It's not really as bad a movie as people say, just has some glaring problems
>half the cast pronounces Ryu "rye-u"
>Ryu and Ken are gun runners which is completely different from their game character
>Dhalsim only throws a single punch during the whole movie
>Blanka is basically Necrid
>Honda is Hawaiian
>Balrog is a good guy
The film is an enjoyable b-action movie if you mostly ignore the street fighter connection. Vega, Sagat, Bison, Cammy and Guile were mostly on point though

>just has some glaring problems
Yeah the main one having shit fight scenes. They make a film based on a fighting game, and get even the most simplest of things like good fight scenes wrong. Ryu and Ken are meant to be the main characters in the franchise and just look at the absolute state of the actors they got in for them. This is why Mortal Kombat is the far superior film.

STREET FIGHTER: THE MOVIE: THE GAME: THE RIDE: THE NOVEL : THE COMICBOOK: THE ALBUM
Lucas Collins
Yeah, there were few fight scenes in Street Fighter and none that were well choreographed. They really dropped the ball on that one and that's why I said the movie is enjoyable if you ignore that it's supposed to be a SF movie.
Mortal Kombat is a work of art just for the theme song alone and they actually put in the work to make it about martial art duels
Jaxson Hughes
Jordan Price
Back then it was weird for vidya game and comic movies because the filmmakers felt they had to justify the bizarre stuff to fit into our "real world".
Not like today where they basically do a straight up adaptation
Luke Wilson
It's even better when you factor in the behind the scenes stuff.
Van damne had a massive cocaine habit and wouldn't show up to set some days.
It also came out later he started a sexual affair with the actress who played Cammy. Their is an old Playboy interview where he admits they spent an entire weekend during production naked in bed having constant unprotected sex. (Which lead to a false pregnancy scare months later.)
Lucas Rogers
Did she even put on a British accent for the film I can't remember.
Alexander Garcia
She tried. It's a weird mix that changes from scene to scene.
Can't blame Van Damme for tapping that pussy though. She was a easy 10/10 during filming.
Gabriel Reyes
M. Bison (Raul Julia) was the best part of this film
Zachary Butler
Who wouldn't.
Caleb Sanchez
Holy shit what a pitslut
Christopher Evans
>rye-u
but that's how you say it you dumb weeb not that ree-you shit.
What are you going to say next? the nigger boxer is m bison, the Mexican claw guy is balrog and the red hat is vega?
fuck that shit.
Jaxson Brooks
>they spent an entire weekend during production naked in bed having constant unprotected sex.
Yeah you can tell something was up between the two during the final scene of the movie. It's the way she keeps looking at him and smiling that's the dead giveaway.
Lincoln Jenkins
Jayden Smith
It's a crime tbey only put her in the normal Cammy outfit for the game.
Anthony Ramirez
based Van damne
Aiden Brooks
The only good characters in this movie were Bison and Zangief. Kylie Minogue was inspired casting but then they idiotically covered her up the whole film, she's a fanservice character for fuck's sake.
Street Fighter is a fun flick to laugh over with friends at how bad it is but that's it.
Mason Jenkins
Wait, I thought this fight was in the second movie.
Xavier Nelson
I like how blue it is
Christian Lewis
You thought and remembered wrong m8.
Michael Gray
This is the only good Street Fighter movie.
Easton Williams
She looks so much hotter in Mortal Kombat than she did in Licence to Kill. Paler skin, meatier, she looks great with a ponytail
Charles Allen
To be fair, Ryu sucks as a protagonist and the story of SF is terrible as hell karate star wars when they try to make him the focal point. Guile is a better protagonist as he has a direct reason to oppose Bison in the story as Guile's mentor Nash was killed by Bison. Meanwhile Ryu fights Bison because.... Bison happens to be holding a tournament and Ryu bums around the world entering martial arts competitions.
Benjamin Long
Looks hot as fuck in both tbqh.
Jace Ross
Nothing will ever top official female nudity. 90s Capcom were mad lads.
A fully nude shower scene would never fly today.
Ryan Wilson
Ryu was the main character of the first game though and they tried to make him more relevant with the Satsui no Hado.
He did end up losing to Ken in the Second World War Tournament though.
I don't get why people care about stories in fighting games though. It's all the same shit where it's some criminal holding a tournament.
Sebastian Bell
She looked good in LTK but she got upstaged by Carey Lowell
Daniel Gonzalez
Those fuckin pits...
Dominic Nguyen
Dan was always my favorite
Hudson Lopez
Wyatt Morales
Two great Bond girls in one film is rare.
Zachary Hill
The early 90's were a great time. You could get away with so much casual nudity and sex in film.
Mason Ross
Oliver Sullivan
BOYKA! BOYKA!

>It's not really as bad a movie as people say
Do you suffer from braindamage? It's absolute dogshit, dude. The only thing remotely good about this was Raul Julia. Nothing was on point in this and even Guile was really off.
Lucas Thompson
>the actress who played Cammy
That's Kylie Minogue you absolute mouthbreathers. If Van Damme claimed he fucked her for days on set he's full of shit.
Logan Bell
It's a clusterfuck and here's why

Brandon Miller
Raul Julia was a truly great actor who, when he learned he had a fatal and inoperable illness, dove headfirst into whatever schlock he could crank out so his family would have money after he died.
Sebastian Sullivan
I heard it was because his kids were obsessed with Street Fighter and begged him to do it
Ayden White
Grandkids, actually
Connor Cruz
Everything Van Damme touches is fucking gold. There are some films I dont feel like watching that often but every film of his is better than any other actor pound for pound save for maybe Nicholson.
>most underrated: Double Impact
>most overrated: Lionheart
>best film (of all time btw): Kickboxer
Pic unrelated, all my Van Damme gifs I typically post are on my laptop and I just wanted to say white fucking power and bless Van Damme
Cameron Morris
My favorite is Sudden Death
David Jones
>Everything Van Damme touches is fucking gold
Imagine having literal shit taste like this
Joseph Evans
I'd stomp your candy ass in to cotton rainbow fluff you little bitch. Nerds like you could never appreciate a true man like Van Damme
Ayden Ortiz
Didn't he get his ass kicked in a bar fight by this man? lmao
Joshua Long
Doubt it, kid
Oliver Jackson
>That's Kylie Minogue
well i'll be damned, i never realized that
Hunter Hughes
you can tell adkins had to slow down for her, but she's a good martial artist for sure.
Eli Thomas
If anyone could do it my nigga Jean Claude could
Lucas Diaz
He was dying while filming.
Landon Gonzalez
i came
Xavier Hernandez
I cranked it a ton to Chun Li in this movie
Adam Wilson
has some of the greatest dialogue of ANY movie
>....it was tuesday
>...get on my boat and...WITH ME!!!
Cooper Turner
BREEENG ME YAWR FUCKEEEN CHAMPIONNNNN
Brayden Davis
You seem to forget Van Damme's star status at the time Street Fighter was made.
Andrew Torres
He got hit in the head and balled up on the floor until his bodyguards dealt with the situation.
Matthew Kelly
If nothing else, you gotta give this movie credit for one thing: Casting Raul Julia as Bison was a stroke of genius. He delivers his lines with a masterclass mix of pathos and cheese, and owns every frame he appears in. Even crazier when you consider that he was so weak from cancer treatment that he had assistants lift him to his feet between takes.
Landon Brooks
I'll wait patiently for proof you little bitch and because that fat stupid faggot claims it happened isn't proof btw
Sebastian Peterson
What are you talking about? Everybody knows that when a greasy, over-the-hill guido brags about fucking somebody up, it's 100% fact.
Samuel Clark
In 1994, this movie being his memorial was a tragedy.
In 2018, this is the perfect movie to memorialize him. Raul Julia as M. Bison is perfection.
Isaiah Rodriguez
>You came here expecting to fight a madman, and instead you found A GOD? Perhaps now would be a good time to PRAY to him!
Fuckin' based, no doubt about it.
Liam Adams
Its almost sad this movie was such a bomb, its lasted the tests of time scriptwritingwise.
