Speech of the Week #32

Hey guys, welcome to a column here on YDKS Movies entitled Speech of the Week! For now on, every Monday I will post a new scene from a movie that features a speech of some sort being given. After all, there are a lot of famous scenes in film where characters give an influential speech of some sort. Then again, there are also a lot of scenes where characters give a speech and it just comes off cheesy and lame. In this section, you will see both kinds. That's right, people, I'm giving you the good and bad of film speeches all wrapped up in one great big package. I hope you all enjoy.


I'm not sure who thought Street Fighter: The Legend of Chung-Li was a good idea. Not only does no one really want to see a new Street Fighter movie (the first one was bad enough) but one about Chung-Li? Who cares about Chung-Li? I know I don't.

Well, as it turns out, the movie is pretty awful. As of right now, it's at 0% on Rotten Tomatoes. Also, it bombed this past weekend, only making 4 million dollars and opening at number 8. So, it appears no one did want to see a new Street Fighter movie.

As Street Fighter: The Legend of Chung-Li dies a slow and painful death at the box office, I figured it would be nice to honor it here with a Speech of the Week. Below, you will find a video containing five various clips from the movie. The first clip showcases actor Chris Klein giving a speech about M. Bison. I haven't seen Chris Klein in anything since American Pie 2 and this clip shows why. His delivery of this speech and his overall acting is absolutely terrible. In fact, it's pretty laughable. Of course, he did have to deliver lines like "This guy walks through the rain drops..." Still... he's pretty bad.

Watch Klein trying to act below. Also, feel free to watch the whole roll of clips just to see how bad this movie is. The clip with Vega is embarrassing. Also, there is a bonus clip in there of Klein yelling about a bomb. Trust me, it's Oscar worthy.
