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."

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.

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.

I did really like the concept of "Bison-bucks." Dude was so megalomaniacal that he created his own world currency and tried to pay people off with it. That's funny!

Writer: Sonic Boom followed by Flash-kick to the head, Casting: Hundred-hand slap, Director: Spinning Piledriver into concrete slab, Actors: Be forced to watch this movie.

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.

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.

"For I beheld SATAN as he FEELLLLL from HEAVEN... like LIIIIIIGHHHTNING!!!!!!"

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.

Raul Julia's performance is a hoot, but the film absolutely falls flat. Cheesy, bad acting and has a terrible script. Yet another bad video game movie, but it's so bad it's good.
2	Kojiless	14 _14th
You know it's a fantasy movie when Japan has that much clout in the UN. Captain Sawada, my ass.
2	johnshaft	20 _1st
This movie is stupid and over the top but funny because of it, thus resulting in one of the most enjoyable terrible movies I have seen.
2	overrated	65 _70th
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).

Van Damme's worst movie ever. That being said, I still love Van Damme. He'd be the only reason I'd ever watch this movie again.
1	TripleSH	10 _5th
Way to ruin my last memories of Raul Julia, and make me never want to play this game again.
1	BBBD	1 _0th
Even worse than "Napoleon Dynamite."
1	Edfushious	42 _14th
This movie is sooooooooo bad... it's awesomely good. It has bad acting, a bad plot, and a very bad Van Damme. How he pass as an American in any of his movies is beyond me. An excellent movie for a cheesy movie night.
1	PirateJason	30 _0th
Horrible: acting, directing, story, effects... I could go on all day. This is the lowest rated movie on my list.

Better off playing the game.
1	HalfJapanese	5 _0th
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.
1	Difontaine	9 _0th
Utter balls. Kylie Minogue has many (?) talents but head of intelligence ain't one. Or acting. She is still ahead of the curve than Van Brussel Sprout. A real pity that this was Raul Julia's last film. Also has the slappable one who was on ER a while back.
1	TedDedon	25 _7th
What a terrible movie. Although sometimes it's funny to watch Van Damme try to be a badass.
1	Anomaly	23 _5th
Terrible, disorganized, and all over the place, but hilariously cheesy and ridiculous. Raul Julia hamming it up is probably the funniest part, with the "But for me, it was Tuesday" line as a definite highlight.
1	Mentaculus	24 _6th
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.
1	GreenBud	94 _82nd
hilariously funny xD You got....paid ?

Dear God, who thought this was a good idea? Sadly, Raul Julia's last movie...
1	Slow Riot	30 _7th
hello kylie minogue
1	IHateMovies	20 _4th
A piece of utter crap that simply cannot be watched without enjoyment. Raul Julia is absolutely brilliant, and you can tell that JCVD loved making this.

Is this supposed to be a joke? Because I'm not laughing!
1	letskillrobots	0 _1st
They're fighting but they're not in the streets... Hmmm...
1	Hatman101	40 _5th
Raul Julia makes this movie almost watchable.
1	AzurEclipse	10 _38th
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.
1	Coheed	80 _78th
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.
1	misterlizard	10 _12th
The reason drinking games were invented.
1	Ununnilium	67 _52nd
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.
1	ZachReviews	40 _16th
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.
1	LookJabba...	1 _2nd
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.

Only kept in second by the room. The cheesy awesomeness of this movie emnates in every scene. With beautifully crafted camp, this horrible movie, instantly becomes entertaining. Everything from Raul Julia to the terrible handling of E Honda will make you laugh. This is the epitome of so bad its good.
1	Yiannos	28 _1st
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.
1	KARANT	24 _3rd
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.
