Line 8:
** The [[Sequel Hook]] showing that Bison lives. But Raul Julia did not.
* [[Ham and Cheese]]: [[Raul Julia]]'s portrayal of Bison in the first movie:
{{quote| ''"For I beheld [[Satan]] as he'' '''[[Paradise Lost|FELL FROM HEAVEN!]]''' '''''[[Drunk Onon the Dark Side|LIKE LIGHTNING!!!]]'''"''}}
* [[Hilarious in Hindsight]]:
** Guile says that he's gonna "kick that son-of-a-bitch Bison's ass so hard that the next Bison wannabe is gonna feel it." Cue [[Street Fighter: theThe Legend of Chun -Li (Film)|the next adaptation of the franchise...]]
** When you consider Raul Julia's last quote: "[[Paradise Lost|For I beheld Satan, as he fell from heaven. Like lightning!]]" ''[[Street Fighter X Tekken (Video Game)|Street Fighter X Tekken]]'' is being made and that description fits Kazuya!
* [[Magnificent Bastard]]: Julia's portrayal of M. Bison.
* [[Retroactive Recognition]]: [[The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (Film)|Leatherface]] plays Zangief.
* [[Rooting for Thethe Empire]]: On the one hand, you have the magnificently absurd and entertaining performance by Raul Julia, a great actor who tragically died in his prime shortly after completing the film. On the other, a corny and bland one by Jean-Claude Van Damme as the boring, traditional hero.
* [[So Bad It's Good]]
* [[Spiritual Licensee]]: Heroic army lead by a handsome blond American takes on a crazy megalomaniac who wants to take over the world and his shiny-domed weapons supplier. Are we sure this wasn't originally a script for an unmade ''[[G.I. Joe]]'' film?
* [[Took the Bad Film Seriously]]: Watch the "Making Of" featurette on the DVD. The actors seem well aware of the ridiculousness of the movie they are making. However, director Stephen de Souza seems to be under the impression that he's making the next ''[[Die Hard (Film)|Die Hard]]'' / ''[[Lethal Weapon (Film)|Lethal Weapon]]''.
* [[Video Game Movies Suck]]
* [[WTHWhat the Hell, Casting Agency?]]:
** Exactly whose idea was it to cast a 52-year-old classically-trained theater actor with absolutely zero martial arts background in an action movie based on a video game? [[Raul Julia]]'s [[So My Kids Can Watch|grandkids']], that's who. However, as it turns out, he's by far the most memorable character of the movie for his [[Large Ham]] performance, so it all turned out good.
** Far worse has got to be [[Jean -Claude Van Damme]], with his unshakable Belgian accent, as a character so American he's got the American flag tattooed on both shoulders.
