Trailer Synopsis Cast

The most successful and most loved fighting video game of all time, Street Fighter', is finally being given the epic, and faithful treatment it deserves. Street Fighter: Assassins Fist takes us back to the formative years of the iconic characters, Ryu and Ken, as they live a traditional warriors life in the secluded, mountain wilderness of Japan. Training under their master, Goken, the boys are the last practitioners of the ancient fighting style known as Ansatsuken (Assassin's Fist). Originally developed as a killing art, masters of this style are able to manipulate their Chi/Ki energy into devastating special techniques of potentially fatal power. As Ryu and Ken learn about the mysterious past of their Master Goken and the tragic and dark legacy of the Ansatsuken style will the two best friends become bitter rivals as their training intensifies and reaches a climax?

It is not deep, but it is fun to watch. It does have a bit more of an edge to it than other similar films.

The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

I am inclined to believe all the 8-10star ratings are fake since it seems to be those people only reviewed this movie and nothing else. I watched the whole thing and I just can't give more than 3. The story is very primitive and narrow. The Nsync boy band fighters are a good laugh in the beginning until it becomes boring. Fighting scenes are OK at the most and perhaps fit the people who like those Chinese movies with flying monks, magic and other fake stuff. To me, it looked very fake. Everything from fighting scenes to the magical stuff perhaps can fit kids,but as an adult I can't force myself to take it all serious in any way or form. Acting is not very good at all. This is one of the main reason I was surprised to hear from those allegedly fake reviewers how they liked the acting as acting was pretty bad. Same goes for directing and of course the camera work - all what you'd expect from a very low budget movie.

So first let me say that I'm a huge street fighter fan.A lot of people seem to love this, but I was kind of left cold. Also, I didn't know this was a TV series- I saw it as a "movie" (all 180 minutes in one sitting). As you can imagine, I was constantly annoyed that this "movie" felt like a really drawn out TV show...so I'll try not to complain too much about pacing and call-backs, but I still have lots of positives and negatives to share: +The attention to visual details is awesome- especially in the choreography. The moves and poses the characters make could be taken directly from the game. This is the only street fighter movie/show I've ever seen that consistently keeps the choreography consistent with the game for every fight (for better or worse...).+Ken. He is the best part of the show, and for the most part he's fun to watch (when he's given something to do).+Acting (for most). Goki and Goken were very good, and Gotetsu was amazing. The show could have just focused on him.+Imagery. Occasionally, the show has some great shots- but these are few and far between...+True to canon. For the most part, this is what I thought the back story should be based on the video game.So now what I didn't like: -Too limited! My major complaint is that the show feels too limited in scope. Seeing the same sets used for 180 minutes straight was very tiresome. I was dying to see them leave the damn dojo and go do something! Maybe this is because it was a low-budget thing? Even so, the writing didn't quite sparkle on its own either, which leads me to...-Lackluster script. My second biggest complaint is that the script lacks heart. I didn't care about Ryu at all (and he's my favorite character!) and though the actor playing Ken was great, he was barely given lines to work with at all. Even the all-important back story with Goki and Goken was so abrupt and choppy that it felt completely unreal to me. Everything that was supposed to be important and emotional felt rushed and under-developed. The actors tried their best, but almost none of the lines gave them any personality or edge. The characters felt 2-dimensional (so to speak) and lifeless.-Sterile action. I love the attention given the individual moves and imagery from the game, but there comes a point where you need to loosen up a bit and get gritty. The camera work is all so controlled and remote; it felt like the whole damn movie was one medium shot and one wide shot. I always felt aware of the camera, and the characters were always at a "safe distance." There is so much redundancy in the camera moves, the action, and the choreography that the whole thing really lost my interest (visually) after the first hour.-Repetitive story structure. What bugged me the most about the "story" is that nothing happens or is motivated. Every "day" in the characters lives is the same; they're always sparring, or getting lectured, or standing still, and it gets old really fast. On top of that, their training is just plain dull. There's nothing at stake, and no reason for us to want them to succeed. There's ONE scene that takes place in the city, and it's the only time these characters even *remotely* feel like real people.So that's pretty much it. Overall, I think it's a wonderful tribute to the game, but apart from a few good fight scenes and spot-on imagery, everything else in this productions feels sterile, limited, and unmotivated. Maybe it works better watching it 21-minutes at a time, but I find it hard to believe it would be much more intriguing that way.Check out the anime series instead- Street Fighter 2 V. It's so much more satisfying and tells a much more interesting story.

I give 10★ for its consistency with the game, unlike most (if not all) ridiculous street fighter movies out there As the subtitle implies, the story focus on ken and ryu and the secret around their school style ansatsuken (assasin's fist), so, no u wont see street fighter tournament or it's many characters participant.The story itself been done real good and consistent with background story of the game series. They even carefully took care of small details trivia such the gloves and headband, again, consistent with the game time line.As a fan, u could easily recognize their style 'trademark moves' when they fight, not only the 'hado' set of hadoken-shoryuken-tatsumaki but also in their 'ordinary' punch and kick or even in some stance (not in all fight).Now i cant wait to see how they will do the 2nd season. And hopefully somebody will do the same approach with other great game series (e.g. soul edge/soul calibur, i think it has great potential and not been explored much).

This is how a video game adapted to TV-series.Beautifully filmed, great storyline and the best thing of all the characters and their customs done perfectly.The sound effect were very good if we put to our consideration that this is a fan film with low budget.The graphic effect again very good for low budget film.The action scene were AWESOME!! and the best thing in the whole series.This series and Joey Ansah more budget and more people and characters to be included in the series. also need more drama and character development.
