This week on Shat the Movies, we're kicking some serious butt with Street Fighter (1994)! Join us as we dive into the live-action adaptation of the iconic video game, starring Jean-Claude Van Damme as Colonel Guile. It's a chaotic, campy, action-packed ride full of over-the-top performances, questionable fight scenes, and plenty of laughs. Whether you're a fan of the game or just love ‘90s action flicks, tune in for a hilarious deep dive into this cult classic! Plot SummaryIn the 1994 action film Street Fighter, directed by Steven E. de Souza and loosely based on the hit video game series, Jean-Claude Van Damme stars as Colonel Guile, the all-American military hero leading a multinational force to stop the evil warlord General M. Bison, played with over-the-top flair by Raul Julia in his final film role. Set in the fictional nation of Shadaloo, the movie follows Guile's mission to rescue hostages and bring down Bison's plans for world domination. Bison has kidnapped dozens of civilians and demands a massive ransom, threatening their lives. While Guile prepares for a full-scale assault, a tangled web of subplots unfolds: Chun-Li (Ming-Na Wen), a reporter with a personal vendetta against Bison, works undercover to get close to her enemy; meanwhile, hustlers Ryu (Byron Mann) and Ken (Damian Chapa) are caught between working with arms dealer Sagat (Wes Studi) and Guile's forces. Add to the mix Dhalsim, Blanka, Zangief, Cammy, E. Honda, Balrog, and Vega—many of whom are barely recognizable from their video game counterparts—and the film becomes a chaotic patchwork of characters and plot threads. Despite its wildly uneven tone, cheesy dialogue, and loose connection to its source material, Street Fighter has earned cult status thanks to its campy fun and Raul Julia's scene-stealing performance. His portrayal of Bison is operatic, charismatic, and quotable—offering the movie's most memorable moments. Join our podcast review as we revisit this infamous 90s video game adaptation, exploring whether its action, absurd charm, and unintentional comedy make it a guilty pleasure or just a first-round KO.

Vancouver-based filmmaker, educator, and podcaster Devan Scott joins to discuss Street Fighter: The Movie, based on the hugely popular Capcom video game franchise. Dismissed by both critics and fans of the game at the time of its release as a disaster, the film has since found a small but vocal faction of champions nearly 30 years later. We discuss the film as an example of what Devan calls "The Anti-Masterpiece": A film that through no fault of its author becomes an astonishing work, either in spite or because of a distinct lack of conventional competence. Then, we discuss the pleasure of watching a film featuring a massive ensemble cast, none of whom can seem to agree on what kind of movie is being made - from Jean-Claude Van Damme's incidentially self-referential Colonel Guile to Raul Julia's genuinely great, Shakespearean take on despotic warlord General M. Bison. Finally, we discuss the film's inadvertantly prescient take on the American imperial project of the 21st century, and how its caroonishness and brazen stupidity feel right at home in a post-Trump America.

In the Southeast Asian country of Shadaloo, where General M. Bison (Raul Julia) has been waging a war with the A.N. (the Allied Nations -- a U.N.-like military force) after he has taken several dozen A.N. hostages, putting them up for a ransom of $20 billion dollars. Leading the A.N. counterattack is United States Colonel William F. Guile (Jean-Claude Van Damme), a headstrong and gifted fighter that Bison can't wait to challenge in hand-to-hand combat. Many others would converge at Bison's stronghold, including television reporter Chun-Li Zang (Ming-Na), arms dealer Victor Sagat (Wes Studi), and a couple of roguish martial artists named Ken (Damian Chapa) and Ryu (Byron Mann).

Bison (Raul Julia). O conflito ganha importância mundial após Bison sequestrar 63 delegados das Nações Unidas, exigindo por eles um resgate de US$ 20 bilhões. Para libertar os reféns é designado o Coronel Guile (Jean-Claude Van Damme), que conta com a ajuda de Cammy (Kylie Minogue), uma oficial da Inteligência Britânica, e ainda dois heróis casuais em sua tentativa de invadir a fortaleza de Bison. Mas o plano de Guile pode ir por água abaixo devido a uma repórter de TV (Ming-Na) que quer aproveitar o momento conturbado para realizar uma vingança pessoal.
'Spiel-Filme x Jubiläum' - Olé ólé, die Eskapisten Lukas, Markus und Daniel feiern ihr einjähriges Jubiläum und haben für euch eine unfassbare Folge im Gepäck, das grad so scheppert! In der Jubiläumsfolge wird das vergangene Jahr natürlich gebührend zelebriert und resümiert. Dabei ruhen wir uns aber nicht auf unseren Lorbeeren aus - im Gegenteil: Im alles zerberstenden Mittelteil haben wir Videospielverfilmungen ins Visier genommen und besprechen eine größere Auswahl recht allegemein, um dann in gewohnter Eskapisten-Manier zwei ausgewählte Machwerke aus dem weiten Feld 'Spiel-Filme' ordentlich zu zerlegen! "Klempneralarm": Markus hat sich mit 'Super Mario Bros' aus dem Jahre 1993 die erste richtige Videospielverfilmung für große Leinwand rausgepickt - dabei gehen wir zunächst auf Marios Entstehungsgeschichte und anschließend im 'Verzockte Jugend'-Style auf unsere Erfahrungen mit der Mario-Videospielreihe ein, um danach en détail zu ergründen, was bei dem Mario-Realverfilmung eigentlich so alles schief gelaufen ist. Im Anschluss kann sich Daniel in ausschweifenden Monologen zu seinem Herzensthema 'Street Fighter' auslassen - hierbei geht es ebenfalls, um die Ursprünge und Geschichte der Fighting-Game-Reihe, um dann den Film 'Street Fighter - Die entscheidene Schlacht' mit Jean-Claude vom Damm per "Perfect K.O." auf die Bretter zu ballern. Das ist natürlich noch längst nicht alles: In der Rubrik 'Ich sehe was, was du nicht siehst' widmen wir uns den dem Drama-Highlight 'Gran Torino' von und mit Clint Eastwood, der HBO-Knaller-Serie 'Westworld'mit Ed Harris und Anthony Hopkins, der dystopischen Zukunftsvision 'The Cirlce' mit Emma Watson und Tom Hanks sowie den Games 'Sonic Mania' und 'Life is Strange: Before the Storm'. Alder Vadder! Doch was wäre eine Geburtstagsparty ohne Gäste - und davon haben wir reichlich dabei: Sascha von 'Sascha's Playlist' steuert seinen mittlerweile vierten Gastkommentar in der noch jungen Geschichte unseres Podcasts bei, der eine oder andere ist mit einem kleinen Grußwort am Start und in unserer großen 'Hörerfavorites'-Sektion berichten Küppi, Christoph, Klaus und Jens vom 'Nightcrow'-Podcast von ihren Highlights oder machen einfach das, worauf sie Bock haben. Vielen lieben Dank an dieser Stelle auch noch an alle Beteiligten dieser Folge! Beste! Doch Schluss mit all der Laberei: Wenn ihr wissen wollt, was Markus' Highlights und Daniels Flops aus dem vergangenen Podcast-Jahr waren, welche Videospiele wir gerne einmal verfilmt sehen würden und wer zum Teufel eigentlich dieser Hendrik ist, dann brettert euch unsere pickepackvolle Jubiläumsfolge in die beiden Öffnungen links und rechts an eurem Schädel! 00:00 Intro 01:12 Heeej und herzlich Willkommen... 03:16 Organisatorisches 12:11 Die Jubilare und ihr Jubiläum x Tops x Flops 29:43 Straight outta Atlantis / Vietnam / Mauritius 35:23 'Ich sehe was, was du nicht siehst' mit 'Gran Torino', 'Westworld', 'The Circle', 'Sonic Mania' und 'Life is Strange: Before the Storm' 60:19 Grußwort Li 61:14 Videospielverfilmungen - erste Schritte x Problemchen x Uwe Boll 74:43 's Listsche: Spiel-Filme durchballern im Schnelldurchgang 90:31 Sascha und seine Erfahrungen mit Videospielverfilmungen - Gastkommentar 'Sascha's Playlist' 108:02 'Super Mario Bros' 112:28 Geschichtsstunde in geil x 'Verzockte Jugend' light 122:30 'Supa Koopa Cousins': Markus ballert sich durch die erste Videospielverfilmung 196:50 'Street Fighter - Die entscheidende Schlacht' 201:43 History of the Straßenkämpfer x View over the Tellerrand 222:54 Daniel brettert durch die Kampfspielverfilmung 283:44 Wunschkonzert: Die Eskapisten pitchen Ideen für Game-Movies 298:15 Hörerfavorites 299:03 Küppi und seine 'Die Eskapisten'-Merchandise-Sammlung 318:03 Christoph expandiert in den Weltraum 326:48 Klaus über eine spotthässliche außerirdische Kreatur 338:51 Jens von 'Nightcrow' über unseren Podcast und seine Show 355:06 Nix wie raus aus dem Puff - Abmoderation "Für mich war es einfach nur ein Dienstag" - General M.
