Street Fighter movie
Definition
A 1994 live-action action film loosely adapted from Capcom's Street Fighter video game series, directed by Steven E. de Souza and starring Jean-Claude Van Damme as Colonel Guile battling the villainous M. Bison.
Any of the cinematic adaptations of the Street Fighter franchise, including the 2009 prequel Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun-Li, known for their over-the-top martial arts action, cheesy dialogue, and questionable faithfulness to the source material.
Pop culture shorthand for gloriously campy '90s video game movies that prioritize muscle-bound heroes, world-ending plots, and enough one-liners to fill a Hadoken blast.
