Street Fighter (1994)
Manage episode 386665504 series 2490261
Street Fighter is one of those movies that does feel lacking, incomplete, and cut to shreds, and then you realise it is indeed all of those things because of the various issues on set. Capcom’s constant demands, Raúl Julia's illness and recovery from surgery, Jean-Claude Van Damme's regular absences from set, and a constantly changing filming schedule, not to mention the MPAA requesting constant cuts to give it the all important PG-13 rating. Under different circumstances, Street Fighter could actually have ended up so different.
It's a movie based on a video game, that bucked the trend of video game movies not making any money, but that did not buck the trend of video game movies not being all that great, that had nothing to do with the actual video game, and everything to do with selling toys, appeasing Capcom and enabling Jean-Claude Van Damme's bad behaviour...
Game Over!
