De Souza can be heard on the analog track in a running commentary in which he describes how the film was put together from the video game components and how he mounted the production technically. Side 3, presented in CAV, contains the “making of” featurette, be-hind-the scenes footage, scenes deleted from the film, the complete opening scene news cast footage, a storyboard supported by a re-play of appropriate clips from the film, excerpts from the CAPCOM™ Street Fighter™ games, production photos, theatrical trailers and more.

WSR Narrative Review
Story Synopsis:
Based on the best-selling video game, Street Fighter is a visually stimulating tongue-in-cheek action-adventure parody. Jean-Claude Van Damme stars as an Allied Nations commando and the late Raul Julia is the evil and crazy General M. Bison, who, of course, has an evil plan for world domination.

LaserDisc Picture:
The 2.35:1 picture is sharp and detailed with vivid color, natural fleshtones, and deep, solid blacks. Picture quality is stunning.

LaserDisc Soundtrack:
The Doly Surround soundtrack is aggressively enveloping and dynamic.
