Col. William Guile leads an army of soldiers into the country of Shadaloo to find traces to lead him to General M. Bison, who has captured many people including three missing soldiers. Among them is Carlos "Charlie" Blanka, in which Bison decides to turn into a hideous mutant. On the other hand, Chun Li is a reporter who seeks revenge against Bison for the death of her father years ago. Then two small time hustlers Ryu and Ken, are arrested along with Sagat, a powerful arms dealer and Vega for dealing of illegal weapons. Guile recruits them in order to find Bison's base. Now Guile, T. Hawk, Cammy, Ryu, Ken, Chun Li, Balrog and E. Honda have three days before Bison murders the hostages and takes over the world.

Trivia

GOOFY HOLLER: Toward the end of the movie when the A.N. forces first arrive at Bison's fortress, one of Bison's troopers is sent flying from an explosion. This makes it one of the few non-animated and non-Disney films to use the sound effect.

Goofs

In the scene where Ryu and Ken are confronted by Chun-Li, Balrog and E. Honda; Chun-Li pulls a knife on Ryu. In the ensuing commotion the knife brushes Ryu's arm and it bends, clearly showing that it is a prop knife.

Quotes

User Reviews

Watch the animated movie instead.

Being the fanatic of the video game series that I am, I was eager to see this movie when it first came out.

One word.

Garbage.

The movie does the video game on which it is based no justice whatsoever. If you want to see a good video game based film, watch Mortal Kombat instead.

And what the hell was up with those guys playing Ryu and Ken.

And Jewan-Claude Van-Dumb playing Guile? A Belgian playing an American. How dumb can you get!

And the script?

Someone actually got PAID to write that crap-ola.

Let me take a shot at it....while I'm not a professional screen writer, I certainly couldn't have done any worse than that.

Whoever did the casting for that film needs to go flip burgers if that's any example of how they do their other projects.

Maybe I'm being to critical here, but I expect the movie to at least remind me of the game. Nothing did.

Watch the animated version.
