Street Fighter - Shitcase Cinema review

[corza008]

I have alot of respect for Raul Julia, great actor especialy as gomez R.I.P bud. He probly thought "Ahh what the hell, crap script but ill do it for the sake of it"

[GeneralRevan54]

This movie made me quit Street Fighter for a long time.

[MegaBeamish]

Actually if you do look closely during the fight between Ryu and Sagat there is briefly a fireball but there's no explanation as to why he can do this.

[RobRobertTheMovieGuy]

i like me some Kylie Minogue!!!

[RyunosukeHachi]

This movie was funny as hell. Me and my friends always laugh at

Zangief's "QUICK! CHANGE THE CHANNEL!"

And there's always Bison's "But for me, it was Tuesday."

Not to mention all of the the irony.

All-in-all, this movie wasn't actually bad. As for as I'm concerned, Street Fighter Legend of Chun Li doesn't exist. Ironically, there was supposed to be a sequel with all the original actors from the first one, but development hell of Street Fighter the Movie II ran them off. Shame.

[BrianLG100]

@RyunosukeHachi they were ran off cause they thought the chun li movie was gonna be better, they were totally false!

[morebeerful]

i thought it was pretty good

[nicholasmorine]

Just had to point out -- Ryu does a really lame hadoken for sure in the film.

[MrThommyL]

Why is Sagat a bad guy here and Balrog a bad guy ??

[nondjmaster]

Of course!!!!

[blubablubahumbug]

idk how but i actually like this movie and have watched it several times, this is somehow what led me to my fandom of JCVD

[Xerxes1688]

Nah, this wasn't as bad as Mortal Kombat: Anihilation or the american cartoon of Street Fighter.

[RyunosukeHachi]

@Xerxes1688 The American cartoon had its good points, like the M. Bison "YES! YES!" and his dialogue with Chun-Li: "I killed my father, and you don't hear me complaining about it"

[cradleofdeath123]

only good street fighter fight wasnt even in the film..... it was in city hunter

[MPT1983]

6.59 the closest this film came to being anything like street fighter,to bad its in the dying seconds.

[MPT1983]

Cant believe that with the enormous amount of popularity SF had back then a proper movie wasnt made,what was this seriously,it was like a very bad 80s action flick.Fuck it forget this movie,I just pretend that Van Dams movie The Quest is SF,it comes alot closer to the game than this crap.

[XSC3]

shitcase cinema: 11 out of 10

[LoveStallion]

"And Satan fell from heaven... LIKE LIGHTNIIIIIIIIIING!!!!!"

[BrianLG100]

You should've added in this when Zangief said Quick change the channel.

[pretorious700]

Why do people think Raul Julia was a decent actor? He's been in some of the worst shit.

[ExNausea]

4/10? For real? Honestly? Great review though, where you from north of england?

[tkhushrenada]

Street Shite-r

ammirite?

[hobocamptheater]

speaking of so bad it's good with bad acting that's amazingly funny, I want camp blood because of it's retarded acting.

Although this makes me want to puke and I refuse to buy it even if I find it for a penny.

so in all you've inspired me to try and find some really bad movies and some really good ones but you've also helped me pick out some movies to my "never watch unless I"m getting payed to" list.

thanks (mate)

[BenK8319]

Silent Night Deadly Night 2 would be a truly fantastic review if you did it. "GARBAGE DAY!" XD

[OlyJeebus]

Have you seen Machete ?

You should do a review on that when it comes out..

Not thats it shit in any way though.

[NasalFloss]

You get a 'thrust kick' from Kylie

[harlequin75]

Now, this movie was and forever will be shit! What a let down. When I saw it in the theatre, I could've sworn I saw Guile throw a grenade and yell "sonic boom". My friend saw the same scene so I know I wasn't seeing or hearing things. Sonic Boom = Grenade??? Now that is shit!

[ilikemartialarts]

this movie shouldnt even have the name street fighter

[YouKnowItzTTime81]

i think the movie stayed true to its source material,the 1st game actually sucked and so did the movie just a bit less.

[k0rps3gynd3r]

i went to see this when it first came out in theaters, there was gobs of people there, waited in line forever. the movie started......ten minutes in everyone was like WTF.......... 40 min. in, half of the theater had left. i stayed out of morbid curiosity.

[Cassavius]

Mmmmh...Kylie...8D

[IggyHazard]

0:32 Slim Shady! X-P

Did you ever play the original 'Street Fighter' on TG-16?

Note: I still think "REYE-oo" sounds better than "REE-oo."

[sergiovictoir]

ginger guile ha ha 

[welshfilmbuff]

1:13 That's a very fetching picture of Kylie, there ; she even looks like her game character, unlike in the film.

That title card at the end puts things into too much fucking perspective!

[SFNDMK]

you think this film bad wait til you see legend of chun li

[fazinazin33]

i know. i luckily borrowed it from a friend so i wouldnt have to waste any money. i couldnt believe how awful it was. like i literally wanted to hadouken my tv and my friend.

[SakuraAvalonBleac25]

@SFNDMK

yeah that movie was BAD

The anime movie was okay, better then the live movie.. though anythin is better then that piece of crap

[Nockyout]

Me and my sister saw this movie and we're like WTF terrible, that's we like the game and the Anime series this movie is crap.

[hurricane2142]

4 out of 10?????? lol

[leptonsoup337]

@hurricane2142 That's generous!

[IggyHazard]

Technical Gripe: When the US flag is depicted on the right shoulder (or the right side of a helmet or anything on the right side), whether as a patch on a uniform or a tato0 on flesh, the Union (the blue area) should face forward to represent "no surrender."

[alcibiade666]

Sonic BOOOM!!!!

[TheDavynator0]

some more suggestions.

Catwoman,

Waterworld,

The Postman ,

The Conqueror,

Plan 9 from Outer Space,

Cannibal Women in the Avocado Jungle of Death,

or anything with triffids in.

[cnoosh]

I seriously would love to see you do a review of the Bloodrayne movie, that is supposed to be utter shit and even the actors who were in it say so. XD

[shitcasecinema]

I will add Bloodrayne to the list of future reviews :) I've heard it's utter shit myself and I can believe it.

[cksmith08]

Bloodrayne will be perfect and any Video Game movie directed by Evil Bowl (another name for Ewe Boll)

[shitcasecinema]

Bloodrayne was reviewed about a month ago :)

[cksmith08]

I'll have to check it out soon. I know that Alone in the Dark and Bloodrayne 2 sounded like loads of Horse crap too.

[shitcasecinema]

I've heard bad things about both films mate, although I've not plucked up the courage to watch them as of yet :) Cheers!

[NasalFloss]

@cksmith08 Alone in the dark is just plain boring, don't bother. Got it for 50p. What does that say?

[CRITTERBUSTERS]

At 5.18 you said Mortal Kombat had no Special Moves what are you talking about? In Mortal Kombat you see pretty much everyone do their special moves with the exception of mabey Sonya and Johnny Cage.

[gabboep1995]

Street Fighter sucked, why was it called Street Fighter?, it should have been called "WARNING: you're only watching the movie because it has Jean-Claude Van Damme, Kylie Minogue, Raul Julia dressed up as M. Bison, and a couple of characters from Street Fighter"

[shitcasecinema]

Well said!

[gabboep1995]

ironically, the guy that wrote this movie was the same guy that wrote Commando and Die Hard.

[iwonwalker1285]

review was spot on. the only decent fight was maybe e honda vs zangief but for some strange reason you see them fight on a screen and they are screeching like godzilla vs mothma! strange. could have been so much better but so could all those films listed above. liked the game clips dduring this review.

[metalgearzelda02]

nice review! 5/5! I mean what is wrong with video game movies? Super Mario Brothers, Street Fighter, Double Dragon, Bloodrayne, Doom, Dead or Alive..... i want to start seeing good video game movies. The only thing that is missing is a shitty legend of zelda movie!

[brian15243]

No Metal Gear movie yet, and I hope they never do, because that game is too good

[wakeylad107]

I remember this film coming out when I was still at school. I thought it was crap then! I was well dissapointed! Mortal kombat ruled! Good review lads!

[arprodexec]

Van Damme as an american, Kylie as a brit. Ken and Ryu doing nothing. Why did this have to be Raul Julia's last film? He was so much better than this. Top notch review. Very honest about the film 5/5

[Wayn0rX]

can you believe they're bringing another street fighter film to the theaters this year? wtf?

[shitcasecinema]

Sounds and looks terrible. This movie will be a master piece compared to it.

[brian15243]

4/10 is too generous

[Dante1Savage]

This movie was ridiculous. The story was already set, it should have beena  fighting movie like mortal kombat, not a stupid adventure. There wasn't even one proper fight scene, also why the hell does Ken look like that, the actual ken is blonde, and where is ryus headband! GRRR
