Street Fighter (film): Difference between revisions

Line 8:

A [[Live Action Adaptation]] of the wildly popular ''[[Street Fighter]]'' series.

In the remote southeast Asian country of Shadaloo, the power mad dictator General M. Bison ([[Raul Julia]]) is trying to usurp power and take over first the country, then the world. [[Memetic Mutation|OF COURSE!!!]] To fund his megalomaniacal schemes, he's captured several dozen relief workers, who totally are not from the Red Cross, and is holding them hostage for the sum of twenty billion US dollars. It is up to the [[The Federation|Allied Nation]] forces, led by Col. William F. Guile ([[Jean Claude Van Damme]]), to get in there, take out Bison, and rescue the hostages. And they have three days to do so before hostages start dying. His immediate subordinates include Lieutenant Cammy (Kylie Minogue). and Sergeant [[Magical Native American|T. Hawk]] (Gregg Rainwater).

Hawk]] (Gregg Rainwater).

Ace reporter Chun-Li Xiang (Ming-Na), joined by former champion boxer Balrog (Grand L. Bush) and sumotori E. Honda (Peter Navy Tuiasosopo) are sucked into the action, while smugglers [[Ryu and Ken|Rye-you and Ken]] (played respectively by Byron Mann and Damian Chapa) conduct shady business deals with local Muay Thai god Viktor Sagat (Wes Studi). They, along with the cage fighter Vega (Jay Tavare) are thrown in jail. Meanwhile, Guile's old buddy [[Composite Character|Carlos "Charlie" Blanka]] (Robert Mammone) is used in Dr. Dhalsim's (Roshan Seth) [[Super Soldier]] project, to turn him into a green-skinned, super powerful monstrosity. Eventually all parties involved converge on Bison's base for the epic final showdown.

Line 24:

----

* [[But for Me It Was Tuesday]]: After Chun-Li explains how Bison's forces attacked her village and [[You Killed My Father|killed her father]], Bison responds with this.

Line 42:

* [[Brand X]]: The AN, analogous to the United Nations.

** According to the director's commentary, the U.N. threatened to sue the pants off the filmmakers if they portrayed them.

* [[Calling Your Attacks]]:

* [[Canon Foreigner]]: Captain Sawada, who substitutes [[Bruce Lee Clone|Fei-Long]] from the games. He only appeared as a playable character in the two games based on the movies.

Line 64:

* [[Dying Moment of Awesome]] of the real life kind: see [[Awesome, Dear Boy]] in the Trivia tab. Julia did it because he was dying of cancer. His children chose his final role.

* [[Egopolis]]: Bisonopolis.

* [[Evil Is Hammy]]: '''''[[Overly Long Gag|OF COURSE!]]'''''

* [[Face Death with Dignity]]: Bison is willing to do this and expects Dee Jay to do the same, but Dee Jay isn't so enthusiastic about it.

* [[Faking the Dead]]: Guile's death was staged so that Ken and Ryu could [[Shoot Your Mate|gain acceptance]] with Sagat's gang and [[Reverse Mole|infiltrate Shadaloo]].

Line 121:

* [[Psycho Electro]]: Bison is apeshit insane. He goes even more loopy when his revival causes him to have electric powers.

{{quote|FOR [[A God Am I|I BEHELD SATAN AS HE FELL FROM HEAVEN]]... LIKE LIIIIGHTNIIIING!!!}}

* [[Punch Clock Villain]]: Dee Jay.

* [[Recursive Adaptation]]: Had not one, but two video games based on it, both titled ''[[Street Fighter the Movie|Street Fighter: The Movie]]'', one for the arcades and the other for home consoles. Despite having the same title, they're '''not''' ports of each other.

Line 130:

* [[Shock and Awe]]: Bison uses this against Guile in their final battle.

{{quote|'''Bison''': "This is merely Superconductor Electromagnetism."}}

* [[Shirtless Scene]] : Ryu - twice. When his shirt is ripped off by one of Sagat's lady followers before he fights Vega at the beginning and by himself when he fights Vega at the end.

* [[Signed Up for the Dental]]: Dee Jay knows his employer is a power-mad dictator. But he pays well.

** [[Screw This, I'm Outta Here]]: Realizing his job will soon [[Stuff Blowing Up|cease to exist]], Dee Jay hilariously drops out during Bison's [[Last Stand]] speech.
