Everybody’s fighting these days. “Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun-Li” opened on Friday with virtually no promotion — I mean, I haven’t even seen a TV spot for it yet, and I watch a lot of television — and tonight at the Bloor, Edgar Wright is screening “Shaolin Soccer” and “The Story of Ricky”.
So in honor of all the aggro, this week’s Sympatico/MSN gallery is dedicated to imaginary match-ups between existing action characters. John McClane vs. John Rambo, Selene from “Underworld” vs. Aeon Flux, Snake Plissken vs. Gabe Cash … you get the idea.
Sometimes it’s fun to be silly. Actually, it’s almost always fun to be silly. Feel free to snipe at my choices in the comments, but remember, the decision of the judges is final.
No way, even with a lack of depth perception factored in, does Cash beat Snake. Since everyone always thinks Snake is dead, he will have the element of surprise.
You know, now that you bring this up, Terminator 3 really should have been about a good T-800 vs. an evil T-800. Or a good T-800 vs. an evil new model using the same physical appearance. That would have made a much better movie than what we got (and I’m not a T3 hater).
