Street Fighter The Movie

It was great seeing Raul Julia repeatedly fly across the room on strings as he did his psycho crusher move. Guile just couldn't seem to dodge it! but then he suddenly realized after about the 4th or 5th flyby that he had legs and he could kick with them.

And I regret having to report that Van Damme NEVER ONCE DID THE SPLITS!

Anyone else seen this?

And Dhalsim, instead of being a badass yoga master who breathes fire was made into a measly scientidt in a labcoat!

a summary of SF2 in the movies

Nah. I heard it sucked
haha of course it did. it's like one of the worst movies ever!

Blanka looked sort of Incredible Hulk tv show meets 1980s Beauty And The Beast tv show. Dhalsim was a good, peaceful man with a good, peaceful heart. Maybe he couldn't breathe fire or teleport, but he knew exactly when to have a compilation of video clips of happy things like people frolicking through the grass and being beautiful.

Do you think 28 Days Later got its inspiration for the Rage virus from Blanka's transformation in this movie? Stanley Kubrick was quoted as saying that Dhalsim's Good Brainwash video "really got him thinking" and was directly responsible for A Clockwork Orange, starting with Alex's brainwash scene.

“After 10 days in Bangkok we were six days behind schedule – it was tortuous. The producers said: ‘You’re running behind!’ So I did an old John Ford trick: I just opened the script and ripped a page out and said, there, we’re back on track.”

The rest of the actors recall a frustrating and bemusing experience. “He had the presidential suite at the hotel, with a gym put into his room,” recalls Seth. “Sometimes he wouldn’t turn up on set – the message would come through from him saying: ‘I have to pump up my muscles!’ and that was that.”

its the Longmont joke come to life!

And now the new new movie:

this is post/username bait

how does Andrew Schulz keep booking gigs

well at least this time they'll actually have the fighting part in the movie. kinda amped after that trailer

ah, the creepy-lookin feller who shot the mayor in The Dark Knight is M Bison

more accurately, the dude from the amazing Late Night with the Devil

and once upon a time, Wendy's commercials

that's equally accurate

not to mention Murderbot and Dune

and a cameo in Blade Runner 2049

and rent-free in my head

Enjoy some character posters. Including David Dastmalchian, to give the full name nobody's been saying today here.

The director is the main director of the Eric Andre show. If this achieves the same level of cheese as the 1994 movie, it will be a success in my book.

"The director is the main director of the Eric Andre show"

I sincerely hope it has (a) "Hard in the Paint" on the soundtrack (b) Denis Rodman has a cameo where he kisses a corpse. Only a few people in the audience will get those references but they'll go to see the film hundreds of times.

So anyway

Excited for all the tweenage kids who have birthdays around the time this comes out, and can bring all their buds to this for a party outing, hepped up on goofballs unrefined sugar products.
