Street Fighter

Col. Guile leads a multinational Allied Nations force against the corrupt dictatorship of General M. Bison in the Southeast Asian nation of Shadaloo. Bison has kidnapped seventeen aid workers, and Guile has only six days to deliver a ransom of $20 billion, or the hostages will be executed. Guile must team up with a street-smart mercenary, Ryu Hoshi, and his kickboxing buddy Ken Masters, to find Bison's hidden base and rescue the hostages.

The film received overwhelmingly negative reviews from critics and is widely considered one of the worst video game adaptations ever made. While Raúl Juliá's performance as M. Bison was often singled out as a highlight, the film was criticized for its nonsensical plot, poor acting, dated special effects, and overall lack of faithfulness to the source material.

• Widely panned for its convoluted plot and uninspired action.

• Criticized for miscasting and failing to capture the spirit of the video game.

• Raúl Juliá's campy portrayal of M. Bison is a memorable, albeit bizarre, element.

Google audience: Audience reviews highlight the film's entertaining elements, particularly Jean-Claude Van Damme's martial arts prowess and Raúl Juliá's over-the-top villain. However, many find the plot confusing and the overall execution lacking, leading to a mixed to negative reception.
