"If good men do nothing, that is evil enough."

Welcome to my dojo, this is Kung Fu Pizza Party. Today, we are back at the Arcade again this time with a look at the 1994 cult classic Street Fighter starring Jean Claude Van Damme. Street Fighter is a rare example of a financially successful cult classic; a film so rejected by fans and critics that over 30 years later it has manged to gather a cult following. In this episode, I look at the many changes that the movie makes despite being clearly inspired by Street Fighter II, but also highlight how this film manged to make all the right decisions to become beloved later in life.
