** [[So My Kids Can Watch]]: He knew that he was about to make his last film, because he was dying of cancer, so he let his kids choose his last role.
* [[What Could Have Been]]: Early drafts of the script focused on Ryu and Ken as the main characters. However, when [[Jean-Claude Van Damme]] signed on to appear in the film he insisted on being Guile and making him the central character. So the script was rewritten.
** In the year 2003, the movie was slated to finally have a sequel. Van Damme and Damien Chapa were to return as Guile and Ken, Holly Valance was to take over for [[Kylie Minogue]] as Cammy, Byron Mann was in talks to return as Ryu and [[Dolph Lundgren]] was supposed to appear in an untold role. However, once the rights to the franchise left [[Universal]] and went to [[FOX]], the sequel was scrapped and turned into a reboot called [[Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun-Li|Street Fighter the Legend of Chun Li]], which was far, ''far'' less received than this cult classic.
*** In the sequel it would have been revealed that Blanka and Dhalsim survived and the chemicals that made Dhalsim bald also gave him his stretching powers.
