Raul Julia was on his last days, during his cancer illness, and he knew this movie is "all over the top", but his kids love the game and he accept the role for them, despite severe pain, so i wouldn't be so harsh on him in a fight scenes, this man love his kids so much that gave them this present on his last days and i think this act of love deserve to be recognized and appreciated.
Just D8vid2 he said the reason for the choppiness of the fight at the end was because he couldn’t keep up with jcvd. It’s because he was dying. I don’t think you watched it
@@miklorr "He couldn't keep up with jcvd". JCVD was in his prime at that time and nobody could keep up with him so saying Raul Julia could not keep up was not a reference to his illness. I was listening for Jeremy to say things like "the late Raul Julia" or just mention his illness and he didn't.
Raul Julia was a real hero making this movie, he already knew he was diagnosed with terminal pancreatic cancer but did this movie anyway because his kids loved Street Fighter and wanted it to be his final gift for them. And boy he acted the crap out of the movie, went so over the top in an awesome way.
Fact is he almost didn't finish the movie at all, and he died not long after filming was completed. They shot all his scenes first, so that they were sure they had them, as Raul told them they had to. And yes, he did do this movie for his kids. A guy with so much heart. Even van Damme remembers him fondly, even though he was high on cocaine every day of filming.
@@sauloborges8747 cause it's the most satisfying burn anyone can say to anyone. As Bison made it clear that was Chun li most defining moment while for him its just another day.
@@sauloborges8747 They aren't making fun of it. They are praising it for how awesome it is. It's this golden gem of a comeback line and sick burn. We LOVE the line, it so perfectly encompasses the idea of "I don't give a shit about your problems, they are so beneath me." in 6 words. And there is some truth to it really. A tyrannical dictator like Bison, WOULD do stuff like burn villages to the ground, on a regular basis. He'd never remember all of it, it was just a step along a path to his goal. To the people in the village though, it WOULD be one of the single most defining moments of their lives. So it's completely realistic in it's concept, and absolutely brutal in it's execution by Mr. Julia. We're not making fun of it, we are paying it, and him, the ultimate homage. That line will be quoted by film nerds, for DECADES.
Raul Julia was on the making of the movie interview saying he wanted to do the role because his sons were big fans of the game, it’s kinda touching because he knew he was about to kick the bucket . Best memory of a father ever !!
Greatest movie speech ever "Troopers! I have just received new orders. Our superiors say the war is cancelled, and we can all go home. Bison is getting paid off for his crimes, and our friends will have died here... will have died for nothing. But... we can all go home. Meanwhile, ideas like peace, freedom and justice - they get packed up. But... we can all go home. Well... I'm not going home. I'm gonna get on my boat, and I'm going up-river, and I'm going to kick that son-of-a-bitch Bison's ass so HARD... that the next Bison wanna-be is gonna feel it. Now who wants to go home... and who wants to go with ME"
More accurate transcription: TROPERS! Ahy'ved jus received new oardes. Oar supeeriors seh, the woar is cahncelled, and we canal go hoam. Bisen is getting peyd off for his craims.

Now who wants to go hoam... and who wants to go with MEEH?!
So Raul Julia was my great uncle, my cousins who new him told me that the reason he took up street fighter was because at this point he knew he was dying, and he saw how much his children, nephews, all there friends loved playing street fighter, and he wanted to do a movie for them. And because he new this would be his last performance, he gave it every ounce of energy and joy that he had. Resulting in one of the most memorable performances - Ever
Like he says, the best burn ever from Raul Julia’s M. Bison: “For you, the day Bison graced your village was the most important day of your life. But for me, it was Tuesday.”
To add insult to that line, Chun Li not long after that line told him that it was on a Wednesday. So Bison gave so little of a shit of Chun Li’s tragedy that he couldn’t even remember the right day.
You watch Streetfigther for Raul Julia as Bison..... “You came to fight a madman and now you face a god” R.I.P. Raul your light was put out far to early.
There have been LOTS of Japanese animated Street Fighter movies. Almost ALL of them are great. But none have the amount of cheese as the live action. And none of them are as memorable.
Raul Juliá was my mother’s cousin. Although I sadly never had the chance to meet him like the rest of my family, I grew up hearing all about him, and he has certainly been a huge influence in my life. Hearing Jeremy give him such high praise makes me happy beyond belief :)
Carlos Sanchez Man, that is cool that a relative of Juliá’s saw this. I hope his kids know that their father’s last movie, that he did for them, continues to live on and be appreciated. It’s brought joy to so many!
He was one of the greatest actors of my generation. Moon over parador, Tequila Sunrise,Even the original Addams family. He will be surely be missed bro.
@@MrBoyYankee Agreed. He completely stole Tequila Sunrise and just about every scene in the Addams Family movies, (the train scene in TAF & the police station scene in AFV still have me in tears laughing to this day) he was an amazing actor. "But you belong to Debbie! You're Debbie's love toy! You are *Mr. Debbie*!" He was supposed to play Bucho in Desperado, while I love Joaquim de Almeida in the role, I know Raul would've been awesome in that role too. :) RIP Raul.
I remember watching this film as a kid and going *"OOF!"* at the "It was Tuesday" line. As Jeremy said, Raul Julia elevates this film and, for me, he is what makes it memorable.
I Still Adore this Film for what they tried to accomplish. This was a big risk and in my opinion it works. I LOVE THIS STREET FIGHTER MOVIE. JCVD is still the Man🥃👌🏿😎💯
Finding this out by looking at the comments, it just warms my heart that he did that and left quite an impression on a movie that wouldn't have been the same without him when you look back on it.
@@travisc7722 yeah its said his son was like a street fighter super fan and when he found out Raul was offered the part of Bison, he begged his father to accept. So Raul spent his final days filming a movie based on a game his son loved.
Watch "Fact Friends Raúl Juliá Appeared in Street Fighter." It made me think about about this movie in a whole different way. It was his dying act for his children. So heart wrenching.
6:16 That Tuesday quote from Bison is legendary. It's funny the moment I saw this in my inbox, I immediately said: "Dammit, Jeremy, this is great but it would've been perfect if you uploaded this on a Tuesday." and then Jeremy mentions it himself at 6:27 lol love this review, Jeremy, Street Fighter: The Movie is one of my guilty pleasures, I can't help but quote this movie everytime I rewatch it hehe. I do think after Bison, Guile & Zangief had the most memorable lines though, for me anyway. Zangief's "That was beautiful." & "Quick, change the channel!" are some of my favorites lol 😂😂😂 I was also hoping that Jeremy would mention that Ming-Na Wen played Chun-Li in this film, she was Melinda May from Marvel's Agents of Shield too. R.I.P. Raul Julia.
The Tuesday line is the best part of this movie. Guile actually did have a pretty badass line. "I'm going to get in my boat, I'm going down that river, and I'm going to kick Bison's ass so hard that the next Bison wannabe is gonna feel it." In the hands of a better actor, that line could've been gold.
I remember my friends and I at the time were just happy that Ming Na-Wen was able to give us a Chun-Li who looks right and that Jean-Claude Van Damme gave us a Guile who was able to do a flash kick. Raul Julia's M Bison had some great lines and it really does make you realize how bland Legend of Chuin-Li was. Street Fighter II: The Animated Movie (1994) is still the best interpretation of the video game. B~)
I remember those UA-cam joints man I wish that group got a big Hollywood budget and could make their own film with that style, emotion and dedication. STREET FIGHTER 4EVER🤜🏿👊🏿👊🏿💪🏿🦶🏿🦶🏿🦶🏿👊🏿🤛🏿🤛🏿🤛🏿👊🏿🤜🏿🤜🏿👊🏿🦶🏿🦶🏿👊🏿💯🥃😎
"I wish they made a Street Fighter movie more like Street Fighter" You have to review Street Fighter Assassin's Fist, I think you will be pleasantly surprised
It levitates bullet trains from Tokyo to Osaka. It levitates my desk, where I ride the saddle of the world, and it levitates... *me.* I’m surprised that this speech usually isn’t listed as one of the best moments in the film. It manages to be poetic with a smattering of cheese.
@@dhwwiiexpert yeeeees. The way he says"me" gives me goosebumps. I am Sorry Raul's health and the wire work weren't there to make the action work better.
A friend and myself went back to the 90's around the end of last year when he found a couple movies including Street Fighter on VHS and a working VCR while helping his parents clean out their attic, needless to say it was epic. You should really try and watch the anime Street Fighter movie if you've never seen it, it actually is pretty damn good
love the Chun-li and Vega apartment sneak attack what sealed it for me was when Vega said " my beautiful face is ruined..." cut to Chun-Li in her bad ass pose then "you bitch, i'll make you suffer!!!"
@@mosesjeromelazaro2841 hell yeah, one of the best fights in the movie and the animation when Guile hears the fight through the phone and drives the shit out of that GT500, sliding u turn in the middle of traffic...epic
@@gloryordeath1165 i mean it's completely impossible when they did that flip when she came down the ceiling. how high was her ceiling??!! ahaha...that final stretch though when she blasted Vega through the wall... i always come back to this scene... best one. for me, at least (dare i say it. more so than the Ryu, Ken Bison final fight)
Spot on. Guilty pleasure. And I'm so glad you highlighted the Zangif "Change the channel" bit. I honestly think it's comedy gold delivered spot on. It may not have worked in other films, but it works to perfection. And yes, Julia is amazing. Easily the best aspect of the film.
I'd LOVE for Jeremy to review Transformers 2007. Say what you will about the sequels but the first FUNDAMENTALLY CHANGED Hollywood. Even Avengers 2012 was influenced by Transformers-especially sound design wise. And the score the SCORE is just....almost too good for it lol. And the use of practical effects mixed with CGI also good. Transformers showed Hollywood "hey action is cool" after 9/11. Fantasy reigned supreme after that event then BAM this film came onto the scene and just....whew. Then Iron Man and Dark Knight came on and showed up Hollywood AGAIN-showing superheroes could be both fun and serious. The late 2000s-2010s was just such a good time to be alive for a movie lover.
I personally never liked it, but I think you're right. It really had far more impact and influence on megabudget movies than people ever admit, an influence that is still felt to this day
@@IgorsDen I actually never even thought about how TF influenced Avengers until a buddy pointed it out and I gave it a watch and OH MY GOD in some cases it's plain as day lol
Totally agree, I love the 1st movie! The rest were so-so. I actually think the Avengers ending looked a lot like the Transformer 3 ending (which came out 1 year before).
He can do that, but I want him to do an updated review on Revenge of the Fallen. I want to feel his anger and embrace the Dark Side with the film that started it all. 😈🤣
Raul Julia did this film for his kids. Straight up - his kids loved SF and he loved his kids. Also he was not a guy who phoned a performance in. If he signed up, he committed. Respect and RIP
I kind of have a nostalgic feeling about this movie, I have watched it again a few weeks ago and it was quite different from what I remembered, surely it didn't age well but I still couldn't change the channel. Kyle Minogue is such a doll lol How about Masters of the Universe?
Ah. No love for Dee Jay? DJ: That's great news General, congratulations. MB: On the contrary, I mourn. DJ: Okay. And the look on his face when Bison tells him they will face Guile's attack together.
Jeremy Jahns if you read this I want to hear your thoughts on Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves, King Arthur (2004) with Clive Owen and also the Tomb Raider movies with Angelina Jolie
@@mar10ssj1 no, it's a cheesy movie, where the cheese is so amazingly cheesy that you forget its stinky cheese... and you love it. I love Demolition man, but it's not a "Great" movie. It's a movie that is objectively bad, but so amazingly polished and over the top that it's incredibly easy to like, despite how objectively bad it is. Saying you love a film doesnt make it a better film, just like saying you love a song doesnt make the band better musicians
@@chrisprobst6963 Demolition Man had far less cheese and lots more action. The story was more coherent. It was a box office HIT unlike Street Fighter. Street Fighter was flawed because it was a video game movie without any of the video game lore. Which was one of the reasons it was not well accepted when it came out. It would have ended like the Super Mario Brothers Movie except that it had Raul Julia and his EPIC performance. Which is why Jeremy praises Julia for his performance. Street Fighter it did not take itself so serious like Super Mario and they dialed it up to 11 in cheese unlike Super Mario. Demolition Man was a commercial success unlike Street Fighter. People don't pay money to see a BAD movie, generally speaking.
Like you Jeremy, this is my guilty pleasure movie too. Balrog: “Yo Honda, give me a hand.” E. Honda: “We’ve only been in jail 2 hours, maybe next month.”
As a fan of Jeremy for almost 10 years now. It is so cathartic to finally have him talk about Street fighter. He had admitted this was his guilty pleasure for years. Thank God. Also the true fans remember that one burn that he did to one guy by putting the time stamp to a section of his teacher of our idiot brother. Legendary
When in college me and my roommate downloaded an arcade emulator with all the classics, so we played the shit of SF2, and one day decided to watch the film, we do it and was the only thing we talked all week afterwards, we talked about it so much that our third roommate watched is separately so he can chip in the conversation, no other film got us so riled up no matter how good or bad it was, and this is saying something.
Zangief: "You got.....Paid?? " "Quick change the channel!" M Bison "Game over!" I can remember more quotes in this masterpiece than the rise of sky Walker!
You won my heart with your intro/confession! Not a good movie, yet so fricken awesome at the same time.Vann Damme and that tattoo kicking through the air pumped me up as a kid! I will be rewatching this because of you. Which means someone is getting royalties this far out.
ITS FINALLY HERE! I remember him saying he might review this in his review of the first Mortal Kombat back in 2012, and now the day has arrived! Only took the plague to get it...
I will always love the fact that Raul Julia wanted to be in this movie to impress his kids, and this was one of the last times (if not THE last time) that he was on the silver screen before he passed. That’s beautiful.
I saw the movie 4 times in the theater. It was the first movie I remember seeing in the theater more than once. I understand how bad it is...but still love it so much! Such a fun movie
I remember when Street Fighter came out. I recall a film critic writing for the Japanese Yomiuri Shinbun whose assessment of the film was: 'the concept of making a movie out of a video game makes as much sense as writing a novel about a toaster'... 25 long years have past...
I'm totally down for anything you want to review. These are actually really cool because you've had more history and more to say, we get a longer and more in depth video. Not having to worry about spoilers, being able to use clips, it's really cool.
I’ve never heard her name pronounced like that, is it actually “Choon” Li and not Chun (like hun, short of honey ) Li? I feel betrayed by all my cousins who took me to the arcades
Kylie Minogue as Cammy. Who incidentally may have inspired the original character design. She was asked to be in it after the director saw her on a magazine cover while scouting locations. He didn’t know there was already a connection. JCVD actually cut a lot of supporting characters scenes just to make it more about his. That’s what really killed this.
I am still confused of how "Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun-Li" is worse than this movie...I guess that movie tried too hard...? Tried to make it "realistic" more "believable"..? idk
The Legend of Chun-Li was poorly cast (I mean, a white woman as a clearly ethnic Chinese character? Come on), poorly written and poorly acted. It's an insult to the games it was based on. At least the 1994 movie was competently made and somewhat respected the games.
When Marvel makes a movie with a serious storyline and a few wise cracks it's genius. When Street Fighter makes a movie with a serious storyline and a few wise cracks it's cheesy.
Raul Julia Was in his last days and he wanted to surprise his kids who loved the Street Fighter 2 game so much. When I used to play the movie version of the game it makes me think. Wow this guy has done so much to for fill his kids dreams before he was going to die it brought a smile to his kids and that is all he wanted to do. Accomplishing something like that for your kids must be an amazing feeling and being remembered for that. Raoul Julia will always will be remembered for this achievement for future generations for toughs who watch the Street Fighter 2 documentary of his life. Which you can actually find on youtube. He was one of our best 90's nostalgia actors in Them times I wish he was still here today as he would of done more Adams Family and maybe more Street fighter movies etc. I know in his last days he felt very proud and accomplished for doing something his kids could only dream of which was basically being a famous character in their most favorite video game. Now that is a man which I give true respect for and that is one of the many other reasons why I like watching his movies. If I ever have kids I hope to do accomplish something of my Children's dreams too. Raoul Julia lived by a good example of being an amazing father in his time.
The day Jeremy reviewed Street Fighter: The Movie was the most important day of your life. But to me... It was a Monday.

In my country it was Tuesday
@@dimitrescu182 wow, you're from the future? Cooool

And he was dying during the filming...amazing we can see ALL OF THE ENERGY HE MUSTVE HAD IN HIM ON SCREEN!
@@edvaira6891 yeah he did the movie dying because his kids loved the game.

Zorin Did we watch the same video? He does nothing but praise him.
Just D8vid2 he said the reason for the choppiness of the fight at the end was because he couldn’t keep up with jcvd. It’s because he was dying. I don’t think you watched it
Man, I came here to hear about the cheesiness of Street Fighter, not tear up at Raul Julia being an absolutely beautiful human being. Thanks though
Yeah the dude was literally dying on set and put his all into it. So much respect for Raul Julia. A great actor gone far too soon.

Kayone73 loved him as Gomez growing up, he was a great actor and talent
I still remember that burn he gave Chun Li. It was not OVER THE TOP. It was subtle. It was epic. Julia knew the importance of "delivering" a line.
Fact is he almost didn't finish the movie at all, and he died not long after filming was completed. They shot all his scenes first, so that they were sure they had them, as Raul told them they had to. And yes, he did do this movie for his kids. A guy with so much heart. Even van Damme remembers him fondly, even though he was high on cocaine every day of filming.
I have a feeling Raul Julia also wanted to have as much fun as he could with this being his final role

That line is my favorite I always say that when something annoying on tv or something bad is on I always say that quote

lol 😆
You beat me to it
That is my 2nd fav line that I have stolen to use in my day to day. The number 1 is "if I'm not back in 5mins...just wait longer."

"A Good time if you're drunk?!" Hell no! This is one of the greatest game to movie adaptations of all time!
Watch "Fact Friends Raúl Juliá Appeared in Street Fighter." It made me think about about this movie in a whole different way. It was his dying act for his children. So heart wrenching.
6:16 That Tuesday quote from Bison is legendary. It's funny the moment I saw this in my inbox, I immediately said: "Dammit, Jeremy, this is great but it would've been perfect if you uploaded this on a Tuesday." and then Jeremy mentions it himself at 6:27 lol love this review, Jeremy, Street Fighter: The Movie is one of my guilty pleasures, I can't help but quote this movie everytime I rewatch it hehe.
I do think after Bison, Guile & Zangief had the most memorable lines though, for me anyway.
Zangief's "That was beautiful." & "Quick, change the channel!" are some of my favorites lol 😂😂😂
I was also hoping that Jeremy would mention that Ming-Na Wen played Chun-Li in this film, she was Melinda May from Marvel's Agents of Shield too. R.I.P. Raul Julia.
Jeremy: Should I review the Dragon Prince series?
M. Bison: “OF COURSE!”
The Netflix show? That's Awesometacular.
The Tuesday line is the best part of this movie.
Guile actually did have a pretty badass line. "I'm going to get in my boat, I'm going down that river, and I'm going to kick Bison's ass so hard that the next Bison wannabe is gonna feel it." In the hands of a better actor, that line could've been gold.
"Every day I'd ask if Julia had taken his meds, and if Van Damme was off them."
according to the director van damme was coked off his mind the whole movie
@@stedyedy23 yep. Drugged and having sex with Minogue.
He has said the name "Legend of Chun-Li" so many times in this review that i think he is begging us to make him review that movie next.
Wish he would do the amazingly entertaining first Mortal Kombat.
@@wolfthornnholtzklau4913 He already did
I say "lets". Love Kristen kruek and hoped it would give us more spin offs. Dreams die hard like Han Solo spin off.
The “for Raúl” at the end of the film is just heartbreaking ☹️ what a talent!
I remember my friends and I at the time were just happy that Ming Na-Wen was able to give us a Chun-Li who looks right and that Jean-Claude Van Damme gave us a Guile who was able to do a flash kick. Raul Julia's M Bison had some great lines and it really does make you realize how bland Legend of Chuin-Li was. Street Fighter II: The Animated Movie (1994) is still the best interpretation of the video game. B~)
Vega look like he supposed to except for not being blond, but better then black eyed peas Vega that was horrible.
I totally agreed with you, and well as SF2 Manga, epic battles and story.
Hey Jezza you could if you haven't review the Street Fighter 2 the animated movie... its mega
Animated movie is perfect, came out around the same time and was epic as hell
Guy: ”You’ve lost your mind!”
Guile: ”No, you lost your balls.”
There is a UA-cam Street Fighter movie called Street Fighter: Assasins Fist. Good stuff
I remember those UA-cam joints man I wish that group got a big Hollywood budget and could make their own film with that style, emotion and dedication. STREET FIGHTER 4EVER🤜🏿👊🏿👊🏿💪🏿🦶🏿🦶🏿🦶🏿👊🏿🤛🏿🤛🏿🤛🏿👊🏿🤜🏿🤜🏿👊🏿🦶🏿🦶🏿👊🏿💯🥃😎
It hurts my heart that we call Vega “M. Bison”.
Th3Birdman you diabolic I knew that you would be in da house.
"I wish they made a Street Fighter movie more like Street Fighter"
You have to review Street Fighter Assassin's Fist, I think you will be pleasantly surprised
I remember Street Fighter coming out after Raul Julia passed away. Talk about going out with a bang. No actor did it better.
"Bison wat happen to de purity of unam combat?"
"This is merely super conductor electromagnetism.....surely you've heard of it?"
It levitates bullet trains from Tokyo to Osaka. It levitates my desk, where I ride the saddle of the world, and it levitates... *me.* I’m surprised that this speech usually isn’t listed as one of the best moments in the film. It manages to be poetic with a smattering of cheese.
@@dhwwiiexpert yeeeees. The way he says"me" gives me goosebumps. I am Sorry Raul's health and the wire work weren't there to make the action work better.
Me: "What are you going to do? Review the best bad movie ever?"
Jeremy Jahns: "OF COURSE!"
@@hamzamuhib8994 difference is, Street Fighter is fun to watch. Last Airbender is not
@@hamzamuhib8994 Oh, you are tearing me apart! Everyone knows it;s The Room!
Jason Canby The Last Airbender is soooo painful to watch. Not even fun to make fun of, cause it’s very very dull
A friend and myself went back to the 90's around the end of last year when he found a couple movies including Street Fighter on VHS and a working VCR while helping his parents clean out their attic, needless to say it was epic. You should really try and watch the anime Street Fighter movie if you've never seen it, it actually is pretty damn good
love the Chun-li and Vega apartment sneak attack
what sealed it for me was when Vega said " my beautiful face is ruined..." cut to Chun-Li in her bad ass pose then "you bitch, i'll make you suffer!!!"
@Aizette love the storyline... when Mai said, "I am number one" changed my teen world
at the time hahaha
@@mosesjeromelazaro2841 hell yeah, one of the best fights in the movie and the animation when Guile hears the fight through the phone and drives the shit out of that GT500, sliding u turn in the middle of traffic...epic
@@gloryordeath1165 i mean it's completely impossible when they did that flip when she came down the ceiling. how high was her ceiling??!! ahaha...that final stretch though when she blasted Vega through the wall... i always come back to this scene... best one. for me, at least (dare i say it. more so than the Ryu, Ken Bison final fight)
@Aizette hmm not sure. i only watched this in the english dubbed version. it's the scene where she and Andy were retrieving the armor
The fact that they made a "Streetfighter: The Movie" videogame after this.... smh
Spot on. Guilty pleasure. And I'm so glad you highlighted the Zangif "Change the channel" bit. I honestly think it's comedy gold delivered spot on. It may not have worked in other films, but it works to perfection.
And yes, Julia is amazing. Easily the best aspect of the film.
Review Shaun of the Dead while stuck inside!
Yup, too bad the Winchester is closed. 🙁
The Winchester brothers is singing there last song soon.__
I hope he reviews this for real though. I have watched this channel from the beginning and I need his review of it XD
@F Lee Wait for all this to blow over.
*”Street Fighter II” the animated movie is actually very good tho* 💯🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽
BLANKAR AGREED! SO good!!
Hell Yeah! Chun-Li shower scene and fighting Vega in her underwear.
jeremy needs a haircut, but sadly all the barbershops are closed lol
He's getting fuzzy and it makes his head appear larger. It's hyponotizing like almost a floating head at times with wavy arms
@@Archangeldawn I like his hair, its a change of pace
Well that was cruel
Ouch..
I love the hair, but the hair in the latest videos is even better
Chun Li: you're the most amazing man I ever been with.
M. Bison: (smokes a cigarette) hey, you're Uber is waiting outside for you.
The Tuesday line is the same as James Earl Jones line in Conan the Barbarian! But it is a good line to steal
James Earl Jones Looked so weird with long hair in that movie.
Street Fighter: Assassin's Fist is the good serious SF movie.
Matt123chez I second this!
yes!! Yes it is sir
Need more likes!!!
The Street Fighter anime is pretty damn good too
@@gloryordeath1165 fat ass facts💯
I just watched "Street Fighter: Assassins' Fist", then this pops up! I'd recommend that movie. Best live action game movie by far, in my opinion.
I still remember Zangif's "change the channel" line to this day...
*"...FOR ME, IT WAS TUESDAY."*
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAA!!!!!
I'd LOVE for Jeremy to review Transformers 2007. Say what you will about the sequels but the first FUNDAMENTALLY CHANGED Hollywood. Even Avengers 2012 was influenced by Transformers-especially sound design wise. And the score the SCORE is just....almost too good for it lol. And the use of practical effects mixed with CGI also good. Transformers showed Hollywood "hey action is cool" after 9/11. Fantasy reigned supreme after that event then BAM this film came onto the scene and just....whew. Then Iron Man and Dark Knight came on and showed up Hollywood AGAIN-showing superheroes could be both fun and serious. The late 2000s-2010s was just such a good time to be alive for a movie lover.
I personally never liked it, but I think you're right. It really had far more impact and influence on megabudget movies than people ever admit, an influence that is still felt to this day
@@IgorsDen I actually never even thought about how TF influenced Avengers until a buddy pointed it out and I gave it a watch and OH MY GOD in some cases it's plain as day lol
Totally agree, I love the 1st movie! The rest were so-so. I actually think the Avengers ending looked a lot like the Transformer 3 ending (which came out 1 year before).
Or the original animated movie.
He can do that, but I want him to do an updated review on Revenge of the Fallen. I want to feel his anger and embrace the Dark Side with the film that started it all. 😈🤣
Jeremy, can I have a review of Street Fighter The Movie?
SHORYUKEN!
This movie is basically the best "GI Joe" movie made so far.
Love this. Cheesy as fuck but fun.
I love the first G.I. Joe movie, it's the sequel I have a problem with.
Raul Julia did this film for his kids. Straight up - his kids loved SF and he loved his kids.
Also he was not a guy who phoned a performance in. If he signed up, he committed.
Respect and RIP
I kind of have a nostalgic feeling about this movie, I have watched it again a few weeks ago and it was quite different from what I remembered, surely it didn't age well but I still couldn't change the channel. Kyle Minogue is such a doll lol
How about Masters of the Universe?
Ah. No love for Dee Jay?
DJ: That's great news General, congratulations.
MB: On the contrary, I mourn.
DJ: Okay.
And the look on his face when Bison tells him they will face Guile's attack together.
Review Judge Dredd or Demolition Man! Bring on the 90's cheese.
Yes, Demolition Man! I know it's been jokes as a prophecy before, but with the shortage in toilet paper we may have to use the three sea shells!
CoolTrainer: VaultBoy-39 haha ive been throwing three shell jokes over ppls head for the past month
*If Jeff Cavaliere wasn't shredded or ripped = Jeremy Jahns.* 😆
Underrated comment of the year!!!
If Jeremy lost the beard altogether 👌🤣
Jeremy Jahns if you read this I want to hear your thoughts on Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves, King Arthur (2004) with Clive Owen and also the Tomb Raider movies with Angelina Jolie
Power Rangers: The Movie. I want to see Jeremy review the cheese that is Ivan Ooze.
"Who wants to go home? And who wants to go with me?" That's what she said.
Guilty pleasure of 90's action cheese
Oh, you mean Demolition Man?
Demolition Man is a great movie
That's great underrated movie for me
A guilty pleasure is a BAD movie you think is GREAT. Demolition Man is a GREAT movie you think is GREAT.
@@mar10ssj1 no, it's a cheesy movie, where the cheese is so amazingly cheesy that you forget its stinky cheese... and you love it. I love Demolition man, but it's not a "Great" movie. It's a movie that is objectively bad, but so amazingly polished and over the top that it's incredibly easy to like, despite how objectively bad it is.
Saying you love a film doesnt make it a better film, just like saying you love a song doesnt make the band better musicians
@@chrisprobst6963 Demolition Man had far less cheese and lots more action. The story was more coherent. It was a box office HIT unlike Street Fighter. Street Fighter was flawed because it was a video game movie without any of the video game lore. Which was one of the reasons it was not well accepted when it came out. It would have ended like the Super Mario Brothers Movie except that it had Raul Julia and his EPIC performance. Which is why Jeremy praises Julia for his performance. Street Fighter it did not take itself so serious like Super Mario and they dialed it up to 11 in cheese unlike Super Mario. Demolition Man was a commercial success unlike Street Fighter. People don't pay money to see a BAD movie, generally speaking.
Like you Jeremy, this is my guilty pleasure movie too.
Balrog: “Yo Honda, give me a hand.”
E. Honda: “We’ve only been in jail 2 hours, maybe next month.”
As a fan of Jeremy for almost 10 years now. It is so cathartic to finally have him talk about Street fighter. He had admitted this was his guilty pleasure for years. Thank God. Also the true fans remember that one burn that he did to one guy by putting the time stamp to a section of his teacher of our idiot brother. Legendary
The casting was on point, this is truly a cult classic! Raul Julia is one of the 🐐
When in college me and my roommate downloaded an arcade emulator with all the classics, so we played the shit of SF2, and one day decided to watch the film, we do it and was the only thing we talked all week afterwards, we talked about it so much that our third roommate watched is separately so he can chip in the conversation, no other film got us so riled up no matter how good or bad it was, and this is saying something.
Kylie Minogue as Cammy was perfect.
“You got...paid?” Such a bad movie but so good.
That guy was so funny. "Quick change the channel!"🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂😂
@@bjornblackman2337 Dee Jay (DJ) looked at Zangief like: "What the fuck is wrong with you?!"😆😆😆😆
Now, review Street Fighter: Assassin's Fist!
The legitimately great Street Fighter movie.
Zangief: "You got.....Paid?? "
"Quick change the channel!"
M Bison "Game over!"
I can remember more quotes in this masterpiece than the rise of sky Walker!
Me: *watching other UA-cam video*
Jeremy: *uploads Street Fighter video*
Me: QUICK! CHANGE ZE CHANNEL!
(Watching Chris Stuckmann then this notification comes up)
Me: Quick, change the channel!
Please review Street Fighter: Assassin's Fist !!!!
You won my heart with your intro/confession! Not a good movie, yet so fricken awesome at the same time.Vann Damme and that tattoo kicking through the air pumped me up as a kid! I will be rewatching this because of you. Which means someone is getting royalties this far out.
ITS FINALLY HERE! I remember him saying he might review this in his review of the first Mortal Kombat back in 2012, and now the day has arrived! Only took the plague to get it...
Jeremy, thank you for reviewing this gem of a film!
Zangief was a king in this film!
I've just turned 30, as a kid I loved the movie...I'm going to have to watch it again arnt I?
To anyone who says we can't have a great live-action Street Fighter movie.
Street Fighter Assassin's Fist would like a word 🤨.
Come to cheesiness this line from the prequal comes to mind.
"Unlimiiiiited POWAAAAAA"
I will always love the fact that Raul Julia wanted to be in this movie to impress his kids, and this was one of the last times (if not THE last time) that he was on the silver screen before he passed. That’s beautiful.
Definitely my guilty pleasure movie after Batman and Robin
“What killed the dinosaurs...the Ice Age!”
COOL party!!!!
So true
Allow me to break the ice.
jason lewis Holy shit, that was funny!
you should try 'Street Fighter: Assassin's Fist' it's about Ken and Ryou's training with their master. With Akuma as the vilian
I saw the movie 4 times in the theater. It was the first movie I remember seeing in the theater more than once. I understand how bad it is...but still love it so much! Such a fun movie
I remember when Street Fighter came out. I recall a film critic writing for the Japanese Yomiuri Shinbun whose assessment of the film was: 'the concept of making a movie out of a video game makes as much sense as writing a novel about a toaster'...
25 long years have past...
I'm totally down for anything you want to review. These are actually really cool because you've had more history and more to say, we get a longer and more in depth video. Not having to worry about spoilers, being able to use clips, it's really cool.
Street Fighter: The Movie: The Review: The Video: The Comment
I’ve never heard her name pronounced like that, is it actually “Choon” Li and not Chun (like hun, short of honey ) Li? I feel betrayed by all my cousins who took me to the arcades
Daddysports79 Jeremy’s right~ the Chinese pronunciation of it sounds closer to “Choon” than “Ch’un” :)
waterywingz nice, didn’t know that. Thanks
Saw this movie the other day. Wasn't good but it gave me such a power rangers vibe that i couldn't think i would have loved this film as a child
Kylie Minogue as Cammy. Who incidentally may have inspired the original character design.
She was asked to be in it after the director saw her on a magazine cover while scouting locations. He didn’t know there was already a connection.
JCVD actually cut a lot of supporting characters scenes just to make it more about his. That’s what really killed this.
I remember recording this movie on VHS from TV. Was a fantastic background film while doing school homework with my sister. Guilty pleasure for sure.
I am still confused of how "Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun-Li" is worse than this movie...I guess that movie tried too hard...? Tried to make it "realistic" more "believable"..? idk
The Legend of Chun-Li was poorly cast (I mean, a white woman as a clearly ethnic Chinese character? Come on), poorly written and poorly acted. It's an insult to the games it was based on. At least the 1994 movie was competently made and somewhat respected the games.
@@TheVelociraptor15 exactly. It was fun to watch, and still is.
Barney Bitch-ass The actress is half Chinese.
Is he doing 90 cheese because of corona Chan?
he ran out of lime.
When Marvel makes a movie with a serious storyline and a few wise cracks it's genius.
When Street Fighter makes a movie with a serious storyline and a few wise cracks it's cheesy.
Raul Julia Was in his last days and he wanted to surprise his kids who loved the Street Fighter 2 game so much. When I used to play the movie version of the game it makes me think. Wow this guy has done so much to for fill his kids dreams before he was going to die it brought a smile to his kids and that is all he wanted to do. Accomplishing something like that for your kids must be an amazing feeling and being remembered for that. Raoul Julia will always will be remembered for this achievement for future generations for toughs who watch the Street Fighter 2 documentary of his life. Which you can actually find on youtube. He was one of our best 90's nostalgia actors in Them times I wish he was still here today as he would of done more Adams Family and maybe more Street fighter movies etc. I know in his last days he felt very proud and accomplished for doing something his kids could only dream of which was basically being a famous character in their most favorite video game. Now that is a man which I give true respect for and that is one of the many other reasons why I like watching his movies. If I ever have kids I hope to do accomplish something of my Children's dreams too. Raoul Julia lived by a good example of being an amazing father in his time.
You're absolutely right about Raul Julia in this movie. He is amazing. It is a CRIMINAL shame that this was his last role. He was brilliant!
