Before live-action adaptions tried their hand, Street Fighter II: The Animated Movie brought Capcom’s iconic fighters to life in a beautifully animated, action-packed film that still holds legendary status among fans.
This striking Japanese poster captures the essence of the movie—Ryu in mid-air, lightning cracking behind a colossal Buddha statue, as Chun-Li, Cammy, and Ken prepare for battle below. The intense composition and cinematic flair made it clear: this wasn’t just a video game anymore. This was a martial arts epic.
🎞️ Released in 1994, this film delivered stunning animation, deep character exploration, and brutal fights that remained faithful to the series—especially memorable was the fierce hotel room brawl between Chun-Li and Vega. Fans finally got to see the world warriors in a new light, with a more mature and serious tone than what the arcade cabinets could offer.
✨ Fun Fact: The Japanese version of the film features an alternate soundtrack and slightly extended scenes compared to its Western release.
Whether you're a longtime fan or discovering this gem for the first time, Street Fighter II: The Animated Movie remains a vital piece of 90s anime and fighting game history.
