Rating: Summary: whats with the bad reviews?? this movie was good Review: i can't understand why so many people disliked streetfighter but i enjoyed it very much as i love the video games, the comedy fitted in well in the movie and the story was pretty good and not as complex like mortal kombat as well as the action was spot on.
Rating: Summary: THIS WORKED OUT A LOT BETTER IN THE VIDEO GAMES Review: AN ARMY COLONEL [VAN DAMME] MUST TAKE ACTION AGAINST A RUTHLESS DICTATOR [RAUL JULIA] WHO HAS KIDNAPPED INNOCENT PEOPLE AND HELD THEM FOR RANSOM. THIS MOVIE, WHICH IS BASED ON THE VIDEO GAMES OF THE SAME NAME, IS VERY UNEVEN. VAN DAMME ACTUALLY MAKES A GREAT CHOICE FOR THE ROLE OF COL. GUILE. BUT RAUL JULIA LOOKS OUT OF PLACE AS BISON. MUCH OF THE MOVIE IS POINTLESS AND BORING. MOST OF THE ACTION IS CORNY AND MUCH OF THE ACTING IS BAD. I SHOWED A LITTLE MERCY ON THIS MOVIE BECAUSE OF ITS GOOD FINALE. BUT OTHER THAN THAT, THIS WAS ONE CORNY ACTION FLICK. I THINK THIS STUFF WORKED OUT A LOT BETTER IN THE VIDEO GAMES. VAN DAMME AND RAUL JULIA ARE THE SOLE SAVIORS OF THIS MOVIE. THIS WAS RAUL JULIA'S LAST MOVIE. RAUL DIED IN 1995.
Rating: Summary: No. Review: Blanka looks like a Tauntaun on Paxil...only worse.When Ryu uses the Hadou-Ken, you see him do the stance for it, then it just cuts to a flash of light. You never see an actual fire ball. Guile has an accent...for an all-American Air Force pilot. Blanka dies. Blanka is a chicken-wuss in the movie. Seeing Blanka represented by Clay Aiken painted green makes me want to kill myself. Seeing this movie when it was in theaters, made me stop playing the series. Even an algebra special on Public Access is cooler than this. At least with that, there's a plot.
Rating: Summary: STREET FIGHTER - - COLLECTOR'S EDITION Review: Have anybody encounter any problem with this DVD ? All the new generation DVD PLAYER including THE HIGH END MODEL , can't play this title . My old PIONEER PLAYER can only play this title . I recently bought a new copy but the problem still the same . STREET FIGHTER suppose to be a big hit for VAN DAMME but end up being the biggest flop movie . Director STEVEN E.DESOUZA seem have lost his direction . Even the anime is much better than the live action . Why can't they shoot this movie with a serious script , minus the comedy part & made the action scene more reliastic . IS A LIVE ACTION MOVIE , NOT AN ANIME MOVIE .
Rating: Summary: FREAKIN DVD Review: I BOUGHT THE STREET FIGHTER DVD SEVERAL TIMES THIS PAST YEAR AND NOT ONE OF THESE DVDS WORKED. i WAS WONDERING IF ANYONE ELSE HAD THIS PROBLEM WITH THEIR DVD.
Rating: Summary: Hard to mess up...but they did Review: Street Fighter 2 was the ultimate video game at the time of this movies release. The game was simple, you pick a fighter which will challenge other fighters in one on one combat. The game had great characters and simple concept, yet the movie didn't understand that. Instead of hiring great fighters and getting some great fight choreography, they decided to add a "bad guy trying to take over the world concept." Street Fighter video game also had many charcters, and instead of just using maybe 8 of the characters, like Mortal Kombat the movie did, they decided to squeeze as many characters into the movie as they could. Then worst of all, the did not have a single street fight in the movie, other than the Guile (Van Damme) vs. Bison (Julia) fight in the end, which is mostly comical, since Raul Julia looks like he can't even through a punch. BAD MOVIE!!!

Rating: Summary: So bad it's almost funny Review: I gave this movie 1 star only because I couldn't give it none. I mean, when you talk about bad movies, you have to mention all-time classics Nightmare on Elmstreet 6, Jaws 4, and Jurassic Park 3. But this movie creates a whole new category of "bad movies". The acting was so terrible and absurd that at times it was funny. Never-the-less, figuring there might actually be some entertaining combat scenes in this movie, I watched it through. Wrong. No note-worthy combat scenes. You'll find better fighting scenes on the numerous Chuck Norris movies, Jackie Chang movies, Mortal Combat, Highlander, and even Xena Warrior Princess. This is the kind of movie that's so bad that you're embarassed to tell people you've watched it. Let's list its vices: no intelligible plot, other than madman plans for world-domination (yea, they haven't made movies about that before); acting was mediocre at best, terrible at worst; action scenes were boring; fight scenes were boring and ridiculous. So you know how stupid this movie was, there was actually one scene where Captain Crunch (sorry, I can't be bothered to remember the name of the insane evil warlord) pressed big bright red buttons -- that looked like the buttons on a game-console -- to detonate underwater mines. This is a movie where someone should have pulled the plug before it got off the ground. I would be ashamed to have my name attached to this trash. Indeed, it was such a bad movie that I was embarassed to watch it -- and I was all by myself when I watched it. This is the kind of movie where you actually feel like your IQ has been lowered after watching it. Don't waste your money buying the DVD for this junk. Instead, spend that same money buying a copy of a fighting game, like Tekken, or one more recent. You'll have a much better time.
Rating: Summary: Van Dissapointment Review: After Van Damme set sail in Timecop,a box-office smash his career was exactly where it needed to be.I thought only his flicks could get better,but after Streetfighter I thought differently.He should of let Stallone take the job,just like Judge Dredd,Streetfighter is a video game movie type disaster.Van Dammes acting was rusty and his fight scenes looked like special effect errors that needed to be edited.Now with it on DVD the price makes the movie look great,but in reality it's garbage.I personally love Van Dammes hard hitting action flicks,and I ain't putting him down personally but this movie has serious problems and a headache of a storyline.
