Jean-Claude Van Damme teams with Raul Julia for a thrill-packed adventure on an epic scale from the screenwriter of Die Hard, 48 Hrs. and Commando. Based on the best-selling video game, the film hurtles beyond imagination with explosive action, humor and amazing special effects. 

Directed by Die Hard's Steven E. DeSouza, the story sees Van Damme playing Allied Nations Colonel William F. Guile. He is in charge of the military power sent to the South-East Asian country of Shadaloo to stop the power-mad dictator General M. Bison (Raul Julia), who has taken sixty relief workers hostage and asked for $2 billion in return for their release.  General Bison gives the world only 72 hours to respond to his twisted demands. In that time, Guile must find the captives and confront Bison in an electrifying battle for the fate of the free world. 

The story of this movie is not that impressive, but the fights are good and Jean Claude's cool in his blue shirt.

Trivia about Street Fighter:

• Raul Julia's final film appearance before his death. (Rest In Peace)
• The controls to M. Bison's floating "desk" are identical to the controls of the Street Fighter video game.
• The film includes characters from the video games up to and including Super Street Fighter II: The New Challengers. Most notably absent is Fei Long, the video-game version of Bruce Lee.
• The final scene of all the characters is a real-life recreation of an animation from the video game, where all the characters are on screen at the same time, and do their "win" animation.
• The final amphibious attack on M. Bison's compound, filmed on location in Thailand, was originally supposed to be an air assault. The Thai government wouldn't allow the use of it's airspace for the large number of aircraft the scene would require, so the producers changed the final battle to a boat assault instead.
