Somebody had mentioned about this in another forum, and I thought it was odd that no one mentioned about it here – in SRK. 
It was 20 years ago that this movie was released in movie theaters. “Now, who wants to go home … and who wants to go with me !!”
2005…?
what game is this?
QUICK, CHANGE THE CHANNEL!!!
It’s because nobody cares.
Man…I actually saw this in the theaters. I was so hyped!!! Van Damn was huge in that day, embarrassing in retrospect but I was a huge fan of his movies like Bloodsport and kickboxer. Then you had Raul Julia, who was a very respected actor. More importantly Street fighter was at the height of its popularity, everyone knew about it and played it…it was my favorite series at the time. I would have to say, for me, it was easily the biggest movie letdown ever.
Ditto…I left the movie with a stomachache from all of Julia’s cheesy ham. But I don’t feel this was the biggest movie letdown ever. THAT honor goes to Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles III, aka the ONLY thing with the ninja turtles that I feel asleep while watching. I dozed off 3 times in that bitch, then as jerked awake as my head did the old backwards whiplash nod for the 4th time in 30 minutes and said “Oh, fuck this shit” and just walked out. I noticed when I left that half the people who were there at the start had already left. Warriors of Virtue pissed all OVER this. I watched that shit 3 times. In one day. I just didn’t get up, and nobody told me to leave.
i liked it then, and like it still.

Captain Sawada for SFV, make it so Ono San.
I’d say the Super Mario Bros. movie was a bigger disappointment.
Zangief was truly the best part of the movie.
This movie was left such a shit stain on acceptable quality on video game inspired movies that to this day there has not been 1 good adaptation. When Steve Sousa wrote this movie he never even played the game before and wrote most of the script on the pan taking what could only generously be described as a monstrous turd laced with shrapnel.
RIP to those many hundreds of thousands of 90s kids that took their own lives after bearing witness to this product of evil.
vega, cammy, and bison where the only chars in the movie that where portrayed somewhat right
ken being a con artist and dhalsim being a scientist is amazing
fei long probably would have just been a commercial actor selling shampoo and akuma an angry hobo…wait
lol the last video I posted above go to 7:25 they could sell anything
A pretty interesting read about the movie. It seems like the original idea was going to be a little more like Street Fighter.
Not a good movie by any strech, but totally worth watching in my opinion.
M.Bison called and he wants this movie taken down he says its a act of war
Man TMNT 3 sucked, saw that in the theater too. I was a huge TMNT fan, the cartoon kicked all types of ass, and the first 2 movies were very enjoyable. I mean “go ninja go ninja GO!” Can’t forget about the awesome 4 player co op TMNT arcades. However since the first 2 movies were very satisfying I wasn’t as devastated that 3 was terrible. Sequels are always dicey business.
Never saw that…the trailers alone told me to avoid THAT mess.
When I saw King Koopa was a human rather than a giant spiky shelled turtle, I knew it would be horrible. I think no one expected that movie to be good. As Rhio said, the trailers and commercials were huge turn offs for everyone.
disagree entirely. first, silent hill was dope.
second, sf has no good story to work from. 16 character backgrounds (mostly derived from tropes and stereotypes) does not make for a good screenplay. even if you played through arcade mode you probably wouldn’t know what the story of SF is. but they made the characters mostly look like the game adaptions, had some legitimately good, kid friendly humor and some great easter eggs for fans (many of the characters doing their special moves, bison using arcade controllers, etc.), and a true powerhouse of 80’s action manning the helm. to me, SF:TM is a shining example of a video game to film adaption.
