Mind you, who needs actors when you ve got a platoon of buff beauties, oiled-up personal trainers, a wicked CGI team and a preexisting plot that needn t make any sense in the first place? See, there s this secret Pacific island where all the planet s best fighters compete for big cash and international bragging rights. Between brutal (yet remarkably bloodless) martial arts showdowns, you might find these six-packed babes and beefy lugs playing beach volleyball, searching for a long lost brother, hot-tubbing, robbing a vault, or trying to woo one another with the subtlety of a pile-driver.
Even if you ve never wrapped your thumbs around the console version, offers a cast of fully empowered heroines you ll recognize if not by the actors faces, then by the proven archetypes. There s Kasumi (Devon Aoki), the solemn Asian warrior princess on a noble quest; Tina (Jaime Pressly), the Pam-styled blond bombshell who s prone to cussin ; and Christie, the slinky, cosmopolitan thief who looks and fights best in basic black. it ain t, but big up to director Corey Yuen ( ) for crafting a splashy and appropriately trashy fighting flick that chicks can cheer for.
True-blue fans of the original game might take issue with some inconsistencies here.
