I told my friends the same thing, It's a shame Raul Julia did this as his last film.

Really funny, maistro. Votes: +5

I gotta disagree. AS FOR ME, it was a good movie. after this review I thought like maybe I was a kid and stuff but I watched irt again and... its still a good movie.

the plot - meh... but cmon, you don't expect that much of a scenario from an MK movie WITH PG-13. and after all it was'nt too boring or something. moreover it served as a good link between the action sequences, which were VERY good for the time.
Cage's jokes? yeah they don't make you roll on the floor but they amuse and give that something to Johnny's character. besides, it aint a comedy so what did you expect?

so F all, i still like the movie Votes: +1

@Dimon: the Nostalgia Critic videos are really for satirical purposes only. And by any human standards, it's just funnier to 'bash' a movie than to praise it into heaven .

I'm still a sucker for Ninja Turtles and Three Ninjas and stuff like that too, mainly for nostalgic reasons. But by any cinematic standards, those movies suck ass. Votes: +1

the funniest part about this review, is that even if i had a very gay obsession with this movie when i was a mere child, every fucking quote that NC picked from JCVD's unintelligible lines just so happened to magically be the same lines i never understood.

The biggest problem I had with this movie is that guile is the main character. Not Ken and Ryu. If the movie had been about them, this movie would have probally kicked ass. Votes: +1

I watched Street Fighter for the first time yesterday. And yeah, it's pretty bad. But, after a while, if you just pretend it's a comedy of sorts, it gets slightly more entertaining. Votes: +0

Raul Julia's had some pretty bad roles before, though.

Also, even if the camoflage joke was funny, the reason the troops are wearing sky blue helmets is because that actually IS the uniform worn by troops controlled by the United Nations IRL. Votes: +0

I can't tell what I hate more: how this movie was mutated into some sort of Gulf War booster film, or how the All-American Asskicker that is Guile was played by a guy named Jean-Claude from Belgium. That's two steps below Captain America being played by Chow Yun Fat! No offense to anyone, but come on. Votes: +0

Just like most game based movies from games that I liked, this also seemed good one at that time. Also I preferd then Jan Claude Van Dam before all other martial artist actors at that time. I feel shamed becouse he was not that good unlike all those chinese onces that I didn't know nothing about back then.

I'm just gonna get this off my chest I loved your video and I actually thought the Mortal Kombat movie was good(however, not the God-awful sequal with James Remar in for Christopher Lambert). I think what was most depressing about this film is that they screw up Ken's appearance. Now I've seen a million kids who cosplayed as Ken screw it up(not that it's a big deal or anything), but when a costume designer for a movie screws up?! I mean, this is no cosplay it's for a movie. You got the red gi, now get a guy rith long blonde hair. While your at it get one that can act and do a better shuryuken(I must've spellt that wrong) Guile's appearance was handled poorly. It was bad enough we had a Belgian playing an American, but what was worse was the torture chamber guy in the Honda whipping scene actually looked like Guile. Was Steve E. De Souza trying to tease us? Votes: +1

I don't even like Street Fighter. Those games are just one thing all the time; shooting beams, and give ridicuolus punches with weird effects. Sorry, but those games aren't my style. So yeah, I neither like this movie because of that. I'm more of a Tekken/Soul Calibur/Virtua Fighter/Dead Or Alive/Super Smash Brothers kind of fighter.

Well There's also said to be a new Mortal Kombat movie coming too...and it's a sequel....

The movie's been in development hell for years. No one's willing to pick it up. Plans were to make it a sequel of the first movie (ignoring the second), make it a prequel, make it a remake, and/or make it a movie about Sub-Zero before MK1 (sorta like the MK: Mythologies game).

I think the MK movie was actually pretty good. N.C. had a point with Sonya going from tough bitch to helpless princess, but still. It was a pretty good movie as far as game-to-movie adaptations go. MK2 blew, however. Oh so hard. Votes: +0

That makes no sense. If someone's making a film and promoting it as the same style as the video game (Guile, Ken, etc as characters), then logic is that it's being promoted towards Street Fighter fans. While I see what you're saying, that if it were just another bad movie, it'd be ok (it does resemble 90% of other Van Damme movies).

However, that'd be like saying the Spider-Man movie was "alright" if you're not a Spider-Man fan. Obviously the movie wasn't promoted for "non-fans." This is why a lot of people are so angered at the Street Fighter movie. So many things were changed, it was sickening. Votes: +2

orgh no way i like Van Damme! Votes: -1

Don't worry, even most of french don't like van damme.Not because of his film (most of us didn't even watched them) but how stupidly he is in TV.
Sometimes it really seems he does it purposely, but no:He burped on live, he had an erection on live, he said really stupid frenglish stuff on live.He even made a TV comercial for world of warcraft recently! Votes: +0

JC VD is NOT the poor man's Chuck Norris. Chuck Norris is the poor man's (insert any action hero here other than Steven Seagal).
Seriously. Jean-Claude is a great martial artist, and it is not his fault this movie is terrible. It's not even close to being the worst video game movie. Remember Alone in the Dark? Resident Evil? Having said that, the four syllables as to why this movie sucks aren't Jean-Claude Van Damme, they are Street Fighter Film. It because of the differences between game and movie. Votes: +1

I liked the Mortal Kombat movie, and what's wrong with Jean Claude? I think he is awesome, have any of you ever seen Lionheart? He was awesome in that. Votes: +0

He was considered the role of Johnny Cage because he was the one the characters based Johnny Cage off of. I think they still wanted him in the movie of SF, but thank God he wasn't.

The unique person in all film who forced me to look this film is Raul Julia... Votes: +0

I saw this "look-back" review U made and laughed.
Thought to myself that this movie is really bad as any other videogame movie outthere.
I was wrong.

Downloaded this movie and actually liked it.
I'm a 20 year old athlet living in Sweden (Scandanavia).

I do not actually have english and english culture close to heart so my personal opinion about this movie may differ because of were I'm from.

Thumbs up:
Never boring.
Interesting dialog (consider modern hollywood movies standards).
Quite nice story build up.
Raul Julia is in it.

Thumbs down:
Street fighter the movie has nearly not enough fighting to call itself by that title but then again, that is what the games for ^^.
Fucked up camera work in the actuall fighting.

That's all I have to say.
Going to download Mortal Combat and see what that brings.

...It's actually a work of genius when compared to the other 1994 video-game-based
actioner "Double Dragon." I watched the two back-to-back, "Double Dragon"
first.

Yeah, "Street Fighter" was solid in comparison.
