Street Fighter (1994)

Movies based on video games are more than likely going to suck. It’s not that they can’t succeed, it’s more that the people financing and shooting them usually have no idea what it was about the game that made it a success. With SF it’s as if everyone involved on the production side of things actually set out to make the worst film they could but they didn't count on Raúl Juliá being somewhat entertaining. He doesn't save it from the shit-bin, but he makes the scenes he’s in more bearable.
JCVD on the other hand tries to be serious. His efforts turn every second of his screen time into a face-palming session.
