10 Awful Movies The Flash Actors Want Us To Forget

5. Street Fighter: The Legend Of Chun Li - Chris Klein (Orlin Dwyer AKA Cicada)

In Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun Li, our titular heroine teams up with Interpol agent to take down the crime boss, Bison. The film was supposed to launch a cinematic universe based on Capcom's famous fighting franchise.

But not only was this idea scrapped when The Legend of Chun Li bombed, this Street Fighter reboot is regarded as among the worst video game adaptations ever. (Considering how low the bar is, that's a phenomenal achievement.)

The dialogue is so bad, great actors like Michael Clarke Duncan can't make it sound good. Bison is meant to be the most terrifying force to be reckoned with but it's impossible to take him seriously due to his leprechaun-like accent.

But it's Chris Klein who comes out the worst. Even though his character, Charlie Nash, is meant to have served on the police force for years, Klein looks like he's still in high school. He lays on the tough-guy act really thick, making it impossible to take a single word he says seriously.

Although the terrible special effects and over-the-top performances are unintentionally hilarious, Klein's acting is embarrassingly cringeworthy.
