BANNED  Posts: 6317 Joined: 29 Nov 2007     | What? I loved that movie. It was a bastardization of the game but as a semi sci-fi action flick it was pretty sweet. Hell, it could even be considered satirical. User was banned for: The hypocrisy is KILLING me.. (Permanent) |

Gone Gonzo  Posts: 1809 Joined: 21 Nov 2007   | What the heck is the point of bringing this out on blu-ray? You can't polish a turd after all.... |

You can if you just stick it underground for a while. Then you can make it priceless. User was banned for: Poll: What is your opinion on the Metal Gear Solid storylines?. (Permanent) |

Or you can make it fertilizer for a Blu-Ray edition of a movie no one even thought to ask for. Seriously, who would wake up one day and think "Hey, I'd really like to watch Street Fighter on my spankin' new Blu-Ray player."? |
Beat Writer  Posts: 183 Joined: 8 Jun 2008     | You people are all mean! This film is a brilliant example of how gaming was percieved and portrayed in the 90s. Honestly you cannot say you never got a bit of a smile while watching this film? I remember numerous 'sick days' from primary school where this was on the one video I got to watch that day. I havent seen this film in years and I'm sure I'll retract my statement, but damn it was great! |

Street Fighter: Reunion is a TV series, a continuation of Street Fighter: The Later Years. |
Gone Gonzo  Posts: 2043 Joined: 11 Jul 2008 | Yes, Street Fighter : The later years was made by College Humour and its about 20 billion times better than this movie, on a budget about a million times smaller. |
"Street Fighter: Extreme Edition" Announced for Blu-Ray
For you, the day "Street Fighter: The Movie" graces your Blu-ray player will be the most important day of your life. But for Capcom, it's just Tuesday.
No film better symbolizes the plight facing gamers at the cinema quite like Steven E. de Souza's "Street Fighter." Though it's not exactly tolerable like "Mortal Kombat" and it's not classified as cruel and unusual punishment in some countries like "Double Dragon" is, the "Street Fighter" film thrives as a beacon of mediocrity; that everything you ever knew about Street Fighter is wrong and sometimes the best of comedies are the ones that were never intended to be in the first place.
Come February 10, the acting tour de force that is Jean-Claude Van Damme and Raul Julia can be seen in true, 1080p, widescreen brilliance as "Street Fighter: Extreme Edition" heads to Blu-Ray. The disc, which is set to release sometime around the console launch of Street Fighter IV, includes plenty of extras dedicated to the latest entry in the long-running series, such as game and anime teasers. Rounding out the package are the usual assortment of extras including "making of" features, outtakes, deleted scenes, director commentary and more. If you already own the special edition DVD set of the film, however (which you totally should), then this may not be news to you.
There is currently no price set for the release, though you should probably start saving up your Bison dollars now if you want to relive the greatest moment in cinematic history in 1080p. I know I do.
