Street Fighter II: The Animated Movie Trailers

Bison, the ruthless leader of the international terrorist organization Shadowlaw, has been desperately searching for the greatest fighter on the planet for years. He finds it in Ryu, a young wanderer who never stays in one place long enough for Bison to find him. He does, however, get a fix on Ken Masters, an American martial arts champion who studied with Ryu as a child under the same master. Meanwhile, Major Guile of the United States Army is forced to team up with Chun Li from China in hopes of apprehending Bison and putting a stop his international ring of crime.

I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

I didn’t really have many expectations going into the movie (good or bad), but I actually really enjoyed it. I really liked the characters and the banter between them.

i really enjoyed this animated movie based on the video game of the same name.i thought the animation was good,and i liked the story.there's also a great back story that's really useful to the viewer up to speed,if that aren't already familiar with the history of the characters.the characters(especially the main ones) were interesting and had some depth and development.the action scenes were great.the voice acting was good all around.this is definitely not for young kids.there is some nudity and a bit of language,and it is violent,thought i have seen much worse.for me,StreetFighter II:The Animated movie is an 8/10

I had huge expectations with this one as I am a huge Street Fighter fan. However, I am fairly disappointed.The plusses are few; the story is OK, and pretty much all characters are there, although most of them are in a special appearance. There is some good music and some good action scenes. And of course, Chun Li looks pretty and her nude scene (uncut version) will be a treat for every heterosexual male.However the negatives are plenty. The movie is too boring and could be easily trimmed by 20-25 minutes. Ryu and Ken miss each other like hell but when they do meet up, it seems like they don't really care. Guile is very annoying, he plays the "bully" whereas M.Bison irritates to the hilt. The characters are largely annoying whether that is their voices or "character" in the movie.The live movie starring Van Damme was much better than this.

I am a big fan of the Street Fighter II video games. If anyone wanted an alternate source for the title other than the game and the live action movie then this is your great alternative! All of the classic characters are in it! M. Bison, Ryu, Ken, Blanka, Zangief, T. Hawk, Chun-Li, Sagat, Vega, Guile, E. Honda, Fei Long, Dhalsim, Cammy, DeeJay, Vega, and Balrog! In My opinion all of the characters look exactly like they do in the video game. The male characters look super and the female fighters look absolutely gorgeous! The animation is so crisp and clean! I have read that are two versions but I have seen the American version. This film may not be suitable for youngsters because of the minor language such as "hell" and "damn" and blood coming from the characters' wounds. Another is a very surprising scene where Chun-Li is taking a shower and then she puts on a night gown type shirt and some underwear and when she fights Vega you see this and even though that this may be uncalled for in an animated feature but I thought it was cute and animated very realistically. More on that in a second. Another thing was the music. Really music though out the entire film! M. Bison and his men were really introduced properly. It was like this was a real movie. One thing to explain is when Chun-Li was in her apartment minding her own business after she got out of the shower and Vega just came barging in. I really liked the fight between Chun-Li and Vega! That scene was really animated well. Another is near the end when M. Bison, Ryu, and Ken are fighting. I believe that the fight scenes in this feature are some of the greatest fight scenes I've seen and I'm commenting on an animated movie! The fighting in the animated feature is simply amazing and I really liked how realistic everything was! If you like the Street Fighter II video games and the Street Fighter live action movie with Jean Claude-Van Damme and the late great Raul Julia (which by the way I think Julia's role as M. Bison was arguably his greatest ever!) then I strongly recommend that you watch this movie now!

I love watching certain scenes from this animated romp through videogame-land. Frankly, you don't often see better fight scenes than the hotel fight between Chun-Li and Vega. Amazing!The film isn't as bloody or gory as you'd expect (the level of gore being probably along the same lines as Batman: Mask of the Phantasm). That being said, neither was the video game. They did a good job of creating a storyline which didn't try and pack too much in, although I get the feeling some of the work got lost in the translation.There are some other classic quotes in the film, many centering around E. Honda and Ryu. All in all, an entertaining film, even if you're not a fan of the video games, however, it's still not for everyone. Really, unless you're a fan of cheezy anime, you may not want to watch this movie. Still, it ranks as one of my favourites in the genre. Much better than the Tekken or Battle Arena: Toshinden movies.Instead of wasting your time on the live-action Van Damme movie (poor Roshan Seth and Raul Julia should never have been associated with trash like that), check out this fun little film.
