Street Fighter 2.0

That is sooo great.

I had no idea City Hunter went into that much depth with the Street Fighter references! I thought Chan just dressed up as them! I need to add this to my nerdy, Asian cinema library.

Why can't anyone learn from this?

If we didn’t keep this movie grounded, we would risk turning Street Fighter into a parody of itself. And to those of us who are fans of fighting franchises, the last thing we want is a movie that doesn’t take itself seriously.

Furthermore, the infamous Street Fighter sequence pays tribute to Wong Jing's other favorite pastime: video games. It's great that he likes them, but when he references them in such god-awful ways (see this or Future Cops) you wish he would just stay away. (Kozo 1994/1999)

Translation: Yes, probably. Also, good purchase.

The same guy also made Future Cops, which has EVEN MORE Street Fighter references and also Goku.

Normally I'm not given to hyperbole, but there are times when I refer to Future Cops as THE WORST FILM EVER MADE. I'm sure there are people who disagree with me, and consider the film a guilty pleasure which can be mindless entertaining fun. Well, if you're one of those people, then good for you! I hope never to meet you. (Kozo 1996/2003)

Translation: Also probably a good purchase.

Both probably are better than this Street Fighter movie will ever be.

I just watched a few clips of Future Cops on Youtube. Holy shit.

Oh my sweet Baby Jesus doing a 180 ollie off a hot tin roof.........


The sad thing is that it will still be better than whatever they are putting together now......
