Rating: Summary: AWSOME My All time favoit movie Review: I orginally brought it on VHS in 96 and it was good but it had left out storylines and it had hole burns on the side just like in a movie theatere. But anyway this is a 97 percent action movie. The DVD featur includes some deleted scens that involve more of the Street Fighter II Turbo game. It will ALWAYS be my all time movie it will be yours to if you liked the video game of Street Fighter

Rating: Summary: They released a collector's edition for THIS?! Review: I actually watched this movie three times to absorb its true inner badness, and I found that the film is truly horrible on more levels than you could possibly imagine. The acting is deplorable, to be sure. The only one who's even putting forth any real effort is Raul Julia, who was WAY too wonderful an actor to have been tricked into making this abomination. Of course, Van-Damme is about as believable and emotive an actor as Carrot Top, so you should know what to expect. As for the rest of the cast, well, let's just say that the actor's didn't do their own matrial arts; the martial artists did their own acting. (I know that's an MST3K rip-off, but that's exactly where this movie belongs, really). The plot is pretty much a bunch of random scenes put in a blender. We go from one unbelievable situation to another, into territories that neither make sense nor entertain. It amazes me that for all the impressive gadgetry and special effects, this is still no more intelligent or enlightening than the "Guess what? I'm a man!" episodes of the Jerry Springer show. If you love the video games and are truly curious about the movie, skip it anyway. Trust me. I've seen this movie three times for you people. Along with binge-drinking,coke-snorting, and violent car crashes without seatbelts, this is one of the most brain-damaging experiences one can undertake. Next time anyone asks if you want to try this movie, JUST SAY NO!

Rating: Summary: You lose. Perfect. Review: A masterpiece of trash. Based on the epic Capcom video game series, the creators of this movie managed to take a relatively simple plot involving some super talented street brawlers, and twist it all around to a sort of American propoganda war-in-the-gulf-genetic-engineering-gone-wrong-personnal-vendetta mishmash that stinks so utterly bad its almost worth seeing on its merit of being THAT terrible a film. Hideous casting direction, the people playing the animated characters are an incredibly cheap looking bunch, and often have little or nothing in common with the personalities on which they are based. Van Damme (with a Brussles accent) plays all American patriot Guille, with the late Raul Julia's (Raul Julia for pete's sake!) unfortunately final performance as an obscenely mis-casted M. Bison topping off the bad guy role. Some high points include a flabby looking Blanka played by some guy who watched too many incredible hulk reruns, and American karate man Ken Masters .... The video game was never meant to be made into a film, (a japanese animated movie also failed to translate this non-existant plot into a film) and its release was a signal all over that Capcom had stretched their Street Fighter 2 empire too thin. There is a nice Sadat X song on the soundtrack, and thats about the only good that came out of this mistake.
Rating: Summary: Street Fighter Rocks Review: I though this was an excellent movie! I love street fighter and even though it was cheesy that makes it even Better. If you look past the effects this movie is really cool.
Rating: Summary: Not that bad... okay, I guess it is. Review: Right off the bat: you shouldn't review this movie entirely upon it's unfaithfulness to games, of which I am a fan. Not only is that unprofessional, but it's almost unfair, considering not much of the "Street Fighter" storyline had been established. Even so, it's not very good, but still not as bad as many have said. The acting is poor, for the most part. Ming-Na Wen(Chun-Li) and the late Raul Julia(M. Bison)play their roles well, but most of the other performances are poor. In fact, it seems like the producer sent his agents out to find brawlers, porn stars and martial artists just to save a few bucks. That may sound like a joke, but it's not. The story isn't very good either. We basically have a cheesy modern-age World War 2 that takes place in "Shadoloo City". This, obviously, isn't a a movie that you should think about while watching, though that may be tough. Looking back at my review, I realize this movie is as bad as many have said. I stand corrected for saying earlier that this movie isn't that bad. I still have a VHS copy of this movie, but only because I'm a fan of the video games. for an actual(although not excellent)SF movie buy "Street Fighter 2: The Animated movie". I was going to give this 2 stars, but now I think I'll give it 1. Still, It's not unwatchable, like the movie "Super Mario Bros." was before it. I gave that movie 1 star as well, and complained about not being to go lower. Ah, hell, I think I will give this 2 stars. Yes, that seems fitting.
Rating: Summary: It`s a shame this had to be Raul Julia`s last film Review: Van Damme should of fired his agent for letting him star in this unmemorable action film based on a video game. Van Damme plays a big macho man commando with his high tech army tries to stop a viscious warlord from killing hostges for a $20 millon dollor ransom. Raul Julia who was diagnosed with some sort of cancer was clearly noticable he wasn`t up to the task as usually is and probbaly did this film for the sheer thrill of it. A waste of the man`s acting talent. As for van damme this type of garbage is right up his ally, big special effects, corny villans, stupid one liners and an idiotc storyline that is barely cohenrent. One of the worst films i`ve have seen that is based on a video game. But then again what kind of decent story can someone get out of a video game?
Rating: Summary: Complete disappointment Review: This movie really sucked! If you saw Mortal Kombat the movie and then saw Street Fighter you would know what I am talking about. First of all the special effects were cheap. There was a part when Chun Li pulled a knife on Ken. You could see the knife bend! The fight scenes could have been choreographed much better. I have to say i was also disappointed with the story line and dialogue. The characters had no depth and were cheesy. Bison was played by this skinny old guy. Gee was it hard to figure out who would win? The heavily muscled Guile or the sickly looking Bison? If your really looking for spectacular fight scenes and a story line true to the game i suggest checking Street Fighter II: The animated movie.
