TALK HARD: STREET FIGHTER 2 - Good Video Game Movie?

The Talk Hard team kicks it into high gear for AniMay with a discussion of STREET FIGHTER 2 (1994)

The animated adaptation of the popular video game is highly regarded and with a new live action film arriving later in 2026.

In this animated film, M. Bison (Jôji Nakata), leader of the international crime syndicate Shadowlaw, is recruiting the world's greatest fighters. Bison targets Japanese fighting master Ryu (Kôjirô Shimizu), who possesses gravity-defying abilities. Unable to coerce Ryu, Bison captures and converts Ken Masters (Kenji Haga), an ex-classmate who shares Ryu's fighting style. Meanwhile, Chun-Li (Miki Fujitani) of Interpol teams with an American soldier (Masatane Tsukayama) to crush Shadowlaw.
