Plot Summary
International action superstar Jean-Claude Van Damme teams with Raul Julia for a thrill-packed adventure on an epic scale from the screenwriter of Die-Hard, 48 HRS. and Commando. Based on the best-selling video game, the film hurtles beyond imagination with explosive action, humor and amazing special effects. Van Damme is Colonel Guile, the Allied Nations commando who leads an elite team of street fighters against the forces of the mad General M. Bison (Julia). Bison, who has hatched an evil plan for world domination, takes dozens of relief workers hostage and gives the world only 72 hours to respond to his twisted demands. In that time, Guile must find the captives and confront Bison in an electrifying battle for the fate of the free world. Featuring sizzling songs by Ice Cube and Hammer, Street Fighter is an exciting, no-holds-barred action film for the whole family.

Top Critics' Reviews
Rotten: A dreary, overstuffed hodgepodge of poorly edited martial arts sequences and often unintelligible dialogue.
Rotten: Far less captivating than the videogame that inspired it.
Rotten: Game Over.
Rotten: 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.

Takes me back...
I know the movie isn't the best out there, but it's worth watching for sentimental value and laughs. The new Chun-Li movie makes this look like a masterpiece. Watch for the good old days when this came out. I like it for that reason. If you want to watch a serious movie then this is not for you.
Better Than...
Legend of Chun Li, it connects to the REAL Game, Not Full but good enough to watch and understand the story
Can you believe this is what introduced me to the Street Fighter franchise?!?!
I saw this movie once and thought it was awesome. I checked out the video game franchise and it's many spinoffs (you know, Street Fighter II the Animated Movie....which I highly recommend to any Street Fighter fan) and I got completely into the series. However, after seeing the things that this movie was supposed to be based on, I have to say I wasn't much of a fan of this film now. The only reason why I am not giving this one star is because I was introduced to the Street Fighter franchise due to this film. Now, Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun Li.......that is something so horrible I can't properly explain without using words that would be highly censored.
