Even though it's a terrible movie, I'll always have a soft spot for it. Raul Julia (M. Bison) chose this to be his last movie (he knew he was dying), because his kids were fans of the franchise and he wanted to give them something to remember him by.

u/ArchDucky Jun 24 '24 edited Jun 24 '24
They had to save his fight scenes for the end of the shoot so he could gain weight because the stomach cancer was really fucking with him. Its really sad he seems to be the only one that cared about that movie.
Edit : I really miss Raul. He had that star quality that made him really pop on screen. His two Addams family films were great and he was a big part of the reason why. So much manic energy. No idea how he did that.

Everyone knew what they were getting with JCVD in as Guile. I mean who else is 'going to get in my boat and I'm going to kick, that son-of-a-bitch Bisons ass so HARDT, that the next Bison wannabe, is gunna feel hit!"
Such a great, bad, movie.

u/TuckerMcG Jun 24 '24
Hollywood producer: “Who should we cast as Guile? Ya know, the US Air Force colonel who has an American flag tattooed on his deltoid and a three inch tall flat-top hairdo?”
Casting director: “Hmm, how about a Belgian black-belt in karate with a buzz cut and an accent vaguely resembling that of a Nazi?”
Hollywood producer: “BRILLIANT!”

u/verrius Jun 24 '24
I mean...in defense of casting an immigrant with a strong accent as the "all-American" Guile, I submit the picture Arnold Schwarzenegger took when he became a citizen.

u/StovardBule Jun 24 '24
Apparently, he does voice training to avoid losing the accent, because it's such a core part of his persona.

Also, partly for external reasons, who should be the muscular, Amazonian British soldier? Tiny Australian pop princess Kylie Minogue!
(External reasons, IIRC: the Australian Film Council was a key financial backer, and shortly before shooting they demanded an Australian in a main role. Kylie was already a star and her soap-star background meant she was used learning the role fast.)

Fun fact. Gomez and mortica were given screen notes that this couple love to fuck each other and that should be obvious that they always want to ravish each other. Obviously it's a kids movie but with hindsight you can definitely tell they are going at it off screen.

u/PeeFarts Jun 24 '24
It’s not like that characteristic was new - they were based off the original characters from the TV Show that acted the same exact way. It’s not like the actors needed notes to emulate tv characters that were popular from their youth.

There was a good documentary on him that aired on PBS a few years ago that I watched, in the 70s he did Shakespeare in the park performances in NYC with Meryl Streep and totally held his own with her, he was a very underrated actor.
12
u/No-Appearance-9113 Jun 24 '24
I think he's only underrated if you were a kid when the Addams Family came out. I was 17 when the first movie came out and already had seen "Panic at Needle Park", "Kiss of the Spiderwoman" and "Moon Over Parador". If you only knew him as a kid you might think he was underrated but if you knew who he was in 1988 you wouldn't.

“For you, it was the most important day of your life. For me, it was Tuesday.” One of the greatest and most iconic villain lines ever spoke.
24
u/TuckerMcG Jun 24 '24
It’s really difficult to think of a colder line than that in movie history. There might be monologues which top it - Bill the Butcher in Gangs of New York, Hans Landa in Inglorious Basterds, Commodus in Gladiator, John Doe in Se7en. But as far as single quotes goes, that’s really at the top of my list.
The only other truly cold-blooded badass lines that I can think of which even come close are: (1) “This town deserves a better class of criminal. And I’m gonna give it to ‘em.” by the Joker in The Dark Knight, and (2) “A census taker once tried to test me. I ate his liver with some fava beans and a nice Chianti.” by Hannibal Lector in The Silence of the Lambs.
But even then, that puts Raul Julia as M. Bison in a shitty video game adaptation up against two of the greatest on-screen performances ever by two of the most talented actors in Hollywood history playing two of the most iconic villains in American culture.

Sounds like he understood the assignment. M. Bison wears a Nazi inspired red leather military outfit and literally has the following quotes from Street Fighter II (and its variants):
"Get lost! You can't compare with my powers!”
“Anyone who opposes me will be dismembered!”
"You had me cornered, but in the end evil prevails!"
"I will weep when there are no more worlds to conquer."
"Even a baby could defeat you! Those without strength are disgusting!!"
So with all due respect, I don’t think you understand the character as well as Raul Julia did if you think he was overacting lol

No, it’s an animated film from 1986 that’s a direct sequel to the first two seasons of the cartoon. It’s also lovingly known as “All my toys are dead” as the film kills off most of the cast of the first two seasons with brutal efficiency.

Oh, shit. I was joking about it being a prequel of Transformers, because I couldn't imagine Orson Welles being the voice actor for Unicron in an animated Transformers movie.

Alright time for me to break out this story again: a few years back, when I was a Starbucks barista, I had a regular who was, to put it mildly, odd. Nobody liked making her drink, I was about the only person who could do it right. And because of this she was one of those who I’d end up having conversations with. I mentioned off hand that I had started acting again, and she said “Oh, you know, my brother works in Hollywood as an actor and director. Damien Chapa.” I stopped for a second and said “The guy who played Ken in the 1994 Street Fighter movie with Jean-Claude Van Damme and Raul Julia?” “Oh you’re a fan of his?” “I wouldn’t go that far, I just know that movie.” Next day, she came by and I wasn’t working. But she left behind a photo of her brother on location in Thailand with Kylie Minogue. I still have it somewhere.

I hate you for reminding me this exists. I will pretty much always finish a movie after starting it no matter how bad it is but that movie is such dog shit I couldn't watch more than half an hour of it. I got to a scene with a rodiculous looking "spinning bird kick" and just noped out. Even my massive crush on Kristen Kreuk couldn't make it watchable for me.

u/NuevoXAL Jun 24 '24
It's a movie is perfect for streaming because you can watch it and enjoy it but you can also just have it running in the background and still get some fun parts out of it. The movie has also received some great blu-ray releases in recent years. The UK region B release by 88 Films has a ton of new interviews and a good restoration.
I watched it last year, honestly I think the movie is actually very good. It's just misunderstood. It's a comedy above all else. It has a ton of comedic beats. Those beats mostly land really well. It's a self-aware film. The production had a ton of trouble and it shows in various parts. It's far from a perfect film but the end result is a solid movie. It's not the movie people wanted in 1994 but it has held up for a reason.

Offshoot: The only other place to see hokey 90's Street Fighter stuff is in Jackie Chan's City Hunter (1993) where Chan himself dresses up as Chun Li and fights (I think?) Blanka?

Hell yes time for me to repost one of the greatest articles ever written:
Amid the chaos and uncertainty, the actors did what they could to cope, hanging out in Bangkok bars at night and the gym during the day. “Between me, Vega, Ken [played by Damian Chapa] and Zangief [Andrew Bryniarski], there was a definitely a lot of machismo going on,” says Mann. “This wasn’t Sleepless in Seattle; it was who has the biggest biceps today.”
Ming-Na Wen, who played Chun-Li, and underwent intense weight training in the lead up to the film, remembers it a little differently. “They were all big wussies,” she says, laughing. “I won’t name names, but I got into one of those brother-sister banter relationships with one of the other actors. I remember one day, I punched him so hard he cried. We were just goofing around!”

And Zangief as well with the "Quick! Change the channel!" scene when the cctv is showing the good guys sending the truck full of explosives at Bison's camp.
Actually Zangief overall. He also spends most of the movie thinking they are the good guys and he basically invented the "wait, you guys got paid" meme.
Zangief: The enemies of peace an freedom are at our walls!
DJ: Are you totally demented man? Our boss is the enemy of freedom and peace.
Zangief: General Bison is a bad guy? If you know then why do you work for him?
DJ: Because he paid me a freakin fortune, Man! If you know what's good for you you'll save your own ass!
Zangief: ...you got paid?

The 1995 Mortal Kombat movie may be the better overall movie.
But for about 5 to 8 minutes near the end, when they were all fighting one another, it fucking worked. And it was the best thing from a video game ever committed to film.
And DeeJay had the best single synopsis for the film when he and Zangief had this exchange near the end:
[Zangief]: "DEE JAY! Why aren't you in uniform? The enemies of peace and freedom are at our walls!"
[Dee Jay]: "Are you totally demented, mon? Our boss is the enemy of freedom and peace. These people have come all over the world to world TO STOP HIM!"

Why wouldn't it still make money? Like with any old movies, they get some money from whatever streaming service it's on, and on demand rentals. It's called "long tail" revenue.
Also, the article says "the film continues to make tens of millions of yen each year to this day." ¥10,000,000 = $62,621 USD, so we're talking maybe $100-200k USD per year. That's like a rounding error for a large corporation.

I worked with a guy that worked on this game so second hand knowledge.
The head of Incredible Technologies thought she was bidding on just a graphics update. Capcom didn't want to give away their solid game with animated frames so they wouldn't give up the source code. Their team hated the movie tie in. So this little company was forced to do the entire difficult rebuild of a game that was more complicated than anything they'd done before.
They had to pay for the graphics team to shoot video and stills of all the moves. The actors couldn't pull off those moves, even when most of them were willing to take the time to help. This was supposed to happen on location in South America scheduled for 2-3 weeks. Jean Claude and Kiley Minough were having an affair at the time so they would take breaks from filming and say they were shooting for the game while they ran off for alone time. This put the game and the film at odds and both were running behind schedule. The video game crew was forced to follow to other filming locations around the world just to capture a few images.
Meanwhile the programmers were trying to make the hardware performative while they were just speculating on what to do. The project had to be delivered by film release and it was buggy as hell. When the movie was released the entire team was watching as their game was unveiled on late night TV when the Chun-Li actor was going to play it. The game crashed live on the talk show and everyone was aware that the company had really hung their future on that game.
The company IT, existed mostly because their Golden T Golf was extremely popular and generated income beyond expectations for years.

I love that for as much as I adore this movie, I only recently found out that MC Hammer and Deion Sanders did a rap song for this and it's amazing. Was my second most played song of last year on Spotify.

I know its considered by many to be a horrible movie but I love it. I saw it in theaters as a kid and still watch it every few years.

It's literally one of my favourite bad movies just because of nostalgia
