Critics Consensus

Though it offers mild entertainment through campy one-liners and the overacting of the late Raul Julia, Street Fighter's nonstop action sequences are not enough to make up for a predictable, uneven storyline.

I'm really starting off September right with a rewatch of this absolute travesty of a movie. So much of this movie doesn't work, but it's done in such a way that it secretly becomes a galaxy-level car crash, thanks largely in part to the legendary performance of Raúl Juliá. The man had one foot in the grave and turned in a performance that's not even so bad it's good, more like so great it's perfect. M Bison is the best part of the entire film as Juliá elevates the cliche and mundane dialogue to the level of a god, everything he says is gold. Van Damme as Guile seems perfect as does most of the other casting choices but they can't bring the same level of Shakespearean excellence to their roles that Juliá delivers in spades, it's a well-cast picture but they all pale in comparison to that of a god. Steven E. de Souza's Street Fighter certainly has its charm through all the disorientating editing, uneven story and pervasive electronic score; it offers bright colourful action, hammy entertainment and so many campy one-liners. I love it.

Amazing movie. Little Mermaid could have taken some pointers from this live action masterpiece.

As for Jean-Claude, it's a tough stretch for him to play a figurine from an arcade game but, why, he almost manages to be convincing.

Seattle Times

While de Souza's arrested development makes him a likely suspect to adapt a video game for movies, the result (like The Super Mario Brothers movie before it) is an empty exercise in hyper-stimulation. Or, to put it bluntly, a complete waste of time.

Rated: 0.5/4

David Kronke

Los Angeles Times

De Souza's wit, which gave his earlier action scripts a tart edge, has failed him here. He pitches this entire movie at the sub-literate set that, with glassy eyes, unthinkingly pumps quarter after quarter into video games.

Street Fighter doesn’t exactly scream quality entertainment. However, there is just something stylishly bad about the whole farrago.

This is probably one of the worst things I have ever seen. Even as a kid, I thought it was bad. I never want to watch this again.

This was painful to watch. All of the "storylines" felt incredibly forced, the cinematography was not handled well and everyone just seemed miserable.
