Bison, the villainous ruler of Shadaloo, is holding over 60 relief workers hostage. When the Allied Nations forces, led by handsome redhead Col.

Julia (in his final role) hams it up shamelessly as the camp commandant, but not even his suave presence and throwaway quips can save this noisy, brainless mess.

...the film has been infused with a myriad of shamelessly over-the-top elements that inevitably become quite tough to take.

Campy video game-derived action-fest.

The story of STREET FIGHTER is a mere trifle, but who cares? The real problem is that...the visceral impact is practically nil.

In its noisy, pointless way, Street Fighter does come close to the frenetic meandering of a video game scenario -- which is precisely the problem.

Far less captivating than the videogame that inspired it.

A dreary, overstuffed hodgepodge of poorly edited martial arts sequences and often unintelligible dialogue.

If you grew up playing Street Fighter 2, you MUST see this movie. If not, stay far, far away.
