Worst Game-to-Movie Translations 3

'Street Fighter: The Movie' (1994)
While the prospect of Raul Julia and Jean-Claude Van-Damme in the same movie may sound too good to pass up, really...feel free. This one easily takes the cheese award in a genre just swimming in it; In an odd bit of cross-media meta madness, 'Street Fighter: The Movie' was then translated into 1995's 'Street Fighter: The Movie (the game),' which was equally as bad as its cinematic cousin. Avoid that, too. The New York Times described it as a "dreary, overstuffed hodgepodge of poorly edited martial arts sequences and often unintelligible dialogue. As Mr. Van Damme fumbles through his part, you are likely to find yourself staring at the big lump on the right side of his forehead and wondering how it got there." Which, we believe, says it all...

ok if all thes game were so bad then why did all of them sell over ONE MILLION COPIES EACH, MAKE A TOTAL OF 90+ SEQUALS! oh and why did the games all span over 2 or 3 generations? because they were GREAT GAMES...and if they were not great games then why would they make them into movies??

ACTUALLY, though it may just be me, I have a thing for cheaply made, game-to-movie, flicks. I enjoyed myself with this movie, as cheesy as it is. Even Mortal Kombat. Which was 10 times cheesier! Haha. Whatever.

This one is the worst! The next street fighter movie is going to be better. I'm betting on it. Legend of Chun Li!
