Hahah, oh wow. I remember playing this game in the arcades briefly when I was a kid. Those development pics are GOLD.

SF The Movie - The Game I believe was on the Sega Saturn.
I remember seeing tons of copies sitting on store shelves for awhile. Even though I am a longtime SF fan, not sure if capturing "live action" with SF would work. ++bonus points to Kylie ^_^

kadosho

When the hell was Akuma in the Movie?

shrek187

That oiled up Cammy shot is hot. Is that definitely Van Damme in the first pic? He sorta looks as if he's a look-a-like.

photoboy

Needed more Kylie.

dynendal

i just remembered that Kylie Minogue played Cammy. dang

mrtoofresh

This was when Street Fighter wanted to be more like Mortal Kombat.

jsf49

That's not the angle I want to see cammy from.

Thorax

One word: BAHAHAHAHAHA!

Gotta love that white guy in the baseball jersey doing karate! Totally cliche 80's crap!

mr_dimsum

Just got to say it again, Cammy looks good.

ThatsMrOffDutyNinja

This totally makes me want to go dust off the old Sega, and eBay myself up the game.
Or just giggle at all the photos.
You totally missed some of the funniest/best ones.

Sorshha

Damn Cammy looks hot. Akuma man he looks nothing like him even the grip there does a better stance than that guy.

ThatsMrOffDutyNinja

These aren't half bad.... can't be as bad when Jackie Chan cosplayed as the Street Fighter characters.

Kaizuden

That has got to be the weediest Akuma cosplay ever.

Chadders

Wow.. And I remember when I really wanted to see this one too. Phew, how time flies.

Thugmunk

Haha...yeah...I remember there was a game based on the movie based on a game...I just don't remember for what platform(s?). But c'mon...doesn't the idea of controlling a rendered Van Damme in a fighting game sound awesome?

Erinaceus

I never noticed how stupid those pants are that Van Damme is wearing.

Coming next:

Street Fighter: The Movie: The Game: The Movie

CaptCHAOS

Street Fighter 2: The Movie > Street Fighter Alpha: The Movie > Street Fighter Alpha: Generations

The story for Alpha was kind of weird. It didn't seem to stick to the game. SF2 was very 90s-ish, but it fleshed out the characters more than those post-fight insults.

Shalashaska

err, that was @Acseru:

What doesn't?

It was originally an Arcade game, then ported to the consoles.

I worked in a huge arcade at the time and basically, SF was losing major money to MK series in the arcades. MK busted on the scene hardcore and MKII just made the game 100x better.

Capcom in their thinking wanted to go the digital live action character route in hopes of winning back the hearts of gamers who were becoming MK junkies. They thought it was the right time with SF being hot in the arcades and the big SF movie coming out.

SF:The Movie "the game" was their answer.....and it was a horrible horrible mistake. I was a die hard SF player who also enjoyed the MK series and I remember this pos rolling into our arcade. After playing an afternoon I wondered who the hell thought it was a good idea to make it haha.

Ahhh the days when SFII/MK first hit the arcade scene. Sticking your quarters up on the glass to signify you were next to challenge the winner......It's too bad alot of you guys never got to experience it.

3elevenX

Hey lets set out to make the worst game ever. What a waste of time. A guy with 10 dollars to make his cosplay costume could do a better job than this turd.

Orionsaint

I'm assuming they used Raul Julia's stuntman because he was dead at that point and not because he wasn't flexible enough to do the moves.

RhymeReviser

Well looks better than the Dragonball movie...

Acseru

I actually liked the movie, found it quite entertaining. But never tried the game based on the movie though.

Rexter

cammy, splat

nitram100

The arcade SF movie game was horrible...

But the movie-game on Saturn was actually pretty fun, imo.

otimus

thanks for the memories kotaku. that movie was horrible, i remember renting it in 6th grade though. i was such a huge street fighter fan then as well. i completely forgot that was kylie minogue. lol i had this game for my saturn (i bought everything street fighter in those days), and i would pause the screen sometimes when cammy would do moves. what can i say, i was 13.

it also came to the playstation, a lot of those capcom fighting games that played better and just seemed to make more sense on the saturn are worth good money on the playstation. this game is worth like 5 bucks on saturn, but 30 on the psx.

@3elevenX: dude, that just made me remember going to putt putt simply to play arcade games. they had a HUGE cabinet for ssfII shortly after it was released, and i was too afraid to put my quarter up because all the guys were so good.

shouryuuken

oh yeah lets not forget this game was also on the playstation not just the saturn

batdrox

i just bought the movie and the game for saturn back in feb.....best SF ever....movie was great as well.

batdrox

That movie is a classic for all the wrong reasons.
The game is even worse, and the Saturn home port wa terrible comapred to the already feeble arcade version.

Let's hope Capcom never pulls one of this stunts again.

Shiryu

I'm one of those very few people who actually played said game. It was utterly craptastic. It was trying way too hard to be Mortal Kombat.

TheDollHouse

I sadly remember seeing this movie in the theater. Was Raul Gulia's last film too. I thought the only great moment in that film was Ming-Na Wen's Chun-Li freaking out and kicking Bison's ass after Raul Gulia's awesome line, "..the day I killed your father must have been the most horrible day of your life, but for me - it was just Tuesday." RIP Raul

TC

You know... with these images, someone has probably started work on Street Fighter: The Movie HD Remix...

rentahero1

cammies chest is anatomically incorrect and akuma's a... punkrocker? no. just no. I refuse to play this.

eskimo-bob

cammies chest is anatomically incorrect and I refuse to play this game therefore.

eskimo-bob

Anyone care to guess what kind of horsepower that computer has in the pic with Sagat leaning over?

Vanguarde

I still sometime play the arcade version on MAME emulator.
Its hilarious ^^

neojam

The PS1 port or SF:The Movie:The Game was actually not bad. Rather than the unplayable, glitchy mess that was the arcade game, the gameplay was completely revamped so that it played like Super SF2 Turbo.

Granted, that means it still only played like Super SF2 Turbo, but it was an improvement, however mild.

Deuce

The SFA Movie was pretty bad, and the sequel was even worse. The original animated movie was passable. I did like the SFII V series, aside from the weird gay overtones between Ryu and Ken in some of the early episodes.

KaneRobot

SF the movie is just oozing with great quotes.

Kanik

On a related note: go see JCVD. First Jean Claude movie worth watching, it was a great surprise for me. He totally redeems himself in this movie.

Here's the teaser, oh it's a french movie so if you don't like subtitles, too bad.

+ Watch video

CheechWizz

What's a DHALSIM??!?!

Human Bomb

The flag on his right arm, which is forward, should be backward. Soldiers always have the flag with the star field leading the way, advancing in to battle.

The flag never retreats, it just advances to the rear.

ThatGuyOverThere

@Kaizuden: What are you talking about? Jackie Chan's rendition of the Street Fighter was better. It was a parody. Even then it was still better...

@3elevenX: I remember that time. I used to line up for more than 10 minutes just to get the crap beaten out of me. I did a lot of lining up too! Killer Instinct,SF and its different iterations...Ah the good ole days.

I think this movie sucked so much because not only were the fight scenes crap but they messed with the SF mythos as well. Sagat as a midget? (well not really but you get my point).

When this first came out, there was a huge line for it. After I think a week, heh it gathered dust...

excaliburps

I think I just found my new avatar

Object obj = Blanka
obj.GetType().InvokeMember( "Set New Avatar")

phextin

Oh, man, that Blanka close-up is hilarious.

Strangelove

Ive got the film on DVD..I couldnt help it..its so bad, its nigh on good...

TeldurUK

What looks like an attempt at Akuma is pretty frightening.

Although as others said, damn...Cammy.
