Plots(1)
Ryu, Chun-Li, Sagat, and other combatants from the popular video game "Street Fighter II" come to life in all their kickboxing glory. Gen. M. Bison, the villainous ruler of Shadaloo, is holding over 60 relief workers hostage. When the Allied Nations forces, led by handsome redhead Col. Guile, decide to pay Bison a ransom instead of overthrowing him, Guile objects, and is fired. Never one to take things lightly, Guile rounds up a multi-cultural band of expert "street fighters", and sets out to defeat the nefarious Bison. (official distributor synopsis)

A cult-classic, though not exactly brilliant, it is one of the most famous films with Jean-Claude Van Damme. There isn't as much action as there should be and, on the contrary, there is an abundance of chatter. But the self-parody and several interesting references and winks occasionally make you smile, realising that they didn't take everything so seriously after all. Furthermore, towards the end, Van Damme showcases some great kicks and flips, so that's a small plus.

That's all I'll give it, even though my lustful eyes feasted on the ravishing Kylie. I could simply put on a clip with her and I wouldn’t have to watch this botched and boring Van Damme flick.

Such craziness, which is not that bad in execution, even though one might think so based on the time of its creation. If there are any tricks, they are not nearly as bad as one might think. I quite like that it's such a crazy costume, where things go haywire and it actually turns out quite well. Nothing groundbreaking, but a nice hour and a half of entertainment, yes.
