Street Fighter: Assassin's Fist

Excellent series, it gives Ryu and Ken the proper introduction and back-story they deserve. There's no real requirement to have a die hard knowledge of the street fighter saga to enjoy this but lets be honest if your watching this series its almost certain you've played at least one of the games, and if not, by the end you will have an higher understanding of the origins of two of the most central characters that made Street Fighter one of the most recognized titles in the fighting genre. I was unsure what style this would take but i was blown away, the cinematography is excellent along with the casting choices, there performances the writing and special effects, all come together to make this an original and authentic street fighter experience. Considering the budget for producing this series was small they make excellent use of the environment, they chose a perfect setting to gives this an authentic feel. The relationship between Ken, Ryu and Master Goken is excellent and gives the story depth, it also sets the stage for what looks to be an equally enjoyable second season. A big thanks to all involved and to all those that donated to kick-starter to help get this made. 10/10

The fans of Street Fighters have always expected for a faithful adaptation in live action, and I have to say this is the ADAPTATION. The martial arts, costumes, the nature of the characters, the atmosphere of the places, everything is very well done.

When I was a kid dreamed watch the power of Ryu and Ken, and with Street Fighter Assassin's Fist, I could see even more. I hope that people who love Martial Arts or Street Fighter, or both,take the time for watching Street Fighter Assassin's Fist, because they're gonna enjoy that time.

I hope this project continue and show us more characters.

This move is by far not the most exciting movie that I´ve ever seen. But it serves great fan service for lovers of the Street Fighter game franchise. You can find many details in this movie that remind you of the games - especially Street Fighter 4. So a definitely must see for all true Street Fighter lovers.

Mortal Kombat? Not quite.

Silent Hill? Sure, it was a spectacle to behold, but most fans of the series agree that, apart from the city itself, the plot was not much in line with the game's. You could argue that a movie doesn't necessarily need conform to its source material, but I would say that if you're talking about the "best" VG adaptation, then staying true to the roots is very important. SF: Assassin's Fist does that and then some.

I don't feel like I need to go into the details. If you watched it and left a comment, I'm gonna go out on a limb and say that you can cut and paste your review into mine. We're synonymous: Assassin's Fist was pure gold. My buddy calls it The Dark Knight of video game movies. Considering the budget, I have to agree.

I look forward to the next installment!

If you are a fan of the original SF games, you will love this. This series gives new birth to the street fighter franchise. It sticks to the authenticity of the game series and does a great job of portraying the street fighter characters that you loved as a child. The action sequences are amazing and executed very well along with the special effects which are not over the top.

The story is very well scripted and is true to the video games.The origin story of Ryu and Ken is very authentic and the focus on the details makes it satisfying to watch. The creators of the show have done a great job of capturing all the little details that make the characters so memorable.

As a hardcore fan of the street fighter games I hope this is the start of something great and look forward to future episodes. Would love to see more of the characters being introduced into the series. Shoryuken!!!
