Article Summary

  • Paramount Pictures has unveiled a new Street Fighter special look featuring a high-energy showdown between Ryu and Blanka.
  • The latest Street Fighter footage leans into the franchise’s wild, over-the-top tone instead of aiming for grounded realism.
  • Blanka’s visual effects look a bit unfinished in places, but the overall fight clip still sells the movie’s chaotic fun.
  • Street Fighter heads into a crowded October box office, with the new preview highlighting the film’s arcade-style action.

The new Street Fighter movie continues to look like one of the dumbest things that will turn up in movie theaters this year, and that is in no way a bad thing. That is exactly the vibes that this film should be shooting for, and so far, it really seems like they are nailing it. However, October is a busy month, and people have a sour taste in their mouths from the previous movies that haven't been able to walk that line for this property to work. A new special look was recently released, with a look at a fight between Ryu and Blanka. While the VFX for Blanka is a bit rough, the hair is always a dead giveaway; it doesn't really matter that much because this is so ridiculous and not taking itself too seriously.
