Raul Julia was dying and did this movie out love for his son who is a big Street Fighter fan.

Complete aside: Zangief's "change the channel" and "you got paid" lines are legit funny stuff.

This movie holds a special place in my heart because of how much effort Raul Julia put into hamming it up

The fact that Raul Julia just accepted the role because his children were fans of the franchise and did with so much professionalism and really in touch with the (joke) mood of the movie is just so neat

Raul Julia was amazing in this movie. He knew exactly when to overact and chew the scenery, which was the whole time. "For you the day Bison graced your village was the most important day of your life. But for me, it was Tuesday." Is one of my top 5 favorite movie lines of all time. And I'm an OG Star Wars fan.

"Why would you play this game?" Kylie Minogue in green leotard is enough reason for me 💕

90's Kylie Minogue in a high-cut leotard is a gift from the gods.

Have you considered possibly covering notorious hardware flops as well? Stuff like the Ouya (Infamous kickstarter-backed system with specs weaker than your smartphone from 5 years ago), Virtual Boy (A prototype shoved out the door, and its creator was later punished by manning a booth at a show), and Gizmodo (Crappy handheld that ended up exposing the CEO's connection to the mafia) would all make for good "Wha Happuns", IMO.

Matt, you missed on the chance of uploading this video... On Tuesday.

"Every corner of my mind palace" *Is just Hitomi Tanaka and Emma Stone*

Oh the coke-fueled nineties. It's the only time period I can imagine a studio thinking it's a good idea to literally write a script overnight.

Little correction need to be made. Ernie Reyes jr. didn’t play Akuma in the game, his dad did, Ernie Reyes Sr.

This video series is amazing. I'm glad there is so much material out there to keep this going for a long long time

The dodging instead of blocking animation sounds cool actually. But would probably be confusing to play against

Ironically, Van Damme could've been the star of Mortal Kombat!

I'm glad IT lived. I'm always sad when a newbie crew go under in these stories.

Fun fact: The stunt man who played Akuma is Ernie Rayes Sr.

Kylie Minogue as Cammy: Can't your thighs outta my head.

Ah yes, the movie where the "OF COURSE!" Meme came from. Good times, good times.

Does anyone else want to see a "Wha happun" for Superman64 or Aquaman: Battle for Atlantis

Tbh, I didn't know much about this game besides the fact that it existed. But learning that they had all the movie actors, in costume, learn & perform all the unique moves to become digitized sprites for an actual playable game?! That's kind of awesome, even if they were inexperienced with martial arts and such. If I had been an actor in this movie, seeing myself in the game would have blown my mind. It's such a cute idea.

Suggestion: Marvel Nemesis: Rise of the Imperfects. A joint arena fighter and comic book effort by Marvel and EA.

Sawada's acting....priceless (cue FF7 victory music) now thats a champion

I still can't believe Kylie Minogue played Cammy

How about Wuh Happened with Operation Raccoon City? That was a real dumpster fire for sure

Not including Bison's excellently delivered 'He said to them, "I watched Satan fall from heaven like lightning!!!!"

I forgot Kylie Minogue was Cammy :D

That "you lost your balls" is just so damn good. Why there aren't more people using that as a meme is beyond my comprehension

Wow, Mortal Kombat II still looks amazing to this day.

I've got a suggestion for an episode. 2008's Alone In the Dark, a game that took one of the cornerstone franchises in the survival horror genre and curb stomped on its head.

This game gets a super bad rep, but I honestly don't hate it. It's bad in terms of classic SF games, but it's still super playable .

What I know is, ppl in Japan (who played this game) loved the sheit out of Cpt. Sawada. He became some sort of meme. The "SAWADA SPECIAL”. Imo both movie and game is lovable as "so bad it’s good" way. I adore them. Anyways, thanks for the fun Matt!

I've gotta say Matt. It really seems like you're loving the new freedom you've got to focus on this channel. This series, in addition to all of your more produced videos seem like they're a lot more fun to you than just ongoing LP's. I'm glad that you seem to be happy in this new era :)

My mom unrionically loves that movie for being dumb and fun. She’s a big nerd.

13:17. Mega Man's got a right hand on his left arm.

Long, beautiful legs of Ming-Na Wen and Kylie Minogue are the best in this movie.

Despite the disaster that is the movie, I find it incredibly fun and entertaining. That being said, I have a huge love for B-films there is that raw ambition without talent that gives them charm or in the case of this film, the fact that they managed to complete the film despite various problems threatening the creators.

Maybe oneday you could cover Hiveswap's notorious troubled production. The game itself is actually pretty good, but so many behind the scenes fuckups happened with project mismanagement, theft, and any follow ups being left up in the air. Granted the vid would have to devote too much time to Homestuck's background (and how the game production affected it) and we're still waiting for more of the staff to come forward about wha happun.

I would suggest a Wha Happun on the infamous dumpster fires that are Superman 64 or Sonic '06 but I honestly think those dead horses have been beaten to the point where they're just piles of atoms. So I suggest something a little more obscure but no less embarrassing to a long and celebrated franchise like sayyyy...Castlevania Judgement?

Sheng Long with the dragon arm immediately put me in mind of Trogdor.

Those pronunciations of the special moves are umm, definitely something 😂

You wouldn't think there would be much territory to cover for TLoZ: Wand of Gamelon and Faces of Evil, but good lord, I've seen a lot of *really* interesting details, such as the cutscenes being outsourced to SERBIAN ANIMATION STUDENTS, so there's gotta be an entertaining episode in there.

I love how the characters float unaturaly around the backgrounds it's such a meme version of street fighter, I wish my arcade had it. 90s arcades where awesome.

the making of the movie was a sad story. Made me appreciate this movie even more than it already was being bad but good.

Another good thing to come out of this game: Despite how small it is, a community for it exists, and they have hosted many charity events for Covid relief and other stuff

But for me that day was a Tuesday

the worst part about this, is that the home port is actually really fun, in so many ways, it's genuinely something i still love to play today, even if it's to laugh at it

Just saying, this should have been released on a Tuesday.

6:00 My Favorite Part of the Video.

That wasn't just a stuntman who played Akuma but that's the amazing Ernie Reyes Sr.!

I always think of the 1990 Turtles movie as the big turning point and the last "silly action movie that people actually liked". Street Fighter simply came out too late. The A market movies (like Die Hard) kinda took over and left out the B to D quality movies behind in peoples minds. Also way to many actors in the movie all at the same time. A little bit weird to remember most of Van Damme's other "fighter" movies also had many chars, but instead had them all in the end in a big "tournament" usually so it was less confusing. Im sure people would have loved that kinda of movie even if it had been with "actors" instead of "fighters" (like people still go watch "Rocky" movies, even the bad ones with kids & robots). Instead we got this odd mess of a movie. 10/10 to Raul Julia who clearly gave the role a full on Addams Family char intensity the whole way thru. Still have the imported saturn version somewhere in my collection. Got it as it probably was the cheapest game in the store at the time.

I watched my first "TheSwitcher" video back in 2009, so I've officially given a decade to watching Matt make fun of the worst Street Fighter has to offer. I'm sure I'll be back in 2029 to say *NO NOT THE HEADBITE*

I went to five below once. There was a massive amount of Aliens Colonial Marines for PS3 on the shelf for $3. As well as a couple copies of metal gear rising revengence. Needless to say I got my first metal gear game that day.

You know this is the first arcade Street Fighter game at the time that introduced me to Akuma. I actually didn't know who he was until this game cause in Super Turbo the dude had no name or identity.

Zangief yelling "change the channel" was one of the best parts of the movie. That and of course, T U E S D A Y.

At least this film gave rise to that Raul Julia meme, meaning he is still remembered long after his passing.

Honestly, the Akuma isn't THAT bad looks wise.

I still think my favorite part of the movie is "For me it was Tuesday*

Street Fighter and Mario Bros. still hold a place in my heart. RIP Bob Hoskins, Raul Julia, and Dennis Hopper. Fuck Mortal Kombat Annihilation though.

Kylie minogue: So oiling me up is going to help with the green screen motion capture process huh? SFTMTG crew: uhhhh, yeah totally. it like smooths the pixels....or something (proceeds to dump a gallon of baby oil on her) KM: COOL!!

On a bittersweet note, I thinks the fact that the fact that this was Raul Julia’s last movie and he was obviously having so much fun with it despite being ill completely validates its existence. Knowing that I’m not sure I’d willingly trade it for an amazingly good Street Fighter movie.

This is probably one of my favorite stories to hear because of how nutty it is.

I’m gonna be honest the Shen Long design actually sounds pretty neat on paper

I thought Ernie Reyes Sr was Akuma, not Jr.

How's about doing a "Wha Happun?" on the 2006 Sonic the Hedgehog?

That intro is still one of my favorite things ever

Matt, I'm genuinely so happy you've focused more on your own content! I love all your videos, and I get so excited when I see them on my dash 🌸

I know this is gonna be a controversial hot take, but I think Raul Julia's M. Bison is actually better and more interesting than the actual game's version.

Street fighter the movie is a great film. No really, it’s awful but it’s amazing. I genuinely love it. There are few movies more entertaining.

This was brilliant! Fun look at the whole SFTM Saga, and of course it's always also really fun to go read back on Alan Noon's writeup on the SRK forums. Also on that tangent, I wonder if you can also perhaps go see Wha Happun (or in this case, Wha Didn't happun) on another infamous digitized fighting game you surely know as TATTOO ASSASSINS?

*Mass Effect Andromeda is practically screaming for an episode of What Happened?*

Fei Long and Sheng Long couldn't be added to SF:TM:TG? I guess you could say they were... ...long gone.

Say what you will about this movie. Raul Julia did a good job. Shame he's no longer with us. Also, Ming-na Wen (I probably butchered her name, so I apologize if I did) was in this? Interesting.

How about an episode of 'Wha Happun' on "Sonic Boom: Rise of Lyric"?

20:45 That anecdote is just fantastic hahahahaha I love it! "It sucked huh? Well it's more than profitable somehow." → the movie industry is more forgiving than the videogame industry I guess.

Street Fighter the Movie: the Game...I had no idea that was even a thing LMAO!

I'm liking all the Monster Hunter music throughout the video.

Huh, I didn't realize til now this is kind of a stealth pilot for the movie-focused episodes of What Happened? Nicely done!

3rd Strike is my favourite fighting game of all time. This possible alternate reality SF III that's based on the movie keeps me up at night.

I loved time killers, you could get your arm cut off and still fight.

As horrible as the movie is, Raul Julia killed it as Bison, and his 'But for me it was Tuesday' line is, in my opinion, one of the GREATEST villain lines of ALL TIME.

Man, I really love this series. You've struck gold on this one. There's something so endearing and satisfying about hearing detailed histories of huge flops. If anyone is interested, there's an awesome book detailing the disastrous failure of the film John Carter, and it's a fascinating read. So much talent on that team, and such a failure of a project. It's beautiful to behold.

Did You Know? The Bison Troopers, such as Blade and his palette swaps, and Sawada were given profiles on the Street Fighter V Character Encyclopedia, as to make them canon to the Street Fighter universe?

For us, the day Matt McMuscles graced our sub feed was the most important day of our life, but for him, it was only Wednesday.

The only game you can beat up Van dame as Kylie Minogue is worth some coin. also you didn't mention the irony that the MK crew wanted to make a blood sport game entirely around Van dame originally.

This video released on a particularly flat day for me and really improved my day, so thank you!

I actually really enjoyed this game when it was released for the PSX. I was about 11 years old and this was one of the earliest games I played on the system which I borrowed from my sisters boyfriend. I had only played new challengers before on SNES and Megadrive and seeing digitized graphics like this for the first time was a huge deal.

blessings to IT Studios for giving us Kylie Minogue with a accurate Cammy costume

Any chance of a "Wha Happun?" on the Legacy Of Kain series? I already know, but maybe if more people start talking about the series then SquareEnix might pull the IP out of the vault and give it the love that it deserves.

I didn't know Benny was the on set trainer. I love him in his Jackie Chan villainous roles.

4:23 that Superman arcade ost... *Chef kiss*

12:24 OH LORD THAT ACTING LMFAO! THAT IS BY FAR SOME OF THE STIFFEST ACTING I’VE SEEN IN MY LIFE!!!!

I dunno, Capcom trying to rework Street Fighter: The Movie for a home release was a valiant effort. Look, it was another year or two before Super SFII Turbo would find its way to the Saturn and Playstation... this was the only way to scratch that itch. ("Just buy a 3DO," you say? Yeah, good luck with that.) This was a good video, though. I learned a lot about the game's production that I didn't know before.

Sawada sounds like he was dubbed with text-to-speech.

You have a great series going, Matt. Happy for ya brother, wish you the best.

The Street Fighter movie while not great was still decently good. A guilty pleasure easily.

That game still gave us Kylie Minogue dressed as Cammy and that ain't bad.

This series is such an awesome way to learn about the backstories to these infamous games.

You did an awesome work, buddy! Where can I see more footage, particularly the ones where Benny Urquidez or Van Damme show some moves to the actors ? THANKS!
