Street Fighter Trailer, My Thoughts

Some time back, I wrote about the teaser for the upcoming new live-action Street Fighter movie. I thought it looked like some harmless silly fun. So, let's travel back to the wild year of 1993 and look at this trailer!

Yeah, I don't see the point of this whole "Trailer Starts Now" thing. I mean, why is it here? I know it's a tiny little thing, only like, a couple seconds, but I just wonder why they do it. More curious than annoyed, to be honest.

Chun-Li: "LOOK AT MY NICE NEW BOOT!" She's very proud of her nice new boots. Can't wait to kick some butt in them.

I get the impression that Shadaloo here is kind of like Ancient Rome, a beautiful place with a very dark underbelly.

The people love them some Ken Masters. 

I think it would be nice if the trailer used a song from 1993. People were making music then.

I think Chun-Li is working undercover here. She's the one gathering the fighters and is hoping to have them help her take down M. Bison. Would fit her motivation in the games. 

I love that they let Guile have his wild flattop. 👍 

Ooh, El Fuerte did not have a good time in the ring that day.

Ken wasting perfectly good champagne. I mean for other people to enjoy, I'm a teetotaler. I do not drink alcoholic beverages.

Yeah, I'm betting Ken's arc is his rediscovering his fighter roots or something like that. Classic story, nothing wrong with that.

Heh heh, he's beating up a car. Another game reference.

Okay, now we got an actual 90s song here. And even better? "What's Up?" was actually released...in 1993!


Dear goodness, the size of that lad! Where did they find this guy? And what does he eat?!

Heh heh, you can tell Ryu and Ken are bros. Either that, or Ryu really owes Ken some money.

Well, the tournament is being held by M. Bison. Of course it's not going to be on the complete up-and-up.

Again, it would have been so funny if Cody Rhodes screamed "AMERICAAAAAAAAA!" as he gave Vega that Flash Kick.

Chun Li: "Oh yeah? Well, everyone goes crazy over your butt, but I don't see why!" 

Getting pile-driven into a car. That would SUCK.

...yeah, I'll be doing a lot of that during the movie.

Acknowledge Akuma. ☝

BLANKA.

Guile ain't lyin'.

AND WE HAVE A HADOUKEN! I love that it seemingly takes time to charge, like it's something that requires a lot of effort and concentration to pull off. You have to be good to pull off that move. 

Well, I was excited for this movie before, but now I am even more hyped! This film is going to be a fun time at the theater. I can't wait to watch this movie! Thanks for reading this blog entry!
