I love watching certain scenes from this animated romp through videogame-land. Frankly, you don't often see better fight scenes than the hotel fight between Chun-Li and Vega. Amazing!
The film isn't as bloody or gory as you'd expect (the level of gore being probably along the same lines as Batman: Mask of the Phantasm). That being said, neither was the video game. They did a good job of creating a storyline which didn't try and pack too much in, although I get the feeling some of the work got lost in the translation.
There are some other classic quotes in the film, many centering around E. Honda and Ryu. All in all, an entertaining film, even if you're not a fan of the video games, however, it's still not for everyone. Really, unless you're a fan of cheezy anime, you may not want to watch this movie. Still, it ranks as one of my favourites in the genre. Much better than the Tekken or Battle Arena: Toshinden movies.
Instead of wasting your time on the live-action Van Damme movie (poor Roshan Seth and Raul Julia should never have been associated with trash like that), check out this fun little film.
