Full review
Col. Guile (Jean-Claude Van Damme) and various other martial arts heroes, including a younger Kylie Minogue(not bad) fight against the tyranny of Dictator M. Bison (Raul Julia) and his cohorts.

The film includes characters from the video games up to and including Super Street Fighter II.

I believe Street Fighter is one of the most underated and unfairly roasted films from the '90's. If anything, this is a lively, vibrant, highly entertaining and ever so well made fun filled film. The effects are not bad but more importantly its packed with excitement and is one of the more superior adventure films of the era.

Colonel Guile (Jean Claude Van Damme) heads a team of United Nations commandoes on a rescue mission to retreive kidnapped relief workers from the clutches of power mad General M.Bison (Raul Julia) whose a total war lord. He's assisted by his crooked arms supplier Sagat whilst Guile's helped by Cammy (the suprisingly good Kylie Minogue).

It may all look slightly over the top and perhaps it doesn't have the most coherent plot in the world, but this is, alas, probably one of Van Damme's best roles. There is a scene where he delivers a stirring war speech to his troops which in my eyes anyway is a as close to 'acting' as Van Damme gets.

There's a good old showdown at the end with the two leads and a very engaging performance from Bison's unwitting scientist Dr.Dhalsim, delivering an ace line :'If good men do nothing, that is evil enough.'

Its worth watching if it one - looks a bit dated now but not a bad film - I enjoy it anyway.
