Call my crazy, but making a movie out of a fighting game famous for character balance doesnt sound like a good idea to me. | |
We already know this is going to suck, the only real question is how much? | |
I miss Raul Julia... | |
Once again proving that the people who make these films are total morons. There's no point in making a Street Fighter movie if Ryu and Ken aren't the main characters. I have no idea which actors could play them properly in a live action film though. | |
A decade of fanboys will cry in shame. | |
Again. | |

As much as your mothe... (Steady PR, steady) I've always hated any game to movie except for Silent Hill (but I guess I never played the game and was more interested in its Cinematogrphy more then anything else). This one is going to suck hard. Why can't the producers learn a lesson from the first? | |
The question is, did the last movie give return on investment? If the answer is yet then queue another crappy movie. | |
According to ye olde IMDB, the original Street Fighter earned nearly $100 million worldwide against a production cost of $35 million. So while the movie was undeniably el stinkola, it wasn't a full-scale flop by any means. | |
When will people learn never to make movies from games | |
Edited for Accuracy. | |
Man.. why in the hell... I mean... You know what though.. What is REALLY funny about this is that you know you will probably all go see it. Just to satisfy morbid curiosity. We all knew that the first movie was going to suck, yet we have all seen it. The sad part is that there are a shit-ton of games that have great plots and WOULD make good movies so long as they stuck to the actual game plot more or less. | |
The suckiness of those movies pales into comparison when you see Alone in the Dark eugh..tara reid | |
Not me! I was too young and stupid to think Hollywood was into barrel-buggering. I actually thought? Street Fighter... The MOVIE? CAN THAT BE ANYTHING BUT AWESOME???! | |
Street Fighter. The Movie. Again. | |
But... I loved Doom... Semper fi, mother fucker. Semper fi.. *tear* I'm definitely going to go see it. I've seen every Street Fighter movie ever released, including the college humor Street Fighter series where they're old. | |
Doom as quite good, Resident Evil was quite good, even Mortal Kombat was quite good. Street Fighter though... Well, the animated film was good. | |
It can mildly work, if they actually play it honest to the game, and put a real good dose of CGI superpowers, and cut the cheese. | |

Capcom Reveals Street Fighter Cast
Capcom has released casting details about its upcoming live-action Street Fighter movie, which everyone hopes will be better than the last live-action Street Fighter movie.
This time, the movie will revolve around Chinese thunder-thighs Chun Li, who will be portrayed by Smallville alumnus Kristen Kreuk. Other confirmed cast members include Neal McDonough as M. Bison, Michael Clarke Duncan as Balrog and Taboo of the Black Eyed Peas as Vega. The movie is one of numerous projects Capcom has in the works to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the famed arcade classic. Street Fighter IV, the latest addition to the franchise, will be released in Japanese arcades this summer.
The original Street Fighter movie cast Jean-Claude Van Damme as Colonel William Guile, battling the evil warlord General M. Bison and his troops. The movie earned a 3.1 rating at the Internet Movie Database and is widely considered a travesty by both movie and videogame fans alike. Street Fighter is best known for being the final movie of respected actor Raul Julia, who died of a stroke days before its release and was thus able to avoid taking any direct blame for the thing.
Street Fighter is being developed in conjunction with Hyde Park Films, and will be distributed by 20th Century Fox. The movie is currently scheduled for a worldwide release in 2009.
