When I was a kid, I looked forward to playing the arcade version of “Street Fighter” at my local bowling alley. When I would enter my local arcade, I had to make a choice: “Double Dragon” or “Street Fighter”? I usually split the difference; I would play a few games of “Double Dragon,” then, play a little “Street Fighter.” Both were exceptional games for their time.
I always found the choice of fight moves playing “Street Fighter” more attractive and challenging than “Double Dragon.” “Street Fighter” is a $12.2 billion dollar media franchise. “Street Fighter II” alone made $10.6 billion in total revenue. That’s not a successful game, that’s a gaming phenomenon. When a game franchise is as successful as “Street Fighter,” a movie based on the game gets made. I enjoy some of Jean-Claude Van Damme’s performances; this is not one of them. He apparently got a big paycheck to play Colonel Guile. He didn’t just phone the role in, he telegraphed it in; and I even wonder if he read the screenplay.

The 1994, live action “Street Fighter” is the great Raul Julia’s last film. It seems like Julia is having fun playing General M. Bison. He’s easily the most watchable part of the movie. Julia basks in being evil. When he is on screen, the film goes up a few notches on the entertainment scale. He sold me on his over-the-top wickedness. Raul Julia was one of the most talented actors in cinema in the 1980s and the early-1990s. He should’ve won an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor for the 1990 film “Presumed Innocent.”
There are so many different versions of “Street Fighter,” by now you would think a screenwriter out there would have enough strong material to make a halfway watchable film. I’ve played “Street Fighter” enough to know that the pure gratification of the game is the simulated fighting and the delight of advancing; no film or cartoon can do that better than the iconic game.
It’s a simple game of strategy that changes with every new opponent. That’s what makes “Street Fighter” still one of the best hand-to-hand combat games ever produced.
