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

    Really funny, maistro.
  • Butcher
    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
  • excelladon
    my goodness, your taste is so bland it has purged your inselent mind into a pure
    pile of nothingness, and p.s. the movie sucked....bad.
  • Butcher
    whoops, wrong video commented, sry >_<
    I was reffering to the MK video

    @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.

    cinematic shit mongouring lol ;D ;D ;D
  • jkthedj
    "Get The Hostages OUUUUT!" Classic.
  • stevo38
    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.

    i walk around at work saying "A wacaca? whats a wacaca?"

    you can imagine the looks i get.
  • Iconbuster
    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.
  • Daffy
    "QUICK! Change the channel!"

    "What a shock."

    "Maybe he should, psh, hit him."

    "In the comfort and safety of a BURNING BUILDING!"

    These four lines had me laffing for a good five minutes each.
  • Airguitar Demon
    'Call it a, wekka call!'

    I feel we're all starting to miss Schwarzenegger after seeing this, dude.
  • Dove
    Even Funnier than part 2

    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.
  • NotPigeon
    Raul Julia's had some pretty bad roles before, though.
    Overdrawn at the Memory Bank, anyone?
  • DO A BARREL ROLL!
    you know, amidst all of the bad action sequences, this movie still managed to
    leave out all of the most important elements of street fighter, mainly "shin
    SHORYUKEN!!!!" and "are you ok? BUSTAAA WOLF!!!"
    P.S.
    the "HADOKEN" was what won that fight for the AVGN in the "epic
    battle"
  • Dbreiden83080
    I loved Van Damme as a kid and i thought this was hilarious, he really did ruin
    the movie.
  • gasto  - SF, not even worthy of mentioning.
    This movie is not even worth mentioning. Now think of Street fighter: Chunli
    legend, will be like. ooooh sh
    hhhht
  • UraRenge
    I have to say, as bad of a movie Street Fighter was, it wasn't bad as a
    Jean-Claude Van Damme movie.
  • UraRenge
    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.
  • TKWolfman
    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.
  • Shinigami
    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.

  • Jay_Sun  - u forgot something
    u forgot to mention another reason why street fighter was a major suckfest....NO
    FUCKIN POWERS...no fireballs, no sonic booms...awww man, it was terrible...and i
    saw this in the theatre...jesus...
  • TKWolfman  - Favorite Part
    *Guile gets shot*
    NC: Hey, alright, this movie's finally starting to get good.
    *Guile sits up, revealing his death to be fake*
    NC: ...damn it.
  • mauistrife  - hmmm there was another good part
    what about the reference of godzilla???????? men that was awesome,well only if
    you dont live in a cave to not understand it
  • neddx
    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?
  • Nevet  - Lame Movie
    No Hadoukens? At all?
    Nice review ;D
  • chaossquid
    "Now if you'll excuse me, I'm off to burn down an orphanage and puppy farm.
    Ahnarfhnarfhnarfhnarf" *drinks tea*

    That made my day. No, actually, it makes my days, and will probably make a few
    more of them in the future.
  • Keroshino  - Street Fighter : Legend of Chung-Li
    There is a new street fighter live action movie coming out
    funny(ironic)thing is Robin Shou the asian actor who played
    Liu Kang in Mortal Kombat is gonna be in it....lol

    http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0891592/


  • Excalibur  - Mortal Kombat
    Well There's also said to be a new Mortal Kombat movie coming too...and it's a
    sequel....
  • greenboy07
    technically they haven't stated if it's going to be a equel, prequel, or remake
    of the first yet, just that raiden and scorpion are going to be played by the
    same people
