Article Summary

  • Paramount has unveiled a new Street Fighter behind-the-scenes featurette focused on the team's passion for the games.
  • The Street Fighter video highlights iconic moves from the games and teases how those attacks will look on screen.
  • Cast and crew discuss being longtime Street Fighter fans and their goal of delivering an accurate adaptation.
  • The latest Street Fighter marketing suggests the movie understands the franchise and aims to be a fun crowd-pleaser.

If you didn't already know, since the marketing has been leaning on this point so hard, we're in danger of something essential breaking, the people who are making the new Street Fighter movie really love the source material and really want to get this right. That's probably the right move, considering this film needs to set itself apart from something like Mortal Kombat. So while that is taking this about as seriously as one can get with a premise as dumb as Mortal Kombat, this new Street Fighter movie is clearly here for a good and accurate time. A new behind-the-scenes featurette shows off a ton of the old game moves and how they'll be presented on screen, and also features the cast and crew talking about how big fans they are and how much they want to get this right. There's a dumb line you need to walk here, and it does appear, if the marketing is anything to go by, that Street Fighter knows what it is. Now it just has to come together enough to be an entertaining film.
