Despite remaining the subject of intense debate by fans of the Capcom video game on which it’s based, the Jean-Claude Van Damme punch-em-up Street Fighter returns to DVD with an array of supplemental features, many of which may seem very familiar to anyone who’s owned previous DVD releases of this title. The film itself, directed by screenwriter Steven (Die Hard) de Souza, remains an amusing camp exercise, buoyed largely by the presence of Raul Julia in his final film role as mad dictator General Bison, who holds a trio of soldiers for ransom. Coming to the rescue is a bleached-blond Van Damme and a team of fighters, including Chun-Li (Ming-Na), Sagat (Wes Studi), Cammy (Kylie Minogue) and other characters from the Street Fighter rogues’ gallery. De Souza’s decision to weave humor into the storyline hobbles the impact of the fight scenes, which are largely relegated to the final third of the film, and budgetary restraints render some characters--most notably Robert Mammone’s Blanka--as laughable caricatures. The result is probably appalling for Street Fighter die-hards, though most audiences seem to regard it as a camp hoot. That status may account for this Extreme Edition, although the tie-in factor with the 2009 theatrical release Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun-Li should be taken into consideration as well. Those who own the 1999 Collector’s Edition DVD of this title will already have most of the extras featured here, including commentary by de Souza, a making-of featurette, outtakes, deleted scenes, storyboard and video game sequences (the latter featuring likenesses of Van Damme and Julia) and a barrage of promotional images. The only features that are new to the Extreme Edition are the sharp anamorphic transfer, which is a vast improvement over the previous release, and a trio of trailers for the Street Fighter IV game and Street Fighter IV feature-length anime. --Paul Gaita

 Classic June 28, 2009
Joshua Hoffman (USA)
I have to say in regards to other views that this movie is good for what you pay for. Ever since i was a child i watched this movie and loved it. It is one of the best street fighter movies around. Van Dman always does a good job, and there is good action and the story is pretty good as well.
If you like action and Van Damn, i reccommend this.
 One of the Worst Movies Ever! Literally! May 17, 2009

The humiliating label of "worst movie ever" gets thrown around a lot, but Street Fighter truly deserves to be included in the list of worst movies ever. It's so bad, it's its own unique brand of bad. I mean, not only is it inept and stupid, it's just plain strange. From beginning to end, everything about this movie is strange, stupid and inept. Bewilderingly strange and bewilderingly stupid. A "what were they thinking?" curiousness pervades this whole movie. It's a movie that can only be tolerated in small doses it's so bad. I've never watched this movie once straight through from beginning to end. I think if I did I would end up looking like Blanka. Someone please put this film out of its misery and quite re-releasing it on DVD.
 A classic for all the wrong reasons May 4, 2009

This is my first blu ray review I don't review movies that much. I will say I like this movie for Rual Julia performance and JCVD as a decent Guile. If I was on hand making this movie I would have made the 20 Billon to go twords his psycho drive that's why he would hold hostages Ken was abducted and brain washed by Bison Ryu has to fight him. Charlie was killed at the beginning of the movie Guile goes and fights him Ken comes back to normal in the part where Bison has his psycho power I would have Bison dominate Guile Ken & Ryu save him. Guile, Ryu & Ken team up and defeat Bison. Somewhat like the anime film which is a lot better. This movie ain't the worse of all time I could name 4, 2 of which were video game films & the other 2 made by Warren Beatty. I give it a 4/10 anything under a 5 I don't recommend but any thing over a 7 is a must have. The fault of SFTM goes to the idiot who gave Steven DeSouza 1 night to write a film script. Want worse go see Double Dragon or Super Mario. Becuse there even worse.
No Good!!!!!! April 26, 2009

This movie is on my all time worst list. It quite possibly had some of the worst acting i've ever seen by Jean Claude and the rest of the cast. It seemed as if the casting director just put anyone he owed a favor to in parts to fufill favors he owed. The script was cheesy, even for a chidrens movie and the final fight seen didnt help the movies cause either. Guile faced off with M. Bison in one of the worst fighting sequences ive ever seen. In a corny manner, they used their signature moves and off course Guile won as the building as about to blow up. Although i was only 10 when the movie came out, i was able to recognize pure crap when i saw it. My recommendation is to not buy it. Instead, try one of the animated video if you havent already done so.
Street Fighter Blu-ray [Steve Sap Review] April 3, 2009
Steve Sap (Charlotte, NC USA)
LOL. What can I say about this movie. I'm not a Street Fighter fan but I respect the fighting franchise. My all time favorite is Mortal Kombat...Not to get off subject. When I watch this movie when I was young I thought this movie was serious action movie. But now I watch it, it was a comedic movie. I'm saying that because of the actors I mean the whole movie funny, the movie had nothing but humor in it. So it's true when they say watch a movie when you get older and you'll understand it more. But the quality of the movie is great (9/10) even though it's an old movie the transfer to blu-ray was phenomenal. Of course none of the special features are in high definition besides the Street Fighter IV trailers.
