MCT:September 21, 2008Yeeees JCVD, kick all their asses.
I really want to see it again. I learnt some times ago that Kylie Minogue plaed in it. I didn't know her last time I saw the mov', and didn't know she played in a mov'.
Good adapt! -
MCT:August 24, 2008I really did not like this movie. I'm sorry for Raul Julia and Jean-Claude Van Damme, but they were bad choices for thier parts. The story was stupid and the actors choses were terrible.

One of the greatest games ever to be developed that defined a new genre of video games and revived the arcades in the 90s. Yet this is the thanks this franchise gets when it finally goes up on the big screen....
What would you expect though when you have Van Damme as the lead (which his character really isn't supposed to be the lead), Kylie Minogue having a role in a film, and Z rated actors that nobody has even heard of just for the shits and giggles.
The director who also wrote the script himself should be ashamed of this going under his CV. -
MCT:July 22, 2008One of the main reasons I gave this movie a middle score is because I'm a gamer, who watched many Van-Damme films when young. Also, I'm puertorrican, and did love how Raśl Julia played M.Bison even though he was really sick and this turned out to be his last movie.

Ok, it makes sense now why all videogame movies suck so much. Hollywood is secretely trying to ruin the vg industry by making people not care at all about games, thinking they are as shitty as the movies based on them. And Uwe Boll is their best secret agent on service.

Raul Julia's last film role...and goes out with a bang quite literally, as everything the classic arcade game stood for is shoved up the franchise's ass and turned Hollywood. Let me explain something...it's a video game about fighting. That's it. People beat the hell out of each other and face Bison at the end. Forget about adding a plot to it beyond what each individual character's basic story is. It's about a martial arts tournament. Mr. Julia...the extra full star I added is for a wonderful performance in an otherwise extremely lackluster film.

MCT:June 9, 2008absolutely terrible action film based on street fighter 2.van damme looks good but acts badly and the rest of the cast are just awful...raul julia saves alittle grace as bison but he's hardley the right build for him.
the action and fight sequences are pitiful and the sets look like sets.very very bad film which could have been good with the right people and adult background. -
MCT:June 8, 2008
this moive suckd. the characters had nothing to do with the game and they looked nothing like each other it was stupid. silly but stupid... lol jeanclaudevandamme lol
-
MCT:June 2, 2008Van Damm is a damm terrible actor, and this movie is just another example of Hollywood slapping a whole bunch of mismatched elements together and expecting a good game transfer. Horrendous failure.

"If good men do nothing, that is evil enough."
Street Fighter is a woeful film adaptation of the popular Capcom arcade game. I'm sure there are many fans (or nerds, more precisely) who expected very good results...but what was released was far from good.
I don't think words can describe what a complete and spectacular disaster this film turned out to be.
First and foremost...the plot was utterly useless. It was an even worse excuse for Van Damme to execute fight moves that look incredibly fake and downright stupid!
And why was the film so tame?! Whose idea was it to water down all the violence?! As a result the film feels tremendously bad, tame, childish and corny beyond belief! And then of course the script...was dismal. Attempts at humour made the already painful experience exceedingly worse. And I didn't know it was possible for this film to be any worse.
The one-liners made me gasp in embarrassment. And of course the wooden Belgian made the lines sound even worse. But what made Van Damme worse than ever is the tame violence and the horrible script. Some of his movies were pathetically entertaining because they showcased awesome action...but the fight scenes didn't even look impressive. Instead they're underwhelming and childish.
And you just need to see Kylie Minogue in the cast to further cement our every fear. Her lines sounded so contrived and unnatural. There is not enough room to criticise all things that are wrong with this movie.
The poor excuse for a plot basically follows Colonel William F. Guile (Van Damme) who is in the middle of a war against some evil dictator who couldn't look sinister even if he's pitted against Kermit the Frog! Guile and his team of soldiers (including many who are scaringly good at martial arts for grunts) must go and free some hostages who are being held for ransom.
Many have looked upon Street Fighter as the worst movie ever made. This title sounds rather accurate. The entire film is childish, embarrassingly corny and even extremely boring. Why couldn't the character kill the screenwriters instead?!?! -
A GNT News Reporter Chun-Li Xiang (Ming-Na Wen) finds out that William F. Guile (Jean Claude Van Damme) is alive with help of her partners, Sumo wrestler E. Honda (Peter Navy Tuiasosopo) and professional boxer Balrog Douglas (Grand L. Bush).

What can I say? Cheesy entertainment. It does feature Raul Julia, which may be why I like this film.

Almost made me not want to play Street Fighter II Turbo, thankfully I shat on the movie before it was too late.

MCT:February 28, 2008
Oh, Street Fighter... how do I hate thee? Let me count the ways:
1. The dad from Addams Family is Bison.
2. E. Honda is a Samoan from Hawai`i, his friend is Balrog, and they work at a news station with Chun-Li.
3. Jean-Claude "Double Team" Van Damme, the Muscles from Brussels, is all-American Guile.
4. Ken and Ryu-- I mean, Wryoo-- are con men, and are more like leads in a buddy cop flick than serious warriors.
5. Wes Studi is Sagat.
6. DOCTOR Dhalsim has hair and doesn't stretch OR blow fire OR teleport.
7. "Well, I'm the repo man... and you're out of business."
8. Kenya Sawada sounds like he's reading from a card.
9. The special movies are half-assed and are awkwardly mixed in with the rest of the shitty fighting.
10. Every time they show Honda, you hear a Hawaiian steel guitar in the background.
11. Carlos Charlie Blanka looks like Lou Ferrigno Hulk with cotton candy hair. His muscle mass is supposed to be increased by 92%, but he miraculously remains the same size.
12. Most of the characters somehow end up in their video game outfits, in a lame and corny fashion. Honda actually ends up with blood on his face in the formation of the E. Honda's face paint. See, if they had stayed true to the game in the FIRST place...
13. "This is the collection agency, Bison. Your ass is six months overdue... and it's mine."
14. Bison has a hovering pod not unlike the one Bowser uses in Super Mario World, and he operates it with a Street Fighter coin-op joystick.
15. Guile and Bison crappily exchange their trademark quotes before an astoundingly anti-climactic fight.
16. The victory poses at the end... ugh.
This movie is doo-doo all the way. There were a couple good lines of dialogue, which is a couple more than Blood of the Samurai has. There were also one or two humorous scenes (Guile holding the little knife). And Kylie Minogue as Cammy was decent at best. But is that any consolation for shit acting, shit casting, shit special effects, and a shit story in a piece of shit film that shits on my childhood arcade obsession? No. -

This entertaining action-fu adventure, based on the popular video game, is wired for grins as well as drop-kicks and shoot-outs. Jean-Claude Van Damme is a perfect choice as Guile, a cynical Allied Nation commando leader and for Raul Julia (his latest motion picture before his death) as his arch-enemy, Bison.

The game is great i mean Street Fight 2 Series only. The movie is bad and seems to focus on Guile as the main character Jean-Claude Van Damme plays the part and does not play it good. One thing is i cannot stand Guile and Van Damme did not have the big hair style as the Guile did.
Blanker did not feature much and even he was rubbish. Their should of been more of Chun-Li and Ryu as they are the best but not in the movie. If you ask me the acting just sucks big time and its not worth wasting your time on this watch the Manga versions there a whole lot better.
This movie is pathetic and should of never been made. -

It has been YEARS since I've seen this, and all I remember is that I loved Vega in it, and just wnated the movie to focus around him.
-
My brother and I were so excited about this one back in 1995 but even "Mario Bros." made us happy compared to this! I remember thinking it was one of the biggest disappointments of my life. Poor Kylie Minogue... poor girl... Cammy is way hotter than her! LOL... really!
-
MCT:October 28, 2007I worship Vega! Jay Tavare plays a sexy fighter villain Vega fabulously! Jean C.V. Damme isn't so bad as the captain and a good fighter as usual. I was entertained until the end.
-
MCT:October 27, 2007
Oh dear. Still, worth watching for Raul Julia's performance as General Bison - Oh, and of course, Van Damme's rousing speech to his troops.
