"A spectacular, fan-driven adaptation that delivers everything a Street Fighter movie should"

Lord M. Bison (David Dastmalchian) hosts the second World Warrior Tournament in 1993, hoping to lure Ryu (Andrew Koji) into a confrontation and steal the mysterious power he possesses.

Ken Masters (Noah Centineo) also enters the tournament, determined to prove himself a better fighter than his estranged brother, Ryu. Alongside a roster of unique opponents, the fighters compete for the title of world’s greatest warrior, unaware of the monster awaiting whoever emerges victorious.

2026’s Street Fighter is quite possibly the greatest video game movie ever made!

This is a Street Fighter movie made entirely by fans of Street Fighter. Director Kitao Sakurai and the entire cast and crew have put nothing less than 100% into delivering the film that fans of this iconic gaming franchise have always wanted.

The adaptation features some of the best casting I’ve ever seen in a video game movie, from Jason Momoa as Blanka, Curtis ’50 Cent’ Jackson as Balrog and Mel Jarnson as Cammy, to WWE Superstars Cody Rhodes as Guile and Roman Reigns as Akuma.

Even Eric André as announcer Don Sauvage and Orville Peck as Vega make their mark. I could go on, but the point is that everyone contributes something to this movie.

That’s another aspect I particularly appreciated. There’s a genuine effort to give every character as much screen time and importance to the story as possible. With such an extensive roster, that’s no small achievement.

The three central performers, Callina Liang as Chun-Li, Andrew Koji as Ryu and Noah Centineo as Ken, are excellent.

My personal favourite, however, has to be David Dastmalchian as Lord M. Bison. He pays tribute to the late, great Raul Julia while still making the role entirely his own.

I also loved the animated flashbacks throughout the movie, which breathe additional life and character into the Street Fighter universe.

The score is spectacular, complemented by a soundtrack featuring plenty of fantastic tracks from the 1990s. It all contributes to the film’s atmosphere and sense of fun.

I’m already praying for a sequel, and I hope Street Fighter encourages even more video game adaptations to make their way to the big screen in the near future.

For fans of the franchise, this is everything you could want from a Street Fighter film. The passion behind the production is evident in every aspect, from its casting and performances to its music and presentation.

Street Fighter is a PERFECT video game movie.
