Two live-action Street Fighter movies have been made, with reactions ranging from enjoyment of the 1994 adaptation's cheesiness to disdain for the 2009 version. The upcoming film is expected to follow in the footsteps of successful video game adaptations like Mortal Kombat. With a director secured and multiple actors involved, the movie is finally moving forward. However, expectations are high, and it remains uncertain if the new adaptation will meet fan aspirations when it ultimately releases.
Depending on which live-action Street Fighter movie you've seen, it's either the best thing you've ever watched or so bad that you wonder how it got made.
The 1994 adaptation is wonderfully cheesy and is still good for a laugh--'Quick, change the channel!'--while the 2009 movie is best described as 96 minutes of your life that you'll never get back.
Development is starting to gather momentum now that the project has a director locked down and multiple actors attached to it.
Considering the high bar set by other video game adaptations like Mortal Kombat and The Super Mario Bros. Movie, the pressure is on for Street Fighter to rise to the occasion.
