My favorite part of the movie is when Bison is talking to Sagat, covers one eye and says "I guess you didn't *see* that, did you?" Still cracks me up to this day.
Damn right! I love this movie ever since it came out on VHS, I rented this movie nearly every weekend even the Indian guy in the store already know what a movie I was going to get. At least this movie is way better than Mortal Kombat: Annihilation. Man I miss the good old 1990’s.
I LOVE this flick. I had been chomping at the bit to get to make this video and fully agree as in the movie itself, this video has a lot of tongue and cheek. Thanks for watching! - Juan
As a kid, I watched this movie so many times as a kid, at one point I knew all the lines. That bison's "... To me it was Tuesday" was one of my best lines. I milked that line irl. I still love this movie!
Im sad that you didn't play my favorite clip where Guile is on the catwalk and three goons have their guns on him. He pulls out a knife, and they lay down their guns. Guile gets this cocky smile. "We're here for you sir." Line of AN troops behind him. Smile melts.
I Still Love This Movie Til This Day. I Remember Watching Street Fighter In The Theater And Everyone Enjoyed It. I Dont Understand Y Ppl Hated It. I Knew It Was Comedy Gold. Plus A Bunch Of Action. I Didnt Even Get Most The Jokes But I Laughed Because It Was Self Aware. I Miss Movies Like This
This was a special time for us teenagers and we enjoyed the movie...reading about the movie in magazines to going to see it in theatres was pure bliss...thank you for putting together a great review and please make more 1990s video game inspired movie reviews
Bruuuuh... for the longest I couldn’t put my finger on where I saw Ming-Na Wen before E.R., now I know why: I’m just realizing that she was in Street Fighter... 😂😂
I love this movie so much! I remember as a kid waiting all winter for this movie to come out in the summer. Me and my buddies went to see it a half dozen times that summer.
I’m usually extremely anti-ads. But I’m super glad to have come across this video and the other ones. The host is perfect; he’s like low-key funny and chill. It works. And the content and analysis is spot on. Things you think about as a true fan of the original content you’re timid to say out loud because overly serious critics who grew up too fast are negative about everything. Loved this video and look forward to more. The Jackie Chan one was also very solid.
So many one liners 😂🤣 "You're off the air" when JCVD kicks Bison at the end. JCVD's speech "who wants to go home, and who wants to go with me?!" Also Kylie Minogue is GORGEOUS in this movie lol.
All I know is..... 8 year old me, when I seen this when I had it rented from Blockbuster, I just remember watching it from start to finish and being confused because of it being so far from the storylines. Now i have to go watch it again with a different set of eyes lol
@@deangiampapa4642 if they could put cammy Deejay. T Hawk in the movie., they could have used Fe Long as well. It always baffled me why they didnt use him. Or another street fighter character.
haven't watched this movie since in forever. have the vhs floating around somewhere in a box. might have to dig it out.......if i even still have a vhs player
Anyone notice when Bison is activating the water mines (when Guile is on the speedboat) , he uses an "Arcade" like controller? I think it's a fine easter egg and an homage to the Arcade rooms. :D
I feel like the movie wasn't meant to be that tongue in cheek when they were making it. Now, the cast and crew would be like "Yeah, we meant to do that. ... Really... We did.". For me, my favorite part of Street Fighter was Kylie Minogue.
Agree. It's the wave to try to justify liking poorly made, kitschy media with a bunch a meta mumbo jumbo. Just like what you like. Call it a guilty pleasure if you must, but miss me with all the "it's secretly genius, you guys!" stuff.
To my understanding, the studio wanted to be tongue and cheek. They hired screenwriter Steve E. de Souza, who wrote movies like Beverly Hills Cops, Commando and the first two Die Hard films, not only to write the film, but to direct it as well.
It was an early 90's action comedy. It was okay as far as early 90's, flashy looking, over the top, action comedies went in those days. I agree with the vid, this was never meant to be taken seriously. The sort of opposite side of the coin is Mortal Kombat, who despite Johnny Cage's comedic relief, actually DID invest a ton into its characters, set design, music, and of course the legendary fight scenes. Just a totally different approach that's all, and I enjoy and appreciate each film for what they are, and that's it
My favorite phrase was "Game Over"! I also thinking Raul Julia knew what he was getting into when he signed on to this movie. He made Bison as crazy as fans thought of him in the video games. I have always believed that critics should judge the films, the audiences(fans) who either go or don't go make the movie.Besides this movie made hand over fist money,and rightful so.If any studio decides to make a new Street Fighter movie,I am hoping I can work to edit that movie as a film editor.Would be too awesome!
About the way Blanka looked: The mutation didn't finish. That's why he looks different. 2. He's charlie nash from Alpha. In this movie. Its a way to segue another character into the film.
Your probably right, but it's all in good fun. There's a decent amount of tongue and cheek in there. Also - any excuse to talk about this movie is absolute win in my book! - Juan
The story behind the Super Mario Bros movie is more interesting than the movie itself, I wonder what's the story behind the SF movie (I'm not talking about the actors but how the script was developed until the versión we saw and love [kind of]). Oh BTW! that satire thing is making me watch the movie again. Thanks? I guess.
I still love the scene where Zangeif said quick, change the channel. Raul was a great M Bison and the movie was cheesy yes but still very close to accurate despite a few mistakes with characters. The movie was so bad, it is still very good too.
“For you, the day Bison graced your village was the most important day of your life. But for me, it was Tuesday.”
Fuhk Shet they took that line from Conan the Barbarian, paraphrased of course
One of my all time favorite lines ever.
LOVE THAT LINE!!!! LOL
One of the all-time great lines from cinema delivered with brilliance.
Sorry
Ming Na Wen is still perfectly gorgeous to this day
Just googled her. She is evidently immortal.
My favorite part of the movie is when Bison is talking to Sagat, covers one eye and says "I guess you didn't *see* that, did you?" Still cracks me up to this day.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 that had me dying when I was a kid
LOL that part was hilarious.
Raul Julia.. so UNDERRATED.. MISS YA
Best line in this movie was “ Quick, change the channel “
Lmaooooo
This one of those movies where when it came on TV, no matter what you watch it til thee end!
Dhalsim looked like his character at the end of the film. Just like everyone else. they all got into costume at the end.
This movie’s fantastic, don’t care what anybody says
A guilty pleasure indeed
10000% - Juan
Facts! Was my favorite childhood vhs lol
I love it and the mortal kombat movies
Damn right! I love this movie ever since it came out on VHS, I rented this movie nearly every weekend even the Indian guy in the store already know what a movie I was going to get. At least this movie is way better than Mortal Kombat: Annihilation. Man I miss the good old 1990’s.
Hard to believe that it's been 25 years since Street Fighter: The Movie came out!
Yea, I'm a f*cking old lady now!
My father took me to see this movie as a teen my dad recently passed away so this movie will always hold a place in my heart I miss you pop
My dad left 23 years ago.... I still pretend it doesn't hurt. Glad your father was there and took you to movies.
mark hubbard my condolences. My dad passed away 10 days ago. Enjoy these memories.
As a kid, I loved this movie. It's a fun action comedy.
The lore in the games was just the endings. So I understood some liberties had to be made.
True that some liberties are to be expected, but it is unforgivable that at no point in the movie did Zangief danced with Gorbachov :P
Thank you. This movie is a classic. Raul Julia is great in this. Tongue firmly planted in cheek.
I LOVE this flick. I had been chomping at the bit to get to make this video and fully agree as in the movie itself, this video has a lot of tongue and cheek. Thanks for watching! - Juan
“You got paid?”
Zangief had some great lines.
I’m 90% sure that it inspires the line “you guys are getting paid?” From we’re the millers
@@justsomeguy5390 Imagine us having the internet and memes in the 90s with all the of 80s and 90s cheezy dialogue.
I actually loved the movie, and Van Dam was AWSOME!
A.B. Same 👍 😀
As a kid, I watched this movie so many times as a kid, at one point I knew all the lines.
That bison's "... To me it was Tuesday" was one of my best lines. I milked that line irl.
I still love this movie!
Im sad that you didn't play my favorite clip where Guile is on the catwalk and three goons have their guns on him.
He pulls out a knife, and they lay down their guns.
Guile gets this cocky smile.
"We're here for you sir."
Line of AN troops behind him.
Smile melts.
"What do you do when a bison trooper throws a grenade at you? You pick it up and throw it back!"
Some of the greatest hammiest performances are in this movie, AND IT IS GREAT!
You're right, this is the best spoof ever
"Change the channel!" is now a well known quote always mentioned when this movie is referenced.
It was hilarious as well🤣
I love dumb comment lines in movies and shows, and this one is one of my favorites.
jbod 6887 it’s always funny
8:08 I remember when he said that in the movie theater!
The place erupted in laughter!
The loudest pop of the night!
That movie was good tf it was the 90's
I don't care what anybody says. This movie was amazing
So true
I loved the movie toyline by Hasbro from the 90's.
Low key one of my fav movies lol o used to watch it all the time when I was a kid.
I Still Love This Movie Til This Day. I Remember Watching Street Fighter In The Theater And Everyone Enjoyed It. I Dont Understand Y Ppl Hated It. I Knew It Was Comedy Gold. Plus A Bunch Of Action. I Didnt Even Get Most The Jokes But I Laughed Because It Was Self Aware. I Miss Movies Like This

One of my favorite childhood movies f*^k the over critical critics.
Bruuuuh... for the longest I couldn’t put my finger on where I saw Ming-Na Wen before E.R., now I know why: I’m just realizing that she was in Street Fighter... 😂😂
U can catch her in a movie called "One Night Stand" she has a nude love scene w/ Wesley Snipes believe it or not'/!!!
Puts this movie in a different perspective. Makes me want to see it again.
I agree 100%
I love this movie so much! I remember as a kid waiting all winter for this movie to come out in the summer. Me and my buddies went to see it a half dozen times that summer.
To me this film is better then “Then legend of Hun Li”.
It is. Legend of chun li sucked. Should've made a movie about ken and ryu.
There was nothing memorable about Legend of Chun Li at all. This is a billion times better than that.
Mortal Kombat (the first one) was better.
Marc Araujo my favorite part will always be Shang Tsung in the beginning saying “Your soul is mine!”
Those were $500 sunglasses asshole
Agreed.. It's funny how it seemed R Rated? But it wasn't. That's how good that movie is.
I’m usually extremely anti-ads. But I’m super glad to have come across this video and the other ones. The host is perfect; he’s like low-key funny and chill. It works.

Things you think about as a true fan of the original content you’re timid to say out loud because overly serious critics who grew up too fast are negative about everything. Loved this video and look forward to more. The Jackie Chan one was also very solid.
You forgot to mention the brilliantly faithful "Street Fighter: Assassin's Fist."
So many one liners 😂🤣 "You're off the air" when JCVD kicks Bison at the end. JCVD's speech "who wants to go home, and who wants to go with me?!" Also Kylie Minogue is GORGEOUS in this movie lol.
Capcom get paid whenever the movie comes on TV they said this movie maybe cheesy but nobody can't deny watching it when they see it on television.
Well, another Bison line to Sagat around the end of the movie about the Ken and Dragon (Ryu) double cross, was just as cold to the seeing impaired.
"Quick change the channel" my favorite line ever
All I know is..... 8 year old me, when I seen this when I had it rented from Blockbuster, I just remember watching it from start to finish and being confused because of it being so far from the storylines. Now i have to go watch it again with a different set of eyes lol
I loved this movie.
My question is why didnt they use Sawattas character as Fe long?
So disappointed he wasn't in this or mentioned
Because by the time he said his name, the movie would be over.
I always said the same thing. Never understood that and was bummed they didn’t put him in the movie
@@deangiampapa4642 if they could put cammy Deejay. T Hawk in the movie., they could have used Fe Long as well. It always baffled me why they didnt use him. Or another street fighter character.
A lot of this sounds like fan theory/ commentary, there some of us who wanted this to taken this a little more seriously
This old SF Movie is the combination of G.I. Joe,Star Wars,James Bond
Great movie and a part of my childhood. :)
Good movie. Thanks for the memories.
"Raúl Julia was great"!. The problem was the direction and the story of the film. At least is better compared to Dragon Ball Evolution.
Ivanni Garcia 😂😂😂😂
The problem is you missed the whole point of this video and the point of the video has no problem it's the perfect video game adaptation
Way more tolerable than Legend of Chun Li.
Heart surgery is better than Dragon Ball Evolution, LOL!
The movie we don't dare name.
Van Damme needs to make a sequel . Street Fighter 2020!
I'm gonna revisit this, right behind MK Annihilation
Love this movie and the Chun-Li story arc
Raul Julia was one of the greatest actors of all time.
It was my adulthood when I found out Miklo was Ken
With Interest
haven't watched this movie since in forever. have the vhs floating around somewhere in a box. might have to dig it out.......if i even still have a vhs player
U can probably find a VHS player at a thrift store for 5 bucks. Probably a dual DVD/VHS📀📼player for 10 or 15 bucks'/!!!
He was high in Street Fighter lol
Where did u get that guile shirt??
A lot of this was filmed in Brisbane, Australia - my cousin got a gig as one of Bison's Henchmen.
Anyone notice when Bison is activating the water mines (when Guile is on the speedboat) , he uses an "Arcade" like controller? I think it's a fine easter egg and an homage to the Arcade rooms. :D
Forgot to mention the awesome action figures from Hasbro. G.I. Joe style!
"Things you didn't know about SF", 2 minutes of facts, 16 minutes of "this is a comedy guys, seriously, believe me"
Mann that stock laugh was hilarious 😂😂😂😂😂
The movie makes so much more sense now.
Just bought it on bluray off of Amazon three days ago!
M. Bisons glowing shoes are dope! That's a fact
This is a classic....It was a Tuesday.
Ha ha, that line cemented Bison as one of my fav villains. This movie was so much fun
I feel like the movie wasn't meant to be that tongue in cheek when they were making it. Now, the cast and crew would be like "Yeah, we meant to do that. ... Really... We did.".
For me, my favorite part of Street Fighter was Kylie Minogue.

Hey, u forgot the arcade reference with the controls on Bison's flying thingy lol
VERY DOPE VIDEO!!!
It is so true, there were a lot of bad film adaptations for video games in the 90s and we were just happy to have anything. The 90's in general.
It will be a miracle if they reboot this movie
It was an early 90's action comedy. It was okay as far as early 90's, flashy looking, over the top, action comedies went in those days. I agree with the vid, this was never meant to be taken seriously. The sort of opposite side of the coin is Mortal Kombat, who despite Johnny Cage's comedic relief, actually DID invest a ton into its characters, set design, music, and of course the legendary fight scenes. Just a totally different approach that's all, and I enjoy and appreciate each film for what they are, and that's it
love this movie you just got a new sub
It's the best movie I've ever seen
Zangief is my favorite character in the movie. The line "quick change the channel killed me.
It was the 90s. As a kid I loved this film. Don't give a dam about critic's! Rual & Van Dan Rocked! 😎
Graeme Revell's score for _Streetfighter_ is AWESOME. Listening to it makes you think of a different, better movie.
I feel this is a safe space to admit I like “Judge Dredd” and “Demolition Man”.
"Quick, CHANGE THE CHANNEL"! LOL
This video has literally been done 20 times on TH-cam and with a host who can read a script without sounding like it.
Thanks for watching! I'm trying my best out there! -Juan
Look at the young Ming-Na Wen alias Malinda May from Agents of SHIELD! Oh my gosh!
She barely aged
trustobey1016 they say black don’t crack, i say asian don’t age either!
Those video game movies were ahead of it's time
I agree, I guess because I'm a boomer this movie and all other VG movies are classics to me. I always laugh at the movie 😛😀
Kylie Minogue and Ming-Na Wen were worth it. Plus I used movie theater gift cards to see it
My favorite phrase was "Game Over"! I also thinking Raul Julia knew what he was getting into when he signed on to this movie. He made Bison as crazy as fans thought of him in the video games. I have always believed that critics should judge the films, the audiences(fans) who either go or don't go make the movie.Besides this movie made hand over fist money,and rightful so.If any studio decides to make a new Street Fighter movie,I am hoping I can work to edit that movie as a film editor.Would be too awesome!
Still better than syfy original movies
80% of the movie should've been focused on the drudgery of being a villain. It's time for a super villain movie that tells it like it is.
You mean, "Joker"?
@@tonyjunior-thefirstgentlem410 Read "Empire" by Mark Waid or "Bob, Agent of Hydra."
Actually Sawada was supposed to be Fei Long, but the director thought the character was "too generic"
The Bison painting is also a copy of the Napoleon painting. A classic movie! Finally the truth is told.
I loved this movie
I miss Raul Julia. He is right up there with Tim Curry. Love it
When you were taking about signature moves ryu did the dragon kick and ken did the shoyuken too
I think it’s also the best movie for the United Nations ever made.
About the way Blanka looked: The mutation didn't finish. That's why he looks different. 2. He's charlie nash from Alpha. In this movie. Its a way to segue another character into the film.
Forgot to mention That Raul Julia only took the role of Bison because his sons are huge fans of the game.. the movie is gift to his sons.
Street fighter is history
Dude is reading wayyyyy too much into this movie
Jordan Daniels that’s literally how he feels about you guys.
Your probably right, but it's all in good fun. There's a decent amount of tongue and cheek in there. Also - any excuse to talk about this movie is absolute win in my book! - Juan
16:40 what i remember from this movie is Chung Li when she fought Vega in her underwear, it was well animated.
I don't know his name but his face rings a bell
Raul Julia did an amazing job in this movie.
Talking about Street Fighter please do Jackie Chan's City Hunter.
The story behind the Super Mario Bros movie is more interesting than the movie itself, I wonder what's the story behind the SF movie (I'm not talking about the actors but how the script was developed until the versión we saw and love [kind of]).
Oh BTW! that satire thing is making me watch the movie again. Thanks? I guess.
Although Van Damme was a diva in this movie I think he redeemed himself in his own version of Street Fighter years later in The quest.
they were fun movies. you cant take this
$$$$ $eriou$ly
I still love the scene where Zangeif said quick, change the channel. Raul was a great M Bison and the movie was cheesy yes but still very close to accurate despite a few mistakes with characters. The movie was so bad, it is still very good too.
it was based on a true story
