Johnny Cage

Would have been (slightly) better if they had not attached anything Street Fighter related into the story. Come on...I mean, Kristen Kreuk as Chun Li? Ming-Na played a decent Chun Li in the last POS Street Fighter, but my personal choice for Chun Li has to be Xiyi Zhang or that one chick who was Michelle Yeoh's daughter in the 3rd Mummy flick.

At least Linden Ashby made a badass Johnny Cage.

Hey! Kristen Kreuk wasn't bad. She's half-Chinese herself and actually took martial arts in real-life. I think she fit just fine for the role.

I use to think Zhang Ziyi would be good for the role too but Kristen Kreuk wasn't bad herself.

Survived two invasions, married (and divorced) Sonya, and had a little girl in between. Now Johnny is Raiden's chosen champion.
