After the theatrical release of "The Legend of Chun-Li", which was intended to be better and more successful than the Jean-Claude Van Damme "Street Fighter", "The Legend of Chun-Li" actually made less money at the box office than "Street Fighter" and was considered by many fans and critics as a worse film than the original 1994 "Street Fighter" movie.

Hi Jolly (Hadji or Haci Ali, 1828 - 1902) was a Syrian camel expert and driver hired by the army to help with the experiment.
