Chiu kap hok hau ba wong

This Hong Kong version of the game "Street Fighter II" was way better than the Van Damme film of 1994. The characters actually emulate their signature moves in this action-comedy. I couldn't help but root for the heroes while laughing my head off. The only actor to look exactly like his character was Aaron Kwok as Ryu. The little music video with Jacky Cheung (Guile) is hysterical. If you see this film, get ready for a cameo from Dragon Ball Z's Goku!!!! It is awesome and if you're an anime fan, you gotta see it!!!!

This movie wasn't as bad as people say it was. I've never heard of "Street Fighters" so I didn't really care that it was parodying it. I guess it's the sort of movie you wouldn't pay more than $5.00 for, but it would make the perfect party movie. The humour isn't smart, but it isn't so stupid that you cringe. It's actually pretty funny. Andy Lau was adorable, Jacky Cheung was cute, and just the whole atmosphere of the film let you relieve yourself of any seriousness. I mean, you could just see that those in the movie were acting with such an inane silliness, and so you can't help losing yourself in the zaniness of the film. Totally not Oscar-worthy in any sense, but nice fluff to get your mind off work and just have fun! Andy and Jacky are great and the cast has a floating charm, so go watch it with friends.

Future cops is a cool street fighter based movie which came before Jean-Claude Van Damme's American version of Street Fighter the movie. It is insane also because instead of General Bison's organization "Shadaloo", they called it "The General". Vega is with the good guys?!. Also, Sagat has hair. In the game, Sagat is bald. What's up with Colonel Guile's hair? It is black all over. Plus, Ryu does not have a headband (like in the American version). Well, at least they made Ryu the main character but not Ken. And also, they mixed the movie up with Goku, a DBZ character. The story should be about Street Fighter (in Chinese). This movie is also a laugh-out-loud movie mixed with action. Anyway, I will give it 9/10.

In the year 2043, M. Bison is about to serve a hefty jail sentence but not if he can help it, he sends his best men Ken, Sagat and E. Honda back to the year 1993 to kill off the judge that originally jailed their leader. The government get wind of Bison's plans and send a crack team of officers to put a spanner in Bison's work, those officers are Vega, Guile and Dhalsim.

The three officers arrive in the past and befriend a bumbling high school student who is the butt of both the school's bullies and his sister's, Chun Li, jokes.

The three future cops begin their search for the judge before Bison's men can get their hands on him.

This movie was insane, I had heard many bad things about it so I didn't have high expectations when I out the disc in, I mean I figured it couldn't be as bad as it's made out to be.

So, basically it's Wong Jing's attempt at adapting the characters from the popular arcade classic Street Fighter II into a feature length movie, he had already played around with the characters in the Jackie Chan classic City Hunter in which Jackie and the other co-stars imitated the game in one scene.

Clearly Wong had enjoyed the experience he decided to stretch the whole thing out into a 90 minute movie.

First off I should mention when Wong began production he had "forgotten" to ask the developers of Street Fighter II if he could use the names and likenesses so what you see are names played around with i.e. E. Honda becomes Toyota and Sagat becomes Tai King and so on. Also the costumes are changed slightly but still have the look of the original characters.

The plot is a send off of Stephen Chow's Fight Back To School when the good guys disguise themselves as pupils at a high school and get into all sorts of wacky high jinks which for the most part work well on a brainless level.

The action in this one is scarce which is a shame since it is a fighting game which was the inspiration for this flick but when the action does occur it's fast and frantic, a trade mark of the action director Ching Siu-Tung's work, He styled the scenes to emulate the game play and he did it quite well, although the scene from City Hunter was a little bit better. Each of the actors display the signature moves of their respective characters.

Wong Jing's directing leaves little to be desired but the cast is pretty star filled for a Hong Kong movie, in here you've got Andy Lau, Jackie Cheung, Aaron Kwok, Simon Yam. Chingamy Yau, Dicky Cheung and Ekin Cheng.

Each actor gives a decent performance, well it is a comedy so there's not much reason to flex the acting muscles in this one.

My only problem is that the film should have given more screen time to Aaron Kwok as Ryu or as he's referred to in this Lung, he his a crazy fight with Ekin Cheng at the beginning of the movie and then you don't see him for the rest of the movie until right near the end.

Really this kind of movie could only be fully appreciated if you're viewing it with friends, preferably in a Mystery Science Theatre 3000 type of situation. I recommend you buy the movie if you can find it cheap, just try not to take it too seriously.

Future Cops (1994) was one of the last films that Wong Jing made using the STREET FIGHTER video game characters. This bizarre film that was written and directed by Wong Jing (fight direction by Ching Siu-Tung) is not only a violent affair but it's a hilarious end up of video games and teen comedies.

The movie begins sometime in the 25th century. A descendant of a great and powerful judge is in danger of flunking out of school. In order for the future to remain on it's current course, word has been received that the nation's enemies have built a time machine. They'll stop at nothing to make sure the 20th century descendant flunks out of school for good. To present this from happening, four of the best cops are sent back in time to watch over this kid. When they arrive in the 20th century, they see that the future's savior is a 28 year old high school student who's a total ween. His sister keeps him in check and he's oblivious from the affections of his hot girlfriend.

I don't know how to explain the rest of the movie. What occurs during the next ninety minutes goes beyond explanation. I don't even know where to start. But if you love slapstick comedy with heaping servings of low brown humor then you'll love this movie. If you have watched Wong Jing movies in the past and haven't already seen this film, what are you waiting for? Grab a copy of this movie today!! Stars Simon Yam, Andy Lau, Aaron Kwok Jacky Cheung, Chingmy Yau, Yuen King Tan, Ken Lo, Richard Ng, Charlie Yeung ,Dennis Chan and Dicky Cheung

Highly recommended.
