After watching the first movie, I just want to know the Hollywood guy who had the ... umm... nerve... to make another Street Fighter movie.  I remember the first one, it made my eyes bleed, at least it felt that way.

I would say that I hope this one will be much better, but the only way it could be worse is if they showed a blank screen for an hour and a half.

It was pretty childish. Van Damme's "Second in Command" was more convincing.

Oh, I could think of ways it could be worse- anyone ever seen Krull?  But, honestly, the fact that they're attempting to make an action movie with a female star who can actually act?  I think that's a major step in the right direction.

I would be thrilled if they got around to making her at least reasonably fit for the role, but I think Lingster's pegged it exactly- they'll all say how buff she's gotten and she won't do anything more than get a little lean and tip the scales at about 110...

Will Kristen buff it up like Jessica Biel?  Undecided

I'd rather see Gina Carano play KOF Vanessa.

The same people who want to remake and update "The Day the Earth Stood Still" with Keanu Reeves.... never try and figure Hollywood out, it's more abstract and convoluted then Fett  Shocked

Most people didn't like the Van Damme SF movie because it was so obviously a parody of the gaming genre. No where did it take itself seriously.

Raul Julia, an awesome actor, so blantantly overacting. Honda and Zangrief fighting across the model of Bisonopolis with the Godzilla soundFX playing. Cammy and Chun Li's comments on each other's hair. The background announcements in Bison's headquarters for people to remember to return their health forms to HR. The whole Bison/Chun Li bedroom scene (the clothes changing, the self portrait of Bison as a clown, etc.)

There were some great lines in it, also. Like where Chun Li has her big speech to Bison about her quest for revenge and tells him in detail of the day he killed her father and she is expecting him to remember it.
Bison looks blandly at her and says "I'm sorry, I don't remember any of it. For you, the day Bison graced your village, was the most important day of your life. But for me, it was Tuesday."
The look on her face is priceless.

StreetFighter was a parody and a fun movie.
