Tell me what's wrong with this.

In fact I'm absolutely positive of it, given that the totally awesome Ming Na played her in the 90s movie. I kind of remember nothing about the movie but Ming Na, Raul Julia, Jean Claude Van Damme's muscles, and the stealth boat with the name in giant letters on the side.
But anyway. Chun Li. Woman. Why, then is the trailer of a movie called Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun Li about 90% men and only has men talking. Wouldn't you think the trailer of a movie that, you know, sounds like it's about a woman feature women longer than it takes to blink. Oh, except, you know, that bit where Kristen Kreuk* looks scared. That lasted longer than it took to blink.
*No idea if the movie will be any good, but maybe this will help Kreuk break free of The Curse of Lana Lang? While Lana was both a wasted and overdone character and terribly written after the first season, I think Kreuk is actually a pretty decent actress, and could do things with a decently written character.
