Trivia:
Crates throughout Bangkok's industrial area were labeled "Toei". That was the Japanese animation group of American action hits-such as "G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero" (1983). This can also refer to Capcom's rival, Nintendo distributor "Koei". 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:
Charlie Nash: His name's Bison. I've tracked him through eleven major cities on four continents and never come close, not once. This guy walks through the raindrops. Anybody that's against him is either dead, or on their way. more

I don't even know where to start. For anyone who knows anything about Street Fighter, set yourself up for disappointment because the movie has absolutely nothing to do with the game. There are little to zero special effects and the ones that are in the movie do not revolve around the fighters special powers. Let's talk about the characters....I realize the movie is suppose to be about Chun-Li, but that does not mean exclude every other character in the game. The ONLY characters are Chun-Li, Balrog, Bison, and Vega. None of the characters have the same power or skill that they display in the game. There are also a lot of over played scenes by useless characters such as Chris Klein's Interpol character and the other Asian chick that also has no purpose. They only serve as pawns in making the movie more irritating. If there was ever a punishment you wanted to dish out to anyone or revenge you wanted to take upon somebody, just have them watch this movie.
