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 Colonel Guile, an Allied Nations commando who leads an elite team of street fighters. The late Raul Julia, dressed in dictator-ego getup, is the evil and crazy General M. Bison, who, of course, has an evil plan for world domination. This is a no-holds-barred action martial arts epic that is sure to please fans of both the video game and Van Damme.
