A very cheesey action film based on the Street Fighter 2 game. Totally over the top, close to being a comedy, one for fans of the game. Just a pity that such a massive global cult game only has this as a live action movie offering. Very disappointed at the lack of fighting in thi...( read more)
Absolutely terrible action film based on Street Fighter 2 the computer game. 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 hardly the right build for him.
The action and fight sequences are pitiful an...( read more)

So it wasn't true to the storyline of the game, so the acting was cringeworthy, so it was lameness personified - WHO CARES!!!
JCVD as Colonel Guille is a turbo badass, with mad martial arts skills and some AWESOME one-liners (his face also adorned my cupboard door for the majorit...( read more)
Yeah it's hell 90s, which means its hell corny, but it had to be made. It got some cred using Van Damme and it was cool remembering the characters from the game. Kylie was pretty hot kicking ass as well. I laughed my ass off at the end where they strike a pose and the credits com...( read more)
