Street Fighter II brings the characters to life in a compelling and dramatic manner, succeeding where its live-action American counterpart, Street Fighter, failed.

The fighting scenes were created with the help of legendary Japanese fighter Kazuyoshi Ishii, giving the battles a unique and realistic feel. Simply put, if you're a fan of the series and haven't seen the movie, you need to.

Rated: 8/10

... although this won't challenge your intelligence, this film stands head and shoulders above the live-action, Jean-Claude Van Damme fiasco.
