Woman is 60 and deserved her big break at least 40 years ago she's so great. Rewatching Agents of Shield and I love her, but even before the show I was a fan, I just became even more so with AoS.

Congrats to her. I had seen her for years in minor roles like L&O, but it was Stargate Universe where I really got put on to her.

Not saying this to knock on her or anything, but no matter what role she gets she's always Chun-Li to me.

Happy for her, but Hollywood Walk of Fame stars had their mystique ruined for me when I learned actors just had to pay for it, it was not "honored."

Fucking hell she looks mid 30.

And shame on me, I didn't know she's the voice of mulan until she appeared on some award show after I think she got big from the role in mandalorian.

And I really liked the original mulan too.

Yes but no not really. They still have to be nominated and selected to receive one. The $75,000 cost for the star is paid for after that.

Chun-li wasn't exactly that notable a character in the film. Her central role was allowing Raul Julia to monologue.

Also I didn't realize the Hollywood walk of fame is a vanity project. Imagine paying 75k for that, holy shit.

That's my point though. The "for me it was Tuesday" scene is iconic and was memed constantly when memes became a thing. It's easily the most famous scene of the movie and she's right there.

Sure, but Bison is the famous person for that scene. I honestly didn't remember either that Chun Li was who he was monologing at or who played her.

Guess I'm just weird then. I haven't seen the movie in over 20 years and I instantly recognized her in Agents Of Shield.

Rich Hollywood actors should probably be the ones fronting the bill for the golden stars. I think this is right and doesnt diminish anything.

I think it's actually awesome that that's how it works. I mean, it really is THEIR star, so next time you take a poopie on Kevin Spacey's star, know that ya did good son

Fighting game is a niche genre.

Yeah, Hollywood often makes expensive movies about niche video games, especially in the 90s.... Street Fighter is literally one of the first games to receive a Hollywood movie due to how insanely popular it was.

Yeah there is a cost for that star, but you still have to get nominated for it. Plus there should be a maintenance fee for it. Most of these Hollywood stars that get on their are probably making more money than any of us can make in 10 years.

Her career is like the reverse of a normal one. She came out of the gate swinging with Joy Luck Club and Mulan, and now she's known for TV shows like Agents of Shield and Star Wars.

To be fair, nowadays many of these big streaming shows are just as lucrative as movies.

Agreed, she looks great at 60 y/o

On the Left is what she looked like in 1998 when she was at the Disney Premiere for Mulan Animated Movie.

On the Right is what she looked like in 2020 for the Live-Action Mulan Premier

She's had a very long career and there are plenty of pics of when she was younger.

Capcom actually did most of the financing for the movie, so "Hollywood" wasn't really taking a risk making it. They mention it here on page 7: https://www.capcom.co.jp/ir/english/data/pdf/explanation/2017/full/explanation_2017_full_04.pdf
