As for Jean-Claude, it's a tough stretch for him to play a figurine from an arcade game but, why, he almost manages to be convincing.

While de Souza's arrested development makes him a likely suspect to adapt a video game for movies, the result (like The Super Mario Brothers movie before it) is an empty exercise in hyper-stimulation. Or, to put it bluntly, a complete waste of time.

| Original Score: 0.5/4 | Apr 25, 2019

De Souza's wit, which gave his earlier action scripts a tart edge, has failed him here. He pitches this entire movie at the sub-literate set that, with glassy eyes, unthinkingly pumps quarter after quarter into video games.

This is [Steven E. de Souza's] directorial debut, and while it shows promise, it is uneven. The film is way too choppy, and as a result we never get a chance to know the characters (except Bison).

Even knowing what a mess Street Fighter is, I will defend it to the end of time all for what Raul Julia brought to the film.

| Mar 14, 2018

Far less captivating than the videogame that inspired it.

Julia (in his final role) hams it up shamelessly as the camp commandant, but not even his suave presence and throwaway quips can save this noisy, brainless mess.

| Jun 24, 2006

A dreary, overstuffed hodgepodge of poorly edited martial arts sequences and often unintelligible dialogue.

Game Over.

| Jan 1, 2000

Bizarre, surreal, and ultimately less engaging than playing Pong with a blind man...

| Original Score: 1/5 | Jan 1, 2000

A raucous two-fisted fantasy that is good bonehead fun before it completely falls apart during the lengthy final battle sequence.
