The button mashing equivalent of video game film adaptations, where sometimes they accidentally pull off that sick combo move of cheesy action schlock, but for the most part the movie is just awkward stop and start generic 90's action. Unsurprisingly lacking in the storytelling department, the overstuffed, poorly edited mess is best remembered for tragically being blessed with the brilliant Raul Julia's last big-screen performance. While certainly not a good movie, it has enough to be watchable.

Absolutely awful. Bad plot, terrible action and absolutely awful acting. However, upon recent viewing I did find one golden gem: "For you, the day Bison graced your village was the most important day of your life. But for me... it was Tuesday."

Over the top and horrible though extremely entertaining due mainly to the campy performances. I mean, Kylie Minogue plays a deathly assasin and Raul Julia is the ultimate badass villian. By the way the final shot is totally unexpected and terrible.

This film was financed based on a bet the producer made that he couldn't make a movie based on a video game that is comprised entirely of fighting and make it boring as hell. As this film proves, he won that eleven dollar bet fair and square.

One of the worst, but also extremely funny. It's especially hilarious to see Van Damme attempt to be an American patriot, spouting one-liners with a grin on his face. On a related note, Van Damme is a badass.

Yeesh, this was bad, but somehow not offensively so. They should have just followed the format of Bloodsport, but shoved in the characters from the game. Actually, Bloodsport was almost like that anyway, so just watch that instead. Raul Julia brings his A-game here, which is frankly glorious to behold. Ryu was played by that CDO manager guy from The Big Short, and didn't do a proper hadouken or shoryuken. The cast is interesting, but they couldn't really save this. Blah.

Come on, this is one of the great 'so bad it's good' movies. It seems intentional too. Raul Julia eats the scenery like anti-matter and Kylie Minogue is for whatever reason in this (at one point she yells something I choose to believe is "Your ass - kicked!" after ruining some guy).

Okay, my friends and I must be on a different wavelength than everyone else, because to us, this reads as an intentional action-comedy - and a pretty good one! Like, the first half is a bit muddy, Guile's military nonsense gets tired quick, there's some racially thoughtless parts, and it's *not* a good adaptation of the games, but on its own merits, it's fun, it's funny, and Raul Julia delivers one of the most astounding performances ever committed to cinema. You guys, this is a good movie.

It's virtually impossible to faithfully adapt S.F to film: it's a one-on-one beat 'em up where characters are engaged in adversarial relations with each other. De Souza was left with the uneviable task of trying to fashion a coherent plot from this scenario and the end result is an uneventful mess with flat footed direction that ensures that even the fight scenes lack the requisite punch. The sets are chintzy and the dialogue delivered by an international cast is frequently unintelligible.

The film is pretty poor. However, there are lots of pluses. The costumes are awesome and iconic. Each one looks almost identical to the ones found in the game. The plot is forgettable and pointless. It's not as bad as Super Mario Brothers, but it sure is not great. Raul Julia is awesome in this and is probably the greatest character. But hey, for him? This film was Tuesday.

A shining example of why video games adapted into movies rarely work, this one is particularly egregious because it adapts a source material that had no coherent plot to begin with. The least you can do when your film forgoes a sensible plot is to salvage the aesthetics, but this film fails to even half-assedly recreate the look of its source material. A terrible movie whose only hope for salvation lies strictly in "guilty pleasure" territory for cinemasochists.

Street Fighter is without a doubt quite literally one of the worst films of all time. There's terrible films and then there's films like Street Fighter. Jean Claude Van Damme & Kylie Minogue in a film adaption of a button basher fighting video game. How did this even happen? I can't believe some people describe this film as "it's so bad it's good". It's truly awful and even as a kid I was competely underwhelmed. But on a positive note I'm just relieved that sequels have never materialised.

At the peak of '90s arcade video gaming, Street Fighter II chewed up more pocket money than its rivals combined. When Ryu, Ken, Chun Li and co. predictably made the jump from local pizza parlour to the big screen, teenagers worldwide were left short-changed. Street Fighter's ultra dull story pitted super villain M. Bison, played with pantomime gusto by Raul Julia, against all-American good guy Guile, played straight by heavily-accented Belgian hero JVCD, with unintentionally laughable results.

Still a great guilty pleasure for me. This is another of those films where its gaudiness, combined with the decisions made of how to portray these videogame characters, creates an enjoyable curiosity for me. Yes, it is sad this was the last film by Raul Julia, but considering how much he is clearly enjoying himself and out acting everyone else, things could have been far worse.

I liked that a live action movie based off the game existed, but am seriously disappointed in the results. Anti-climatic Hadoukens, an oh so obvious wired Mbison doing a swoop to emulate a psycho crusher, and Ryu and Ken who couldn't fill their costumes let alone resemble their characters. The only shining points were the DeeJay(who was so bad i laughed) and the Vega who somewhat resembles his character.

Raul Julia is painfully aware of what kind of movie he's in. JCVD is painfully UNaware of what kind of movie he's in. For a movie called Street Fighter, it's surprising how little actual fighting there is in the film. Little-known credits info: William Fraker, cinematographer for Rosemary's Baby, worked on this movie too. Figure that out.

It's stupid, it's boring, it doesn't have anywhere enough action -- or any good action -- and it has a plot ripped straight from the Saturday morning cartoons. Will it please Street Fighter fans? Well, let's just put it this way: Guile is played by a Belgian and does nothing to disguise this fact. That about sums up the laziness and poor decision making that went into creating the Street Fighter movie. This is bad and a waste of time from start to finish. Just go play the game.

I used to despise this movie for its corniness. Watching it now, I don't think it got corny ENOUGH. Van Damme and Bryniarski crack me up throughout, (I wonder if the former realized just how much the film ridicules him.) but just giving Dhalsim and Dee Jay fight scenes alone could have made this a camp classic. As it stands, the stupid humor at least takes the edge off the film's mendacious message: that we should have doubled down in Vietnam.

Dopey actioner is agreeable fun for the first half, until its apparent that the screenplay is an undeveloped idea – the second half’s devolution into a series of flat fight sequences bring it closest to a “faithful” adaptation, but by then most of the energy has left the film. Van-Damme is disengaged, there’s no earthly reason why Minogue should be here; dragged over the "pass" line by Julia, as an entertaining version of Judge Doom, but it’s a shame he didn’t get a better screenplay (RIP).

The script, while mildly fun with its campy one-liners, is too reliant on action, too light on plot and woefully uneven. Special mention, though, does have to go to the late Raul Julia, whose brilliantly tongue-in-cheek, over-the-top performance is responsible for making this at least slightly watchable.

Viewed November 22, 2021. This bizarre video game adaptation gets off to a fun enough start establishing its cartoonish world and its goofy cast of characters, but it never finds a compelling way to tie its ensemble together, doesn’t have enough showcases for the weirdest Street Fighter characters, and also does not have a single good action sequence in it. Worth it, perhaps, to see a fully committed Raul Julia and a blonde-haired, coked-up Jean-Claude Van Damme go toe to toe.

Gen. Bison (Raul Julia), the evil dictator of Shadaloo, captures a busload of relief workers and holds them for ransom. Col. Guile (Jean-Claude Van Damme) leads an international strike force to invade Shadaloo and rescue the hostages. Along the way, Guile recruits Chun-Li (Ming-Na Wen), a reporter and martial-arts expert whose father was killed by Bison years ago, two young con men (Damian Chapa, Byron Mann) and a sumo wrestler (Peter Navy Tuiasosopo).

Street Fighter has a lot going for it. Van Damme's terrible accent. Raúl Juliá hamming it up. The hilarious interpretation of some characters (Honda is Hawaiian?). A flimsy, goofy story. Bisonopolis. Pax Bisonica. And of course, the best line in all of cinema "But for me, it was tuesday". If only it wasted less time on the gunfighting and featured more hilarious lines ("You got paid?!"). Still, definitely worth it, even just to see Juliá elevate a movie more than anyone in the history of film
