she doesnt look ANYTHING like Kasumi).

Yi-Long · Post by **Yi-Long** » 07 May 2006, 13:56

Blegh. I dont think she's cute at all. She looks a bit like an azn girl with down-syndrome, and Cristina Ricci...
Havent seen her in any movies though, so I'm just judging her on the pictures I found on Google.
Doesnt look like Kasumi AT ALL, indeed.

I think we have the winner of this year's most offensive remark...

As to the film: I'm sure it'll be shite... yet hot chicks and ass-kicking compels me to see it.

Why is it offensive? That's the technical term for it. How could I have said that any differently!?

Just look at some of the pics of her on google.com.

She was in Sin City Yi... you seen that?

Yi-Long · Post by **Yi-Long** » 07 May 2006, 16:02

Nope, havent seen it yet. Wasnt she also in Fast and the Furious? havent seen that one either

grim_tales · Post by **grim_tales** » 07 May 2006, 16:45

The Down's Syndrome remark was below the belt IMO... anyway Devon was certainly good looking (IMHO) in Sin City.

You guys would all prey for someone like Devon to chat you up thats for sure.

This looks like the best film ever.

EvaUnit02 · Post by **EvaUnit02** » 08 May 2006, 12:17

Looks like complete tripe.

I too have always thought that Devon Aoki was f-ugly.

grim_tales · Post by **grim_tales** » 08 May 2006, 12:19

I think Bruce is yanking a chain

thelostdragon · Post by **thelostdragon** » 08 May 2006, 13:01

Devon Aoki is not my type at all. I wouldn't say ugly, because I only call people ugly, when I can hardly look at them without wondering about how bad those poor creatures are looking.

So Devon Aoki is certainly not ugly in my opinion, but also not above average good-looking. She's just plain normal. To me there is a difference between looking normal and looking ugly.

BiscLimpkit · Post by **BiscLimpkit** » 10 May 2006, 21:56

I think she's adorable and I'd love to confiscate her and put her in my pocket aww.

After she has been in my Pocket 8)
