I am a person who truly believes that some movies are just meant to be fun, but this just looks dumb.

 

[HRK69]

Looks like dumb fun. I'm in.

 

[Hollowpoint5557]

Looks cheeks, I'm out.

 

[Little Mac]

Felt like I just watched the whole thing.

 

[Germuso]

Please bitch

 

[DreamcastSkies]

No GOATlex?

 

[Kikorin]

Never complain about Super Mario Movie anymore.

Yeeeesss, finally it's my turn to post

 

[xanaum]

Looks like there's no way to make a Street Fighter live-action without it being cringe. Feels like if someone gets that the movie doesn't take itself seriously, they might actually enjoy it.

 

[GymWolf]

What the fuck they did to my boy ken?

 

[098878051651]

Taking a martial arts IP and turning it into camp bullshit is such a lazy approach. Any hack can degrade the material. These guys were never even interested in making something good because it wouldn't have been easy enough

 

[thefool]

There's already a perfect SF movie. You could just try to expand it



This one looks a bit schlocky. Will eventually watch it because i'm curious but with no expectations

 

[DreamcastSkies]

Dhalsim looks great, to be honest

 

[lughnasadh123]

Cammy toe is back on the menu, boys!

Started off rough but my wtf face started smiling a lot halfway through. I think this one is going to be a lot more enjoyable to watch as a whole rather than just snippets of scenes. They nailed the kinda serious, kinda funny, kinda stupid in all the right ways.

 

[saintjules]

Accurate

 

[Chukhopops]

This version of Ken feels so out of place, I thought it was Luke at first. Did Ken really turn that way in the story of 5/6?

Seems a bit too dumb for me but might watch for the action once it's on streaming.

 

[roosnam1980]

jon bravo with dyed hair would have been better as guile

 

[Von Hugh]

Andrew Koji was excellent in Warrior. I'll watch this.

 

[xrnzaaas]

Couldn't make it to the end, I was laughing at Guile but the music made it unbearable.

 

[Sintoid]

So bad... it's bad

 

[Mayar]

It feels like it was directed by YouTube (especially the special effects budget), starring a bunch of cosplayers, and someone from Paramount and Capcom saw it and said, "Oh yeah, this looks good, let's give it the green light."...

 

[winjer]

This looks terrible, in the worst kind of way. It's not even funny.

Street Fighter the movie 1994 was bad, but in a very funny way. It also had good things going for it, such as Raul Julia and Andrew Bryniarski.

 

[The Cockatrice]

Not as big as the OG but

 

[MrRibeye]

Hahaha yes! YES! We're getting a new Mortal Kombat film, and a new Street Fighter film, I just hope that the recent announcement of a new Dead or Alive game will also lead to a new Dead or Alive film full of cringe writing.

 

[FalsettoVibe]

So stupid looking......day one.

 

[Davevil]

 

[ChuckeRearmed]

Attractive women in the movie? I am shocked.

Looks fun though. A bit crazy maybe.

 

[Generic]

No Van Damme = flop

Yeah, I'm in for Cammy [face_drooling]

 

[Moochi]

It looks like it captures the tone and camp of the Street Fighter world perfectly. The cast is dead on. I dont know if it'll be a great movie, but it cant be worse than the Van Damme Street Fighter.

 

[adamsapple]

Looks profoundly dumb.

 

[Joe Cool]

Part of me wants to watch the trailer out of morbid curiosity alone, but...nahhh.

 

[Lux R7]

looks dumb fun, will watch for sure

 

[Madflavor]

I feel like the people behind this film understood the assignment, and the music is actually perfect. It's a celebration of stupidity, which is perfectly in line with the actual lore and storylines of the game.

If some people had their way, the tone of the film would've been much more serious, which would've clashed with how retarded Street Fighter actually is. Maybe that works for animation, but not for live action. It should lean into the dumb campiness of it all, and just try to show you a good time with fun fights, hot women, and big dudes ripping off their shirts and shooting fireballs. A Street Fighter movie doesn't need to be anything more than that.

 

[Js562]

Doesn't look good at all. Looks like a parody from Saturday night live

 

[Agent_4Seven]

That's some of the shittiest cosplay movie I've ever seen. The modern humor and slang is absolute shit, casting is beyond awful and just overall... UGH. What an absolute disservice to the IP, just like the very first one, but at least it had Kylie.

 

[Space Runaway]

Kind of a mix of stupid, ugly and strangely boring. If there's anything good in the movie those scenes will end up on youtube.

Cast is pretty good indeed, Cammy could be a bit more juicier.

The good thing is that they decided to follow SF6 visual style. Looks just right.

 

[TheKratos]

Will be good fun on streams

 

[intheinbetween]

I'm sorry but I'm already on the hype train, can't wait to watch this.

 

[teokrazia]

Don't know about 'Gief.
I need to watch him with speedos.

 

[flying_sq]

This looks like a lot of fun. I might check it out in theaters. Not taking its self too seriously and embracing the insantiy of the game. Feels like a sunner movie though

 

[March Climber]

This Ryu and Ken and their backstory feel like they might be somewhat based on the "Street Fighter II: V" anime (The V stood for Victory).

Not sure how many people here watched it but here are the similarities:

• Ryu and Ken have fun and adventures in the U.S. as young adults and best friends (like going to bars, singing karaoke, and getting into bar fights)
• Ryu is more grounded, likeable, and relatable rather than the usual 'stoic wandering martial artist seeking better opponents'
• Chun Li was sort of a 'guide' finding fighters and found Ryu and Ken
• Balrog and Vega were much more important/strong characters
• The show treated both Ryu and Ken getting back into their game gi outfits as a big deal.
• The Hadouken itself was treated as a big/hyped moment in the anime when you finally got to see Ryu achieve it

 

[Mobilemofo]

Someone needs to make a 'cheese-o-meter'. Also, the fuck have they done to ken..christ on a bike..

 

[MALpractice311]

For fucks sake, just watch the 1994 anime (the movie, not the series). Stop this shit.

I got all the seasons on dvd still. That scene alone with ryu learning the Hadoken looks better then this trailer. Also the intro for the American version already gets you locked in .

Fuck Yeah! Street Fighter 2 V is awesome!

 

[ChuckeRearmed]

Would be neat if the fighters were more buffed

 

[Sethbacca]

This looks way better than the first trailer, but I'm not expecting much. I'm expecting stupid but fun, kinda like 90s MK movie.
