Ben is KO’d for this one as we invite back games master Sunny as we discuss the only decent movie based on a video game ever. Haduken!!

In this episode of Just That Film Podcast, we revisit Street Fighter II: The Animated Movie (1994), the acclaimed Japanese anime that many fans still consider the finest adaptation of a video game ever put on screen.

Based on Capcom’s legendary fighting game, the film follows Ryu, Ken, Chun-Li, Guile, and the rest of the iconic Street Fighter roster as they battle the sinister M. Bison and his criminal organisation, Shadaloo. Featuring breathtaking animation, intense martial arts action, and a memorable soundtrack, it remains a landmark in both anime and video game history.

We discuss the film’s faithful adaptation of the games, incredible fight choreography, standout characters, animation quality, and why it continues to be regarded as one of the greatest video game movies ever made. We also compare it with the live-action adaptations and explore why this version still stands head and shoulders above many of them.
