Finally! Street Fighter: The Movie coming to Blu-ray

As the last starring vehicle for Raul Julia, Street Fighter: The Movie stands as a lasting testament that, though there may be a benevolent higher power, he doesn't particularly care for Puerto Rican actors. We thought that would be the movie's last, most important lesson, so imagine our surprise to see that it's coming to Blu-ray (in an "Extreme Edition," no less!) to allow a whole new generation to weep for the man who would be Gomez.Can you handle seeing one guy almost, sort of, but not really throw a fireball one time in high-definition? We certainly hope so.

Colonel Guile, the all American-Austrian Martial artiste!
Cammi, is Kylie Mynogue!(sp?)
Bison, with his light up platform shoes and inflatable chest revealing the true form of Phsyco Power.

For us, the day Bison graced our Blu-ray players was the most important day of our lives. But for Bison... it was Tuesday.
MuToiD_MaN @ Nov 12th 2008 4:06PM
I only wish Raul Julia was alive to see this day. Maybe he'd do the Mamushka.
Dirty @ Nov 12th 2008 2:32PM
So bad its good. Is the original TMNT on blu-ray yet?
Dirty @ Nov 12th 2008 2:36PM
Also can you imagine this movie being the last movie you ever made.... man that sucks.
Bearxor @ Nov 12th 2008 2:59PM
Voted down because it wasn't Raul Julia's last movie... Not that the LAST one was really that much better...
Dirty @ Nov 12th 2008 2:59PM
Its was a made for tv movie. It doesn't count.
M @ Nov 12th 2008 11:23PM
The day they release the original TMNT on BD will be awesome.
Shagittarius @ Nov 12th 2008 2:35PM

xFenixKnightx @ Nov 12th 2008 3:49PM
Oh snap, you're right! Death Warrant also!!!
DEEZNUTZ @ Nov 12th 2008 2:48PM
For the love of everything that is good in this world, WHY???
No, seriously, WHY? YouTube is too good for this movie... why waste BD discs on this POS movie?
Vegnagun bwf @ Nov 12th 2008 2:58PM
"Have you lost your mind!?"
"No...you've lost ya balls"
cassiel @ Nov 12th 2008 3:03PM
While I'll admit this is bad, the official sign of the start of the Apocalypse will be complete until they release Double Dragon on Blu Ray.
That piece of trash makes Street Fighter look like Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon.
Metal Geario 360 @ Nov 12th 2008 3:13PM
Double Dragon trash!? ;)
*removes glove, slap slap!*
You sir,
Have no taste in the arts nor film.
So i guess you think Vanilla Ice's, Ninja Rap at the end of TMNT3 is bad as well? Which is the best song ever, to start the day.
*thrusts hips*
go
Go
GO
GO!
Shmil @ Nov 12th 2008 4:09PM
TMNT2:Secret of the ooze, not TMNT 3 where they travel back in time
M @ Nov 12th 2008 11:26PM
Go Ninja go ninja go...
Chin-Poh @ Nov 12th 2008 3:04PM
Oh god, I loved the line where Zangief cried "Change the channel!" as the truck was barreling towards them and they were also watching it on TV. XD
Habiib @ Nov 12th 2008 3:11PM
Bison's psycho-crusher at the end is the best part of the movie.
Batzarro @ Nov 12th 2008 3:13PM
Hey, and destiny's got great plans for Benicio del Toro. I'm not gonna spoil it, but it includes some kind of overdose and Baby Geniuses 3. Damn, said too much already...
Crapshoot @ Nov 12th 2008 3:28PM
"Can you handle seeing one guy almost, sort of, but not really throw a fireball"
This. I couldn't describe it any better, even if i tried (and i did!)
FSK405K @ Nov 12th 2008 3:32PM
As long as it comes with a $24.99 rebate, it might sell.
FOXHOUND @ Nov 13th 2008 12:09AM
The rebate is in non-refundable BISON-dollars.
MuToiD_MaN @ Nov 12th 2008 4:02PM
Game!
OVAAAH!!!!!
deaftly @ Nov 12th 2008 4:18PM
How amazing would it be if this included the sf2 movie game and was playable on ps3.
Yea, not that amazing :\
aj @ Nov 12th 2008 4:24PM
Does anyone remember Street Fighter: The Movie: The Game?
Now THAT was a travesty.
The movie is just good, cheesy fun.
And for more terrible Raul Julia films, try finding the MST3K version of "Overdrawn at the Memory Bank". Classic.
Matt @ Nov 12th 2008 4:53PM
"At least I'm not an *anteater*!"
"Whoa! Big slam on anteaters outta nowhere!"
Kyouryuu @ Nov 12th 2008 7:14PM
If you search for "Overdrawn at the Memory Bank" on YouTube, you can find the complete MST3K episode and a great montage reel if you just want the highlights.
It's such an awesomely terrible movie! XD
Mayne @ Nov 12th 2008 8:05PM
Indeed.
Blu-Sam @ Nov 12th 2008 5:12PM
Finally, you can see how clear to know that movie is horrible.
horngreen @ Nov 12th 2008 5:25PM
Like I needed another reason not to go Blu Ray.
Dan CiTi @ Nov 12th 2008 5:31PM
FUCK YES! BLU-RAYS RULE! THIS WILL BE THE BEST PS3 GAME EVER!
Mayne @ Nov 12th 2008 5:36PM
Curses. I just ponied up and bought it on DVD for $4 back in the spring... NOW they finally decide to make it available to the masses again?
Drink every time someone mispronounces Ryu's name...
Deadpool @ Nov 12th 2008 7:30PM
"Drink every time someone mispronounces Ryu's name..."
Funny that you mention the pronunciation of Ryu's name. Raul Julia is the only one throughout the entire movie that pronounces Ryu's name correctly.
Mayne @ Nov 12th 2008 8:05PM
Precisely!
Actually, if I recall, van Damme actually pronounces it quasi-correctly ONCE... which just makes all the other times he gets it wrong even funnier, and even more drink-worthy.
rememberthename @ Nov 12th 2008 10:54PM
"Colonel,have you lost your mind?"
"No, you lost your baels!"
This movie is genius. XD
MrSpaceCowboy @ Nov 13th 2008 1:18AM
How much is this going to cost in Bison Dollars?
Angry Dave @ Jan 26th 2009 6:25AM
Every Bison-Dollar will be worth 5 British pounds.
Amazon.com are selling it for $20 (about £15).
So 3 Bison-Dollars will get you the movie lol!
