The first real trailer for the Street Fighter movie is filled with crowd-pleasing moments


We finally have a real-deal trailer for the upcoming Street Fighter movie, after a short teaser dropped at The Game Awards last year. This is nearly three minutes of fighting, silly dialogue and, of course, Easter eggs from the games.

To the latter point, there’s a scene of Ken beating up a car like in the bonus stages from Street Fighter II and footage of Ryu powering up one of his famous Hadoken fireballs. There’s even a cheeky reference to Chun-Li’s notoriously-large and powerful thighs. This is all helped along by the fact that the actors all look very silly and mostly accurate to the games.

The plot looks to be fairly standard for this type of adaptation. There’s a big, important fighting tournament and Chun-Li is recruiting people from around the globe, acting like the franchise’s Nick Fury or something. Ken and Ryu are beefing, M. Bison is involved in a criminal conspiracy (big surprise) and everyone else is punching and/or making snarky asides. It looks campy as hell, which is a good thing.

Street Fighter is directed by Kitao Sakurai, who made the film Bad Trip and was heavily involved with The Eric Andre Show. It hits theaters on October 16.

The cast is actually stacked. Noah Centineo and Andrew Koji lead the film as Ken and Ryu, but Jason Momoa is playing Blanka and Curtis ’50 Cent’ Jackson is portraying Balrog. Other actors involved include David Dastmalchian, Callina Liang, Cody Rhodes and Orville Peck.

This is the third attempt at a live-action Street Fighter adaptation. The 1994 film is famous for Raul Julia’s iconic performance as M. Bison and 2009’s Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun-Li is famous for being very bad.
