Street Fighter: Assassin's Fist

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.

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!

Street Fighter Assassin's Fist: Finally the story we have been waiting for, the way it was meant to be told. A brief but comprehensive history of the Ansatsuken fighting technique, the mythos that surrounds it and the destiny of 2 brothers and the paths they follow .From the masters that perfected the technique through the generations.

Hollywood has traditionally failed fighting game genres like street fighter with over the top fight scenes and special effect coupled with a weak storyline.SFAF does not fall in this trap , instead focusing on the story of the fighters,the history behind them and their motivation. The fight scenes are brilliantly done because they are integrated in a believable way, as the warriors practice and understanding of the ansatsuken technique grows.

For such a low budget offering, the storyline and "feel" of street fighter is faithfully upheld and expounded upon, this is my favourite rendition yet, culminating in the rivalry and friendship of Ken and Ryu....Very well done and thank you!!!

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.
