Van Damme Street Fighter coming to Blu-ray

Capcom has announced that the 1994 Street Fighter movie adaptation staring Jean-Claude Van Damme will be brawling its way on to Blu-ray in February 2009.

Due to ship under the title of Street Fighter: Extreme Edition, this high definition re-release of the flick promises a multitude of special features, including a ‘Making Of’ featurette, deleted scenes, director commentary and BD live support.

The film also stars pop princess Kylie Minogue as British brawler Cammy, along with the sadly departed Raul Julia as M. Bison, who spends most of his time flying about on wires and booming orders from a laughably ostentatious levitation device of some description.

If that wasn’t enough to float your boat, keep in mind that Capcom’s latest instalment in the venerable fighting series, Street Fighter IV, is also due out on PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 that same month.

    I agree with PS3lady, the SF movie was an utter wash-out. But someone always loves those things and its there if you want it. Although, making an article about it is the saddest part of all...sorry PSU.lol.

    Street Fighter the movie was horrible.  Van Damme has redeemed himself in the film JCVD.  I suggest you guys check it out.

    A dream come true... NOT.
    It wasn't super bad but it was definetly lacking on several areas... and I saw it as a kid, I can't even begin to imagine what I would think of it if I were to watch it now.

    The only thing good that ever came out of that movie is the long running Nostalgia Critic joke.

    "OF COURSE!!"

    This movie was incredibly awful i dont know what were they thinking. The game is amazing and the movie is  offensive for the game specially now that SFIV is going o be released in the ps3. This should have stayed in VHS and lost forever.

    I think the only reason why PSU put this on here is because they wanted to see who had the best insults... so far I think it's the guy above me. Peace Out!!!

    i dont know which was worst Street Fighter movie or Mortal Komat and MK Annihilation. I would rather watch Mortal Kombat 1&2 before Van Damme in Street Fighter.

    Both the movie and the game sucked.  The game is based off a movie that is based off a game, it was destined to suck.

    Kylie has a nice bum.
