Hidden Man is the third of actor-director Jiang Wen's comic action films set in the 1930s, after the spectacularly good (and spectacularity lucrative) Let the Bullets Fly (2010) and the wonderfully ambitious if wildly uneven Gone with the Bullets (2014).

I saw the 1994 movie Street Fighter in cinemas as an excited 10-year-old and had a complete blast.

I know it’s objectively a pretty crappy film, but it’s remained a guilty pleasure to this day.
Of course, I’ve read rumors in the past about its troubled production and Van Damme being a prima donna on set, but today The Guardian published an excellent article entitled ”I punched him so hard he cried’: inside the Street Fighter movie‘ that goes behind the scenes to find out what on earth was going through the head of Van Damme during the shoot. As it turns out, we can actually...
