Street Fighter (1994)



Truth be told, this post has been in the works for the better part of three weeks (I've been busy, bro), which, sadly, is more time than Steven E. de Souza and company spent making this garbage.


Jean-Claude Van Damme turns in a completely
forgettable performance as Colonel Guile, while the late Raul Julia, seemingly trying to compensate for Van Damme's flatness, completely overacts. The man's portrayal of M. Bison is so unnecessarily dramatic, so evil, that it is fit for Shakespearean Theatre.

Watch this to see what I'm talking about.



And what the hell was up with Blanka? The movie builds up to his grand appearance, teasing us along the way, and when we finally see him, it looks like someone painted a starving Somalian green and slapped an orange wig on his head. Honestly, they would've been better off taking old footage of Lou Ferrigno as the Hulk and coloring in the orange hair.

In other words, THIS MOVIE IS AWESOME! Plus, any movie that ends in a freeze frame is great in my book. And Street Fighter has arguably the best freeze frames ever.
