By now, you're probably familiar with the lengths some actors go to with getting ready for an action movie – whether that's a superhero blockbuster, martial arts movie, and everything in-between.

Still, few have been as transparent and candid as Street Fighter movie star Callina Liang.

In order to get ready for her role as Chun-Li in the live-action adaptation, Liang has been open about eating 12 eggs a day, having a meal every two hours, and studying every Chun-Li move from her gaming history to ensure she could replicate it on the big screen.

Liang's thighs even matched her video game counterpart, growing over 6.5cm in the span of a few months before filming. But why go to those lengths?

"I think because I was such a big fan of the character Chun-Li, and I knew that she's such a beloved, iconic video game character, I just didn't want to disappoint the fans," Liang tells GamesRadar+ of her above-and-beyond dedication to the role.

"I mean, really, this whole movie – everybody put everything into it. It's made by fans, for fans. I was just like, I've got to give it my all and have no regrets, and that's why I tried everything I could."

That attention to detail wasn't only present from those in front of the camera. As revealed by Ken actor Noah Centineo in our interview , Jon Valera researched "every" character in the Street Fighter movie to ensure their signature styles from Capcom's games were all present and accounted for.
