Sexiest woman alive, 30 years running. This isn’t just my opinion, it’s an indisputable, scientifically verifiable fact. You could submit to Snopes and they’d say “yep, this is true, no woman on the planet is hotter than Ming-Na Wen”.
ReplyAww, boo! They used the PlayStation version of the game instead of the super jank arcade version of Street Fighter: The Movie: The Game….
ReplyMy parents got me Street Fighter The Movie The Game instead of Street Fighter 2. I was so torn between my immeasurable disappointment and my gratitude for a surprise gift.
ReplyThe day Ming-Na arrived on set, it was the most important day of her career… But for Van Damme, it was day 45 of his cocaine binge…
(Not kidding, Van Damme was high on cocaine the whole time he was filming Street Fighter. Meanwhile, Raul Julia chose the movie because he knew he was dying of cancer and his kids loved the game.)
Replyanybody caught what Fabio was saying @ 3:32?
Replythe auto-caption was crap.
She has barely aged. THis is from 25 years ago
ReplyGod she looks so young here!
ReplyGotta love her. She’s a star wars nerd who got to play a badass in both star wars and mcu. Could do a movie just about her two characters meeting in the multiverse
ReplyThe reveal to us now who hasn’t seen this episode of a rectal doctor(?), Mig-Na Wen talking about butts, and then Fabio when the camera pans out after talking about the theme is like a comedy skit of its own.
ReplyHow much more nineties can that couch line-up get? And the answer is…none. None more nineties.
ReplyJeezus, you would think this was filmed yesterday. She still looks as good today, and Conan as well!
ReplyI hope they make a movie of Streetfighter: The Movie: The Game, because I’d like to make a documentary about the process. Streetfighter: The Movie: The Game: The Movie: The Documentary.
ReplyGotta love random Fabio appearances… also, was he the main guest that day?
ReplyTalk about SMOOOKIN HOT!
ReplySo I was born 2 months after this aired. Conan’s attitide has remained humble, and my personality changed so much in these 25 years. Damn
ReplyThey both looked older in this video than they do today.
ReplyI assume the ageing portrait of Ming Na Wen is the guest on Conan’s podcast soon.
Replyvideogame, based on the movie “street fighter”?
