Year: 1994
Director: Steven E. de Souza
Plot: Based on the popular video game Street Fighter II, Street Fighter stars Jean-Claude Van Damme as Col. Guile, the cocky but brave leader of an Allied Nations fighting force. When the evil General Bison (Raul Julia), the power-mad leader of Shadaloo, kidnaps a bus full of Allied Nations relief workers and holds them for a multi-billion dollar ransom, Guile and his team are sent in to do battle with Bison; aiding Guile is intrepid TV journalist Chun-Li (Ming-Na Wen), while a pair of con men (Damian Chapa and Byron Mann) try to play both sides against the middle for their own purposes. Raul Julia died of cancer shortly before the film was released. ~ Mark Deming, All Movie Guide

Body: Cast STREET FIGHTER II For about two years in my teens, I spent more time playing Street Fighter II than doing homework. I was best with Guile, who was so cool that I'd try to do Flash Kicks in my backyard. I even wished I had his blood type (Type O). Needless to say, the Street Fighter movie with Jean-Claude VanDamme (1994) was a bit of a let-down. Will Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun Li (coming out 2/27) be any better? Probably. But it can't be as good as the movies you come up with... Watch the trailer to The Legend of Chun Li Cast a STREET FIGHTER II film the way you think it should be. Free t-shirt for the best cast. Winner announced 2/20. Guile ... Chun-Li ... M. Bison ... Balrog ... Vega ... Sagat ... Ryu ... Ken ... Cammy ... Blanka ... Zangief ... T. Hawk ... Dee Jay ... E. Honda ... Dhalsim ... Fei Long ...

Body: There really is no demand for a sequel to Street Fighter, the video game-to-film adaptation that had the sad distinction of being Raul Julia’s final film. And while the franchise is alive and well through parody (College Humor’s Street Fighter: The Later Years) and a fourth–technically 15th–videogame spin-off, one must stop and wonder: who the hell cares? Now we have Kristin Kreuk, best known for being a damsel on Smallville, emerging for her first feature film lead role as Chun-Li! (You know, the one who does the kicks and turns herself upside down while spinning like a helicopter? No? Fine, nevermind.) The trailer is in Japanese, but allow us to translate for you: her family was killed by an evil organization (Shadowlaw) run by M. Bison (Raul Julia before, now…Neal McDonough?) and she’s going to get revenge with the help of her wacky sidekicks and CGI energy blasts. Not to mention obscene Wire-Fu and generic dramatic music. At least Andrzej Bartkowiak is no stranger to dumb, silly video game flicks. [TheBadandUgly] Originally posted on:SpoutBlog

Body: JCVD opens wide this weekend, and it’s no secret that I wasn’t a huge fan of the movie. Still, the screening I attended in Toronto was thronged with college students, howling at every mention of Van Damme’s name, so it’s safe to say that the Muscles from Brussels still enjoys a lot of popularity. It’s just unfortunate that people think that translates to JCVD being a good film. It’s not. So to swing the scales in the other direction, here are five moments from Jean Claude Van Damme films that are a lot more fun than anything in JCVD. Cutting a rug in Kickboxer Not only can Van Damme get his jam on (and is he playing air guitar a little bit?), he also kicks ass against all comers, without even missing a beat. The best part of the scene is the guy who snatches a bottle off the bar and breaks it, only to have Van Damme roundhouse him to the face. That guy sure didn’t look that determined, almost as if he knew what was coming. Inspiring the troops in Street Fighter You probably wouldn’t have expected Raul Julia, Kylie Minogue, Ming Na-Wen and Jean Claude to share the screen, but they did in this 1994 adaptation of the popular arcade game Street Fighter. Jean Claude addresses the Allied Nation troops after finding out that General Bison is holding hostages and demanding $20 billion dollars. He even does exactly what he promises in this speech: he gets in his boat, and goes to kick Bison’s ass. Patton had nothing on this guy. Fighting himself in Double Impact What’s better than one Van Damme? Two Van Dammes! He plays his own twin brother in this 1991 movie where they’re both out for revenge on the people who killed their parents. Separated after their parents died when they were kids, Chad was given a cushy living while Alex had to turn to petty crime to survive. Strangely, they both end up learning advanced martial arts training. In the above scene they square off against each other (’bad’ Van Damme Alex even slaps a girl!), but they eventually team up and go after their parents’ murderers. Classic Van Damme. Vs. Chong Li in the final fight in Bloodsport One of his first (and arguably one of his best) movies, Bloodsport follows the supposedly true events of American Frank W. Dux (Van Damme) as he goes to Hong Kong and fights in the illegal and underground Kumite match — which is a bit like UFC on major steroids. He fights through three rounds to end up against the reigning champion, and even though his opponent fights dirty, Van Damme still triumphs in the end. It’s a Rocky-like moment for martial artists everywhere. As ‘Gay Karate Man’ in Monaco Forever One of Van Damme’s first speaking roles ever was as ‘Gay Karate Man’ (no kidding) in the 1984 French film Monaco Forever. He has a small part as a man tooling down the road in karate wear for some reason, who gets a little fresh with a tuxedoed hitchhiker. When the hitchhiker tries to teach him some manners, Van Damme kicks the air a few times until the guy runs off in fast-motion, Benny Hill-style. His “Okayyyy” line directly to the camera is priceless. Originally posted on:SpoutBlog

Body: What Hillary might, can, and/or should say, courtesy of the cinema.If she decides the nomination is still worth pursuing, she would do well to rewatch Street Fighter (1994) and take her cue from Jean-Claude Van Damme.Street Fighter re-write:The pundits and party elders say this fight is over, we can all go home... But, we can all go home, meanwhile, ideals like truly universal health care, counting every vote and making history, they get packed up, and we can all go home. Well, I'm not going home. I'm going to get on a plane and I'm going to Denver and I'm going to kick that son-of-a-bitch Barack's ass so hard that the next inexperienced wannabe's gonna feel it. Now who wants to go home and who wants to go with me?Well, maybe not that last part. But you get the point.Original clip:President Clinton is already taking a beating from the pundits who ask "Did Bill kill Hillary's campaign?" The coverage of this campaign has been sensationalized and hyper-scrutinized, and blatantly unfair. But he should've expected that -- after all, they are the Clintons.When talking to Bill, someone close to Bill (maybe Chelsea) should invoke Morgan Freeman's character in Million Dollar Baby (2004).BILL: Its my fault - I killed her chances.FRIEND: Don't say that. Hillary walked through that door with nothing but passion. No chance in the world of being what the media wanted her to be. It was because of you that she was fighting to be the leader of the world. You did that. Dreams die every day - and you know what most people's last thought is? I never got my shot. Because of you, Hillary got her shot. If she dies today you know what her last thought would be? I think I did all right.Watch the scene here.Hillary will need confront Howard Dean, Nancy Pelosi, Donna Brazile, and the rest of the progressive-in-name-only Democrats who think its okay for the Democratic Party to abandon its base of women, Hispanic, and working-class voters.A Clockwork Orange's Alex shows her how to deal with bullies who think they know best.HILLARY: Welly, welly, welly, welly, welly, welly, well. To what do I owe the extreme pleasure of this surprising visit?HOWARD DEAN: We got worried, there we were waiting and drinking away at the old knifey Moloko and you had not conceded. And we thought you might have been like offended by something or other so around we come to your abode.HILLARY: Appy-Polly-Loggies. Its been a long primary season, and I have earned the right to take a few days to reflect on the experience before making any decision.PELOSI: We're sorry you lost, but there's no time to waste. You sure the pain is gone? You sure you might be happier back in New York.HILLARY: Lets get things nice and sparkling clear. This sarcasm, if I might call it such, does not become you. Now then, Barack. What does that great big horsey gape of a grin portend.DONNA: All Right, no more picking on Barack, Hillary. That's part of the new way. He's the chosen one.HILLARY: New way? What's this about a new way? There's been some very large talk behind my back, I know it.HILLARY: I had not cut into any of the Party's funding, because as far as I was concerned I could still be the nominee, but with the help of a few phonecalls to women Democratic fundraisers, the money train stopped and it did not take long to quiet the two party bosses down. Now they knew who was master and leader. Sheep, thought I, but a real leader knows, always when like to give and show generous to her unders. Well, now we're back to where we were, yes? Just like before and all forgotten? Right, right? Right, right? Right, right?Original scene in A Clockwork Orange: Originally posted on:Cerebral Politics
