Trivia:

During the scene where Chun-Li is describing Bison's head troops their Japanese names are shown on the profiles. Balrog is referred to as Bison and Vega as Balrog.

Goofs:

Continuity: When Honda fights Balrog there is a scene where they grapple and role off the cliff. It switches back and forth from a close-up shot and a far shot, in the close-ups they are rolling and touching the rock surface but in the far shots they are free falling a couple of feet from the rock surface.

Quotes:

Chun-Li: [shouting angrily at Guile] Hey Brush-head! This isn't a request!

Everything you could ever wish for in a Street Fighter-anime

"Street Fighter II: The Animated Movie" is an anime that packs everything you could ever wish for in a Street Fighter-anime, and it is everything that the movie starring Jean-Claude Van Damme should have been. I think of myself as a fan of the glorious Street Fighter videogames, and especially the original Street Fighter II videogame. This movie brings you brilliant martial-art-sequences and it really captures the atmosphere of the videogame. Pretty much all of SFII`s characters appear in this movie, and although Ryu and Ken are the main characters, every character from the game that is present here gets to fight. An excellent musical score is also worth noticing. This is in my opinion the finest pure martial-art-anime available today. This movie`s intro, where Ryu fights Sagat, is probably the best intro ever for an anime, and it really makes you expect an extraordinary film, and this movie more than delivers. Everyone with an interest in action-anime will love this, and it is completely perfect for the fans of the videogame-series. So, if you fancy watching an anime where you get to see old favorites such as Ryu, Ken, and Chun-Li go head-to-head in explosive battles against villains such as Balrog, Vega and Bison, then this is your movie.
