Street Fighter (1994) – Movie Review – Kim Justice

#movies #review #streetfighter #documentary

Happy New Year! And welcome to the dawning of a new era…to celebrate, here’s something that hasn’t happened in a while: A MOVIE review! And what a movie it is…it’s Street Fighter – my personal favourite video game movie! Often reviled, certainly rather calamitous but frequently freaking awesome…it’s special – and as is common, this video will go behind the scenes into the genesis, the casting, and all that other shit that went on behind the scenes. What more could you want? For you, the day this video appeared in your Subscriptions feed was the most important day of your life…but for me, it was Tuesday. Enjoy!

STREET FIGHTER (1994) is the property of Capcom and Universal. The movie was directed and written by Steven E. de Souza and stars Jean-Claude Van Damme, Raul Julia, Kylie Minogue, Ming-Na Wen, Byron Mann, Damian Chapa and Simon Callow.

FURTHER READING: There are two sources of great note that very much helped with the creation of this video. The first is the article “Street Fighter The Movie – What Went Wrong” by Chris Plante @ Polygon: http://www.polygon.com/features/2014/3/10/5451014/street-fighter-the-movie-what-went-wrong – a definitive feature article on the creation of the movie.

The second is “Street Fighter The Movie Broke My Heart”, a series of Shoryuken forum posts by Alan Noon, who worked on the Street Fighter: The Movie Game – http://forums.shoryuken.com/discussion/21457/street-fighter-the-movie-broke-my-heart – while the game is not covered in this video, this has invaluable info on the digitising process, and some insight into the actors involved.
