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.

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

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.

Rated: 3/5

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.

As a Van Damme and Streetfighter fan, this is awful. It has nothing to do with a fighting tournament like the classic game, nothing to do with street fighting full stop, the characters are awful (Sagat, Dhalsim and M.Bison anyone?) and stars Kylie Minogue. Enough said.

Totally insufferable with no redeeming qualities. Every line in this movie feels like cats scratching a blackboard.

I love this movie, loved it as a kid and still love it now. The actors they picked to play the characters are a 10/10. Jean is great as Guile, all the characters are awsome. Great movie and very funny.

It's not good don't get me wrong. But its so campy that it ends up being entertaining. Also Raul Julia's performance as Bison is 100/10 stars

Say what you will, Street Fighter might get a lot of hate and crap talk against it but it's still a fun watch and one of the best video game Adaptions ever, and plus Jean-Claude Van Damme starred in this one!!!!

Rated 4 out of 5 stars
