## Key points

- Capcom rejected a scene where Chun-Li loses a finger.
- A palm brand replaced the injury.
- A real slap scene was filmed but cut.

## Summary

Callina Liang says Capcom rejected an early version of a *Street Fighter* scene in which Chun-Li cut off her finger to prove her loyalty to M. Bison. The filmmakers instead used a brand on her palm, avoiding a lasting change to the character that could affect future films and merchandise.

Liang also revealed that a scene where Chun-Li slapped Ken Masters was filmed but left out of the final cut. Noah Centineo agreed to be slapped for real across several takes. In the film, Chun-Li is trying to avenge her father and expose Bison’s plan to drain Ryu’s powers through the tournament.
