Josie Ho is a Street Fighter

Hong Kong actress Josie Ho has joined the cast of the “Street Fighter” remake/reboot/whatever. This newest incarnation of Street Fighter will star Smallville’s Kristin Kreuk, who will be playing Chun Li in the movie. Chun Li is the main character, in case you didn’t “get” that from the film’s title — “Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun Li”. The last time I saw Josie Ho was in the Hong Kong martial arts movie “House of Fury”, in which she played a high-kicking villain. Her filmography on IMDB.com doesn’t necessary show a leaning towards action movies, but she certainly can do some kicking when it’s required if “Fury” is any indication.
