>What went wrong?
Wasn't faithful to the source material.

also...

HNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNG

lack of respect for the source material for being a "lower" art form

Reminder Van Damme was taking 4 grams of coke then fucking Kylie every day when making this film.

and he shouldnt even had appeared, Dolph shouldve been Guile

Everything that could go wrong for this movie went wrong for this movie.
I think Columbine happened during production and they had to cut all their violence down to the point where it was almost a G rated movie(which is cinematic poison as adults won't see a movie with such a kiddie rating) so they added one line of dialogue with the word shit in it(Guile: Four years of ROTC for this shit!) so they'd get at least a PG rating.
Raul was dying during production and held on to life like a fucking boss to give his kids one last movie but that fucked things up.
Van Damme was coked out of his mind and fucking Kylie Minogue, so he was having a good time.
A ton of the crew got sick, the budget was cut at some point waaaay to late to do much about it.

And yet it is still a fun movie for kids somehow.

it failed to get two things that make street fighter street fighter right. the characters and the "world warrior" aspect. the movie is set in one location and has a james bond/star wars like plot. you don't get to see different locations and people fighting in them. because of the specific setting, each character needed a reason to be there and significant screen time to get their story across when that would be unnescary if it were just a tournament movie about ryu and ken going to different nations and fighting the other street fighters

the movie came out in 1994. colombine was in 1999

Casting Raul Julia as Bison was the only thing this movie got right desu. I still love it though.

THEY'RE MAKING A NEW STREET FIGHTER MOVIE AND IT LOOKS LILE FUCKING TRASH FUCK MAN I JUST WANT TO SEE KEN BE COCKY AND RYU WANDER AROUND FIGHTING AND THE MAJOR CHARACTERS TO SHOW UP AND FIGHT AND REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEERERREEEEERRRRRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEREAAAAAHAHAHAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

He just wanted to show her his Thailand

Apologies. Capcom wanted it to be PG and forced edits that toned it down to a G before they added a swear word to push it up, Columbine was unrelated.

This scene alone justifies the movie.

Also the IMDB trivia page for this movie is insane.
imdb.com/title/tt0111301/trivia

wrong

he showed her his thailand

>let's make a videogame movie
>alright, let's do this!
>let's base it on a game that practically has no plot!
I don't understand why anyone would base a film on a fighting game

Street fighter, tekken, and mortal kombat all have plots. The whole point is to expand on the lore, create memorable fight scenes and get the casting right. Also, have sex you fucking faggot

have sex

did she really put on that high cut green leotard for promotions? god fucking damn muh dick

>an opinion so low-brow it warrants immediate recycling of the body, to be repurposed as fertiliser.
They don't have plots beyond "HEY EVERYONE TURN UP FROM EVERYWHERE FOR A FIGHTING COMPETITION", which is like saying a boxing match has a plot.
Rocky has a plot, but if the film was just a series of boxing matches and nothing else, it wouldn't have a plot.
The stuff you call 'lore' is background filler to keep idiots entertained, same as WWE shit.

>did she really put on that high cut green leotard for promotions?
Yes.

god dammit why didnt we get this in live action

Street fighter the game was HUGE at the time. Avengers Endgame levels of huge. They didn't give a shit about the plot they just wanted to fire out a movie with that name on it asap.

You've never played Street Fighter have you? You dont know who trained Ryu and Ken, why Ryu's headband is red, the first run in with guile, who is Akuma and who did he kill. Please sit the fuck down you sound like a retard

>What went wrong?

It was a fight film with shit fight scenes, couldn't even get the most basic thing right lmao.

None of those things are interesting or important and no audience would care to hear about them

you got rekt move on faggot

I played it in the arcade when it came out you little faggot.
Saw the film when it first came out.
All the pointless shit that you obsess over is retrospectively added fluff. The makers of the games know it, everyone else knows it. For some reason you've chosen the least significant information in the world to focus on, who knows why.

To save some time, here is an identical thread with the same crap 'revealed' from 100 years ago.
Better pictures and more detail too.
archive.4plebs.org/tv/thread/78809975/

Oh I thought this was you
My apologies user but still you're a faggot as well
If you really knew more than this surface level info then you really are a retard

I bet if I told you a story for every costume in streetfighter 5, you'd buy every single one.
That's what it is for, to sell you something.
The only real part of the game is how it works, how good the fighting mechanics are, and what you can do with them.
Everything else was purely for money-making; the cartoon, the comics etc etc etc. It was never intended with the first or second game.
In MK, then you now have huge backstories on reptile and his quest to beat his alcohol addiction and his lost puppy, but the first time he appeared he was just a pallete swap secret character with a couple of special attacks and a gimmick. Same with Noob Saibot, pallete swap, gimmick, named after the guys who ran the company. Smoke the same, etc etc.
You can enjoy it, but don't take it seriously, and never think that it is the main point of the games.

They could have easily made it work even with little plot, just have great fight scenes using actors or stunt actors who can actually fight - it's what the Mortal Kombat film more or less succeeded at.

It was more than that.

So, in your opinion would adding a scene where they beat the shit out of a car help?

w-what is this?

In my opinion if you're going to make a film based on the most simplest of things like a fighting game, it's worth having actually good fight scenes.

Would have been awesome.
Biggest disappointment of seeing the film was that they normalised everything and made it boring and disconnected from the feel

There is a game. The best game ever
>Street fighter the movie: the video game
She's in it.

A lost project.
Something that had it come to being, would have changed the face of mankind forever.
You would have seen cammy's vertical rising split kick with a front view of the crotch, and known that those lips you were seeing were flesh and blood, engorged and fruitful.
Alas, it was not to be.

>most simplest
Those stories are convoluted as fuck, especially tekken, how dumb are you?

youtube.com/watch?v=iGav4TMW1mI

At their core these fighting games are very simple, you don't have to take every single piece of story into account if you're making a film based on them. If you are going to make a film, then at least have good fight scenes - something the SF film did not have.

I was hoping for some cutscene or something like this looks like it is

why is life so cruel

Your argument was the game has no plot. I'll use small words so you can keep up. I'll only use plot points from sf2. How sagat got his scar, how ken and ryu met and trained, who their master was, why guile and chun li are working together...string that together and you have a story based on some shitty endings in an arcade and a comic book or two. Of course their job is to sell shit you dumb bitch, did you really think that was a smart thing to say? If they were to use all the shit they've made up since sf2, like evil ryu or ken getting brainwashed by Bison...well I think you get the point. Theres a story to be told and they fucked up. You are wrong, please sit down I am done with you

Fuck yeah

I play Street Fighter and don't know any of this fucking shit, have sex

Fighting games are the worst source material for a movie. Stfu

Meant for

You dont do it scene by scene. Of course some of it is gonna be convoluted, they're fucking fighting games not Shakespeare you dumbass. You take the best parts and make it clear for normies while still staying true to real fans of the series.

i remember it being in one scene, right at the end iirc

You probably only play sfv. I have sex when I want to with my chink gf who Im cheating on with some random bar slut white girl. My chink bitch plays 3rd strike with me, she mains Elena

t.spic

>evil ryu, dark ryu, blue ryu, pink ryu, ghost ryu
Yeah, amazing plot details.
Every pallete swap is hugely important to you.
This sentence is unique.
>This sentence is unique.
You see the first sentence was in black text, and lived a long, hard life working as a miner in the foothills of the evil red-text's castle of doom, he swore revenge on the evil master and vowed to train himself to be the strongest text-fighter of them all!
Meanwhile, in another realm, green-text was living an idyllic life, full of mirth, until one day, a band of red-text's marauders destroyed his farm and broke his farming equipment. He spent years studying the ancient art of kwa-ba-la until he felt sure he could exact his revenge. Little did he know that he would soon be heading for: THE ULTIMATE TEXT TOURNAMENT.
Text colours sold separately.

Just wrote a super meaningful and plot-heavy backstory for black, green and red text, will you buy the game and the 405 DLCs? Now they should make a film about it.
In reality though, it was two sentences written on an imageboard.
The games had no story, it was filler. The game was completely detatched from the story, you don't have any explanation of why they were all just fighting each other indiscriminately in every game. The answer is, because there was no reason.
I bet you love the backstory in Pacman too.

Round 1.
FIGHT!

Its not a pallette swap. Its what would happen if Ryu gives in to the Satsui no Hado, like Akuma did. Which is why he killed his brother, Ryu and Kens master. Or so they think. You're wrong and keep bringing in the game itself. We're talking about plot points; you obviously dont know them. Type more I guess but maybe research a bit before making another stupid comment. The Raid 1 and 2 were great action films. They had less plot than SF and just so happen to be some of the best action movies made in the past decade. We want action and fights, plot would be secondary. But if they really wanted to, theres plenty to pick from,. Especially if we're talking about now after so many street fighters have been released. Looking forward to your next stupid ass comment....please, go on

You're literally on this guys level
And thats saying something, he clearly has no idea what he's talking about and I have a feeling he has a folder full of cunny as well

I bought that game for the psx when I was 14. I was totally aware that the game itself was total shit, but I had to get it just so I could jack off to prime Minogue. I still can remember having a raging boner while I was standing in front of the cashier, thumbing around in my wallet. Good times.

Based

Based and just a lil bit redpilled.

You're mentally ill, if you weren't you wouldn't obsess over this insignificant throwaway shit.
WHY is miss pacman's bow pink???? WHY are the ghosts chasing them???? WHAT is the labyrinth made from??? HOW does the teleportation work from edge to edge???
WHO makes the cookies that pacman can eat in order to be able to eat the ghosts???
They could make 7,000 films and 800,000 books based on these amazing and important plot details.
Pacman is the richest cinematic universe that has ever existed.

Watch it in slow-motion, it gives you more time to - finish.

No, I know what Im talking about. And your retort is some stupid shit about Pac man and muh mental illness. Literally acting like a woman. Hate to say but it needs to be said.

Have sex

Finish what?

Here's an experiment for you, go around to people in public carrying a clipboard and try to tell them about why palette swaps are important plot details. Then try telling them that each stormtrooper in the original starwars had a backstory each of his own, and wasn't just a moving prop.
One day you might realise how demented you are. That you constantly repeat the 'have sex' part like a twitter femcel while claiming someone else is exhibiting female behaviour is telling of your own cluelessness. That you've admitted you are a spic, likely from 60% cannibal stock explains some of it, but the rest is your own doing.
"Eeyyy ese, luk at dis sheet mang, no mang, it aint just a fighting game, it got the story mannng, sheeet hombre, ryu got like, ten different stories mang, an he teacher teach heem fireball n sheet."

The video.

You sound hurt sweetie. Move on, you lost. You were dominated, by a spic. Remember that

The internet really does magnify mental illnesses and make their sufferers think they are somehow normal.
You remind me of the trannies that post here, that can't understand why everyone sees them as deranged.
You care about why a video game character's headband is red, and you care so much that you actively defend it as being important. It's pathetic.

And you still care to reply...who really has the mental illness. Sit down user, its over

Says the one who keeps replying.
You don't like your mental illness highlighted, you don't like facing the truth. Perhaps why you base your life around video game trivia.

It feels good to dominate somebody, of course I'll keep replying ;)

Prime Kylie was pretty qt desu

>What went wrong?

Maybe the fact that anyone thought that a simplistic computer fighting game would be an appropriate platform for a feature film - ?

You're sitting there hitting refresh 15 times a minute while sweating with rage.
It shows clearly in the 'sweetie' and the feigned smiley face memes that you use to try to conceal your true emotions. I'm just surprised there hasn't been a 'kid' thrown in too.
I wonder how much time you've spent reading all the shit and nonsense that bubble-gum wrapper tier writers threw in.
Is there a special place you go to discuss this stuff.

>brwaking out the 600 word essays

Lmao go on let it all out

Go on kid tell me more

Based Van Damme

Fucking zoomers. That movie was comfy af.

You are blinded by nostalgia

I'm really not. The movie in itself is a fun 90s campy action flick with Raul fucking Julia. Zoomers can't grasp that type of fun. You need cgi fuckfests with cameos from youtubers.

Its like getting a handjob from a 10/10...but only a hand job. Yeah it was fun but it could've been so much more

> No, You lost your BALLS!

Love it.
