Street Fighter is the movie version of the popular video game of the same name.  The story revolves around a master criminal, last name of Bison, who has captured Allied Nations relief workers and is ransoming them for an exorbitant amount of money.  Bison is a madman who has appointed himself Dictator and General of a country that doesn't exist yet but will as soon as the money comes in from the simpering Allied Nations.  Out to stop him are A.N. Colonel Guile and his troops, and a rag-tag trio who all want to see Bison dead.  Thrown into the mix are another two staple characters from the game that get caught up in the conflict.

This movie is pure and utter cheese.  It's aimed at a younger audience than the group that badmouths it.  It's full of corny dialog, hair-brained schemes, and lots of crazed performances that are totally tongue in cheek.  The locations are nice and the sets interesting.  The fight choreography is fairly simplistic and so is the plot.  Still it is a great bad movie to stare at in utter disbelief or heckle like crazy.  People say it is such a shame that it was Raul Julia's final film before his death but it looks like he enjoyed every minute of it.  It is certainly a fun film for the younger crowd, the less discerning, and anyone who loves a really bad B-movie.
