Estranged street fighters Ryu and Ken Masters are recruited by Chun-Li for the World Warrior Tournament, but a deadly conspiracy forces them to confront their past demons and each other.
Directed by Kitao Sakurai, the new live-action adaptation of Street Fighter attempts to redeem past failures with a cast including Andrew Koji and Noah Centineo as Ryu and Ken, alongside Callina Liang as Chun-Li. Set in 1993, the film openly embraces a cartoonish style and arcade tournament energy, receiving mixed reviews: while some critics praise its vibrant style and animated sequences, others criticize its inconsistent narrative and often juvenile humor. Despite earning $51 million on its opening weekend, the film proves to be a polarizing product, capable of entertaining die-hard fans but disappointing for those seeking a more solid and mature adaptation.
