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

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!

The people behind this project left us all salivating for the better part of a year waiting for this series and I was worried it would be a let down. The SF Legacy short film was alright but kind of cheesy with moments of greatness sprinkled in. I knew they had a decent budget this time(considering) and a lot more time to actually tell a story that SF fans all love. They nailed it! I didn't have high expectations going in but this series actually gave me goose bumps several times. The cinematography, music and acting(mostly) was fantastic. The writing was also top notch with just enough hum our to keep the pacing from getting stale. What they were able to do with a couple million dollars is really exceptional and I loved the series as a whole. The Asian man from across the lake was absolutely hilarious! The only thing keeping this from getting a 9 or even a 10 was Christian Howards acting. Most scenes where there was dialog were fine but there were a few where he just didn't seem believable. He absolutely nailed the look of Ken Masters however and better than anyone on earth potentially. The rest of the cast were fantastic though especially Gaku Space who played Goki and Hyunri who played Sayaka.

Overall this was a fantastic series and I will patiently wait the next chapter in the series no matter how long it takes!

From the actors chosen to the music and the setting of the short films, this rendition of Street Fighter is better than all of the movies made in Hollywood. It was great to see the story as the focus and the history instead of just the fighters. Everyone needs to watch this and help these guys get the recognition they deserve for just loving the game and franchise as we all do! Hearing the Japanese was amazing and I hope they do a 2nd, 3rd, and 4th season. Storyline 10/10 - They stayed true to the Street Fighter Story. Visual effects 10/10 - The graphics and animations used were very accurate and didn't cheapen the films at all. Actors 10/10 - the choice of actors used were very good and the actors really held true to a real life rendition of these characters. Music 10/10 - The music was amazing and held true to the franchise.

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.
