A new batch of pictures from Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun Li has hit the web. It’s probably going to suck a lot because there’s a guy from the Black Eyed Peas in it.
In this picture, I believe Michael Clarke Duncan (as Balrog) is saying, "Motherf*cker, what part of ‘mine-o, not yours-o’ don’t you understand?" or possibly, "Don’t you ever touch a black man’s Quizno’s flatbread Sammie!"

One project that has really slipped under the radar is Steven Soderbergh’s two-movie take on Che Guevara – The Argentine and The Guerilla, both starring Benicio Del Toro (who’s right up there with Forrest Whitaker as Idi Amin and Morgan Freeman as Mandela in the annals of obvious casting). They don’t have a distributor yet, so the release date is still uncertain, but today, this bootleg trailer for The Argentine hit the web. It’s all in Spanish without subtitles, but it looks pretty good. The language of squinting is universal.
Hey look, Beverly Hills Chihuahua has a new trailer. No dance numbers in this one, but it’s still pretty horrifying. When I have a kid, the only movie he’s watching is Full Metal Jacket and if he cries at the suicide scene he’s getting kidney punched. Life’s a jungle, not a petting zoo you little shit.
Seems like every time people set out to create wholesome fare for kids, they end up with something creepy and oddly sexual. Call it the Banana Smoothie effect. I don’t know if it’s something about the process itself, or just a trait common in those who like making crap for little kids.
You can see it in full effect in this latest trailer for Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa, which begins with various animals shaking their asses to a techno beat, a lemur popping out of a cake in a coconut bra, and a character saying "Glad we could introduce you to the toilet." They like to move it, move it. What’s ‘it’, you ask? It’s Tonka trucks son, now let’s never speak of this again.
Boring movie news day here on FilmDrunk continues with the trailer for Sex Drive (after the jump), an indie comedy directed by an unknown named Sean Anders, starring Josh Zuckerman and James Marsden. I thought it looked lame at first, but the "The big Mexican won’t go down!" scene at the end of the trailer kind of won me over.
I like how the guy from 27 Dresses is trying to shake off his Nancy-man image by playing the redneck older brother. He looks a little uncomfortable, like he’s auditioning for the Gay Shame Parade. That’s where a bunch of gay guys in suits march down mainstreet pretending to like football and having awkward personal space issues.
