Trivia:
M. Bison's alternate name for Shadaloo was the Shadow Empire, like in the video games. more
Goofs:
Factual errors: Bison is established as being the child of Irish missionaries. The actors portraying him as a teenager and adult are appropriate, but in the scene where he is gravely ill in the orphanage, the camera zooms on an apparently Asian baby. more
Quotes:
Vega: [Chun-Li has cut Vega's face and has her foot pressed against his head] You think this is over?

Not worth the time, 27 February 2009
3/10
Author: Farstrider from United States

This movie was terrible to put it simply. I wasn't expecting it to be great, but I wasn't expecting it to be as bad as it was. It seemed that they took a really bad, wannabe Kung-Fu movie added some Street Fighter names and thought that would good enough to pass it off as a Street Fighter movie. Horrible, almost nonexistent plot, bad acting, and terrible fight scenes make this movie not worth the time it takes to watch it. At times it was funny though, but not intentionally. When certain characters try to be serious or they throw out some line they think would be good catch phrase you can't help but laugh at how poor the acting was.
