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

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

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

"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.

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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

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

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

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

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.

I still can't believe Kylie Minogue played Cammy

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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!

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

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

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 :)

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.

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.

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

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?

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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 .

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

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!!

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.

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.

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

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

But for me that day was a Tuesday

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.

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*

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

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.

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

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

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.

6:00 My Favorite Part of the Video.

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

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

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.

I think chalking up the decision to use digitized actors to "because Mortal Kombat was doing it" is shortsighted. It's the game of the movie, after all; making the character in the likeness of real people is an appropriate creative choice in this case, with MK being proof of concept. Using the literal actors instead of actual trained martial artists and rushing the whole thing too much to capture Street Fighter's style, THOSE were the true bad decisions.

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

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.

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

The videos Matt is making now makes me think he was really stifled working in TBFP. I had no idea that he had such high quality solo shit he's been making forever.

I thought Ernie Reyes Sr was Akuma, not Jr.

For all the hate the movie/game gets. We all have to admit they casted Cammy and Chunli correct! Also Zangief/Sagat

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

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 🌸

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

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

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.

That intro is still one of my favorite things ever

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

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

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?

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.

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

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

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.

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?

Okay, I'll admit that Time Killers wasn't actually good. But the idea of severing limbs to restrict your opponents move list was awesome. I'd like to see a similar idea in a better game for sure.

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.

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!

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

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

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

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

A side effect of the digital scanning technology is that Ming-Na Wen stopped aging from that point.

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.

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

JCVD said he knocked boots with Kylie Minogue while filming the movie....lucky bastard. =(
