I don't remember much cuz I remember being disappointed by it... But this line has gotta be the best:

Chun Li: My father saved his village at the cost of his own life. You had him shot as you ran away. A hero at a thousand paces!
Bison: I'm sorry... I don't remember any of it.
Chun Li: You don't remember?!
Bison: For you, the day Bison graced your village was the most important day of your life. But for me... it was Tuesday.

Yep, I remember that line pretty well once I read it over.

Did you see it on Starz or something? Or do you own it?

guile: all dead

guile: i didn't give you an interview when i was alive. what makes you think i would give you one when i'm dead?

guile: i'm going to kick that son of a bitch bison's ass so hard, that the next bison wannabe is gonna feel!

I just remembered, that's all... But now I'm prompted to see this...

Here's another line:

Guile (Nash beat me to it): "Troopers! I have just received new orders. Our superiors say the war is cancelled, and we can all go home. Bison is getting paid off for his crimes, and our friends will have died here... will have died for nothing. But... we can all go home. Meanwhile, ideals like these - freedom, and justice - they get packed up. But... we can all go home. Well... I'm not going home. I'm gonna get on my boat, and I'm going up-river, and I'm going to kick that son-of-a-bitch Bison's ass so HARD... that the next Bison wanna-be is gonna feel it. Now who wants to go home... and who wants to go with ME!"

"It's the Collection Agency, Bison. Your ass is six months over due, and it's mine!"

And watch out for Ming-Na's... I mean Chun-li's kick!!!

Yes, it's about time that someone has recognized the unintentional humor of this movie. SFTM does the game more harm than justice, but it was just so damn corny that it is great for laughs. As long as you don't take the movie seriously, it's great to watch. I still love watching it from time to time.

It sucks that this was Raul Julia's last movie before his untimely death, but man... he really hammed it up in SF: The Movie. Especially that one part where Chun-Li kicks the crap out of him in his quarters, then he runs in the other room while she and her friends are getting gassed. The look on his face while they're choking is PRICELESS.

It's funny to me how everyone was morphing into their SF2 incarnations towards the end of the movie.

Balrog, the camera man all of a sudden busts out with shorts and some boxing gloves. WTF???

Ken's gee, apparently is a Shadowloo training outfit. You ain't fooling me, "Blood n' Blood out," essay guy.

Dee Jay was a joke. Severance pay, my @$$.

I like Wes Studi. Not as Sagat, though. He should have been a wise T.Hawk in the movie. The Last of the Mohichans, in the flesh. They should of hired, Ton Po, from the original, Kickboxer for the part.

Anyway, the movie didn't do the game justice. Should have been revolved around a tournament storyline just like the game. Could of used the, "Bloodsport," backbone and been somewhat of a decent movie. Damn shame, this was Raul Julia's last movie.

"Charlie what have then done to you?" -Guile

Turned me into one ugly mofo with bad make-up, dumbass.

it was funny to see deejay in there just for the sake of rounding out the character roster.
But by that logic they shoulda had Fei-Long and T. Hawk but nope...

BTW, Zangief, who was fighting Shadowloo's influence on Russia, was working FOR them? That had me laughing.

Dhalsim the scientist? LOL.

Blanka is Charlie, eh? :rolleyes:

E-honda was Hawaiian? That was funny too.

E-honda, Balrog, and Chun-Li are REPORTERS?? ROTFLMAO!

I wanna see it again...

I've only seen pieces of it on cable, most of the last 30 minutes or so, and it had me laughing so hard I nearly wept. I keep meaning to watch the whole thing. Now that enough time has passed, I'm sure I'll love it. It's the animated movie that still pisses me off. I'm a lot more forgiving of something irredeamably bad than I am of something that's almost good.

T. Hawk is in the film. He's a member of the UN Force. I don't think he's ever ACTUALLY spoken to as "T Hawk" but he's credited as such, and he's the only blatantly Native American guy in the movie.

I was really excited when this came out when I was a small kid... my unlcle took me to see it, I thought vicariously he was rad, because he saw it with me.

The best part is easily when Van Damme did the Hurricane kick on Bison.

van damme's 360 spin kick is teh coolest action hero signature move!

i also liked van damme's breakdancing windmill move he used to trip bison and get up off the floor at the same time.

It was Street Fighter The Movie or Dumb and Dumber, and I was 8 at the time, so Street Fighter won.

I LOVE this movie. Its fucking horrible, but I still love it.

"Gregg Rainwater .... T. Hawk "

Now for quotes from IMDB:

Bison: You have made me a very happy man.
Colonel William F. Guile: And next, I'll make you a dead one.

Ken: I'm sorry I talked you into this.
Ryu: I'm sorry I listened.

Colonel William F. Guile: Four years of ROTC for this shit

(one of my favorites)
Bison: What's the matter? You come to fight a madman, and instead find a god? Do you still refuse to accept my godhood? Keep your God! In fact, now may be a good time to pray to Him! For I beheld Satan as he came down from Heaven!


If Van Damme makes a sequal I will love him forever.
(and wtf, Akuma isnt in the home version of the game, but captain Sawada is? There is no justice)

LOL, I remember this movie! At first, I thought it was the coolest movie yet but looking at it now, it's pretty weak. It made me mad when Ryu did his fireball but it was weak like a mutha! Thinking about some of the stuff in that movie makes me laugh now because the special effects were weak! Anyway, how did Raul Julia die? I remember he was in a Shakespear play some time ago and he was good in that!

Oh man... that one is totally fucked up!!

The crew is mixed up, Guile is used as a Broom... they eat CDs....and Chun Li's mother.....

But atleast.... the fighting part is better than SF the movie.....
