• 1:10
  Ooh baby Man who gets fucking impaled While taking a shit And singing to his
• 1:17
  girl In Friday the 13th Part 5 A New Beginning Now that is the icing on this
• 1:24
  cake of this fucking train wreck piece of shit Street Fighter.
• 1:30
  Whoa, you've forgotten a very important ingredient?
• 1:33
  Not only did they do that, they went and hired pop star and star of Neighbours
• 1:39
  Kelly Minogue as Camille.
• 1:42
  I didn't mention her. I was actually bringing on people that had a career and talent behind them.
• 1:48
  In the UK and Australia, Kelly was massive. Still is. No, she's not. Come on.
• 1:54
  As a pop star, she's massive. No, she's not.
• 1:57
  As a pop star. No, she's not. She re-recorded Locomotion for the kids and that
• 2:03
  was it my sister was a huge fan of her and if you fucking mention Neighbours
• 2:06
  one more fucking time are you the fucking producer of Neighbours or something,
• 2:10
  is there something I don't know right, right, okay but whether you think she's
• 2:16
  that aggrieved or not, it's beside the point she was still, and still is massive,
• 2:20
  a massive star in the UK and Australia and you know what, I like Kylie so do you ah, here we go,
• 2:28
  and this is where it shall begin Again, this is it, people,
• 2:34
  because fucking Rain Man over here has got a hard-on for fucking Van Damme and this shit.
• 2:40
  So, okay, you're going to give your review, but you cannot use the term 80s
• 2:49
  cheese, because this is not for the 80s.
• 2:51
  No, this is the 90s. Yes, it's 94. So, you cannot go and compare this to the
• 2:57
  classics like Commando, all right?
• 3:00
  You cannot, if I hear 80s cheese or you say something, whoa,
• 3:06
  it's kind of like what they were doing in the 80s. No.
• 3:11
  No reference to the 80s at all. And it's in the spur of the 80s cheese.
• 3:16
  Yeah. You know, you can't. That's it.
• 3:18
  That's the only fucking weapon you have. Because it's a lot better.
• 3:21
  That's probably a better weapon than what they had here because they're all toys.
• 3:24
  But okay. I love this phone. It's so entertaining. Yeah.
• 3:29
  Jesus this is so fucking and i
• 3:32
  admit that it's awful but i just i i just it
• 3:35
  makes me smile it puts me it breaks my heart
• 3:38
  it puts me in a good mood this film it breaks my
• 3:41
  heart that this is raul julia's last film but you know what fair play to the
• 3:45
  guy he did this for his kids he was dying of cancer sadly tragically and he
• 3:50
  because his kids like many kids including myself at the time were fans of the
• 3:54
  arcade game which is this is based on he did it for them and you know more power to him.
• 4:00
  You know, what a great way to sort of, you know, he did it for his family, his children.
• 4:04
  So, you know, rest in peace. Great guy for doing that. Yeah.
• 4:09
  And you know what? And the flip side of that is your lead actor,
• 4:14
  Jean-Claude Van Damme, was doing $10,000 worth of Coke a week and banging Kylie Minogue.
• 4:18
  Yeah. Yeah. So I would say, well, really, he really given his all too.
• 4:23
  So good on you, Van Damme. I would say as well, apparently, well,
• 4:27
  according, again, according to reports, Apparently Van Damme was very difficult
• 4:31
  here to work with due to his presumably addictions.
• 4:34
  Yeah. I heard he's, I met the guy once. What was he like?
• 4:39
  Plant Hollywood. I was working for them and I was opening up one of the stores.
• 4:42
  What was he like? I didn't really talk to him. He just did his famous kick.
• 4:48
  Yeah. He did that for pictures in front of the Plant Hollywood. Right. I met him.
• 4:53
  The league guys, which was, you know, Schwarzenegger. Yes. Willis.
• 4:57
  Yeah, I knew you had met them, yeah. Yeah, they were cool.
• 5:01
  Yeah. I never had a conversation with Van Damme. He was kind of a standoff. He's tiny.
• 5:05
  Yes, yes. Yeah, I got the impression he was small. Tiny Minogue's tiny as well,
• 5:09
  you know. Yeah, he must have chucked you around like a rag doll. I don't know.
• 5:14
  But apparently, according to reports. I can see those two. It'd be like those
• 5:18
  two Muppets from Teen America.
• 5:21
  Yeah, yeah. Yeah, well, apparently, though,
• 5:25
  while the cast and crew did not get on well with Van Damme, you know,
• 5:31
  whenever they were filming this,
• 5:32
  apparently, on the other hand, they absolutely loved Kylie because Kylie,
• 5:36
  well, she wasn't doing shit loads of coke for a start, but apparently she would
• 5:40
  have brought everyone, after a day filming,
• 5:42
  she would have brought everyone out for drinks and food on her.
• 5:47
  She would have, you know, treated them, you know, and that doesn't surprise
• 5:50
  me. She always comes across as very nice.
• 5:52
  Yes, her acting abilities are probably at best.
• 5:55
  But her acting abilities is two things.
• 6:01
  She winces a lot. Yes. And she's always out of breath. Yes.
• 6:06
  And the big one is it always looks like she's got an incredibly,
• 6:12
  she's taking an incredible shit in her face.
• 6:15
  It just looks like powerful emotional stuff.
• 6:19
  You know And see whenever she's doing Like the kung fu stuff You know And she's going Dropkick,
• 6:25
  It's like It's like My three year old niece Doing an impression Of the Terminator
• 6:30
  It's so It's like watching a child You know There's a scene where,
• 6:35
  After the bone explodes You think they're dead But they're not clearly Yes They
• 6:40
  ambush three guards And she's kicking them Yeah Yeah There's Van Damme Doing
• 6:45
  Van Damme Van Damme is you know Badass with his kicks and shit Yeah He gets
• 6:48
  flammed And then you've got,
• 6:49
  you got Ming Nguyen played Chun Li. She's quite badass.
• 6:53
  Then you got fucking idiot Kylie Minogue and she's like, yeah, yeah.
• 6:58
  It cuts to her face and then you can, and she jumps on top of one of the soldiers
• 7:02
  and wraps her legs and it's clearly a stunt double. Oh yeah.
• 7:04
  The stunt double is the funnest part because it's.
• 7:09
  You can't, because Kylie Minogue's so bad in this, or miscasted,
• 7:13
  is because you can't picture her doing these. She's completely miscast.
• 7:19
  Yes, it's not like Von Daum, you don't care because it's Von Daum, he can do what he wants.
• 7:23
  But this, you're still laughing, even though you've got a stunt double who's
• 7:28
  doing the actual stunts and looking pretty impressive, you can't stop laughing
• 7:31
  because you know that girl is not Kylie Minogue, and you know that Kylie Minogue can't do this.
• 7:35
  And then it cuts to Kylie Minogue with the emotional face on her.
• 7:39
  Her work yeah like that that's it she has that i'm on
• 7:41
  a breath bowel movement yeah kind of look yeah yeah
• 7:48
  i mean yeah to be
• 7:51
  fair though that they are there we go
• 7:54
  they do sort of stick to the game where
• 7:57
  they give her the wee catchphrases like you know cammy and
• 8:00
  the game she's actually actually the character in the game is actually british
• 8:03
  but i'm presuming that kylie couldn't do a convincing and enough british accent
• 8:06
  so they made her australian so but but cammy uh actually does in the game does
• 8:11
  say those wee things like whenever she does a drop kick just in case you know
• 8:15
  the people don't know that it's a drop kick she goes drop kick.
• 8:21
  Yeah and all around to do stay true to the characters of the game here you know
• 8:25
  there's no story to the game obviously as we discussed before this podcast you
• 8:29
  know it's just fighting but you know so they've got a bit of a job on their
• 8:32
  hands anyway to create a story around these No, they don't. But they stay true
• 8:36
  to the character. What's the job on their hands?
• 8:37
  How hard is it to create characters?
• 8:39
  They have names. Yeah.
• 8:42
  No, no, but they stay true to the... What do they stay true to?
• 8:48
  Well, basically... They keep the characters from the game. It's not like... Not said, not said.
• 8:54
  You know, and yes, they sort of, you know, there's a lot of sort of additional
• 8:57
  backstory they give them, credit to them, you know?
• 9:00
  Like, Ryu and Ken are basically hustlers, for example.
• 9:05
  Yeah, let's talk about... I'll stop there for a second. Let's talk about those fuckers and Victor.
• 9:09
  It's pretty much... Because the movie's geared around really Ryu, Ken, and Victor.
• 9:13
  Yes. And Chun-Li. Yes. Those are the characters. And then Van Damme,
• 9:17
  Kaini, and Bison are kind of the wraparound characters.
• 9:23
  Yes. But it's those ones you're focusing on.
• 9:26
  And it's really the day in the life of a con artist, because that's what Ken and Ryu are.
• 9:31
  Yes. And they go on a journey. We talk about arcs. They do go on an arc.
• 9:34
  And even Ken. Oh, my God. You said that so seriously.
• 9:37
  You actually said that seriously. Ken, at the end, has a Han Solo moment where
• 9:43
  he says, where he beats selfish and goes to take himself off.
• 9:47
  And then, but he decides not to and to come back and fight for his mate, Rao, and the good guys.
• 9:52
  Zanjif, the Russian guy, you know, the stupid Russian guy, he's a character in the game as well.
• 9:57
  He has an arc where he turns good in the end and helps him. Wow, very powerful. Wow.
• 10:05
  Maybe I'm seeing this film now in a different light. Thank you, Trevor.
• 10:10
  In the country of Shabaloo Boo or whatever you call it yeah I don't know who
• 10:15
  the fuck it is Jesus Christ I just want to ooh baby ooh baby DJ as a character,
• 10:22
  all of the characters are here,
• 10:25
  But it's not that hard to do that. Did you realize that?
• 10:29
  Okay, let's get that over. Anyone can just put a name. Okay,
• 10:33
  oh my God, how do we do Street Fighter?
• 10:35
  I got it. We'll give them the names.
• 10:39
  I was a bit disappointed that we didn't see more of Blanka and Dhalsim, who here is Dr.
• 10:46
  Dhalsim, played by the guy from Temple of Doom.
• 10:50
  You know it's always good when you deck one guy from Temple of Doom.
• 10:53
  Well see that see that actor who plays dr
• 10:57
  dalcy menace he's a very serious indian actor british
• 11:00
  actor rosh i think it's named yeah roshan see sap
• 11:03
  yes well he's on record as saying
• 11:06
  that you know whenever he came on the set he knew he was going to be playing
• 11:08
  this mad scientist and stuff and and he was asking serious questions about how
• 11:13
  to approach the role and stuff and what's this character's motivations and all
• 11:17
  that's here he said that nobody knew so he just gave up and just That's what
• 11:21
  he was told. Here it was. He just like, whatever.
• 11:27
  That's what everyone was told. Yeah. You know.
• 11:32
  Simon Callow's in here as well. Very serious British actor. Plays Charles Dickens
• 11:35
  a lot. Yeah. Yeah. I know.
• 11:39
  Yeah. So he can have 150 hostages, including Charlie. That's one of our boys.
• 11:45
  Guile. Yeah, Guile. He becomes a freak man.
• 11:49
  And he does it. they do it, this is so stupid.
• 11:53
  It looks like bags of Gatorade and they're putting the IV in them and they're
• 12:00
  showing him hostile videos.
• 12:02
  Yeah. So they're pretty much just they're doing a Clockwork Orange here, right? Yeah. And,
• 12:07
  We'll save the outcome because it's the funniest fucking moment in the entire film.
• 12:11
  And there's a lot of them. It's a cross between Frankenstein's monster,
• 12:15
  the clockwork orange, and the Incredible Hulk.
• 12:19
  I was waiting for you to go, Charlie's sad.
• 12:23
  Charlie, I'm sad. Don't make me angry. You don't like me when I'm angry.
• 12:27
  I was waiting on that. Terrible. Terrible.
• 12:31
  Everything in this film looked terrible. Everything. Everything,
• 12:35
  the clothing designs, the camouflage they were wearing. What was with the pink?
• 12:41
  The everything. They're keeping with the character's outfit.
• 12:44
  Terrible. From the game? Terrible.
• 12:47
  Fuck me. I don't think it's up. I think the set design and stuff's pretty good.
• 12:50
  Oh, my God. It looks something. It looks like from a game show.
• 12:55
  It's horrible. You know you see it. You can tell us. What?
• 13:00
  Don't jump. We're not. Is this about the scenery? This isn't about something else.
• 13:05
  Okay, far enough. I'm talking about the scenery. Right. Yeah,
• 13:08
  I mean it's- Okay, so if you jump in and you start talking about- It's decent. Fucking- What?
• 13:13
  The scenery and all and the set design and stuff.
• 13:17
  Terrible. The costume design is decent? It's right up there at King Selman's
• 13:19
  Mines. No. Right up there at King's. They took it. Yes, it is.
• 13:22
  That's a million times better.
• 13:23
  The only decent set piece they- Fuck off. The only decent set piece they have
• 13:26
  here is the fucking thing he floats on. That's kind of cool. Yeah.
• 13:30
  And it's geared up like the game console That's right Which is a nice north,
• 13:35
  Yeah that's a nice There there you go That's it That's it,
• 13:39
  Because the outfit that fucking Bison wears, he's got these armor pieces that look like plastic.
• 13:47
  You can see it's shaking.
• 13:50
  It's so cheap, and it's terrible. But it's the same costume that he wears in
• 13:54
  the game, so at least they're being true to that.
• 13:57
  Don't give a shit. But you should if you're a gamer. Why would you give a shit
• 14:02
  if it looks like this? I'm not even a gamer. That's the best about it.
• 14:04
  But why would you be okay with this outfit knowing it looks like that?
• 14:09
  It looks like something you would build in your basement when you're going to
• 14:13
  kindergarten school and you have to dress up as a robot.
• 14:16
  And you're saying the Hulk thing's good looking? That's good,
• 14:19
  that's good, that's cool too. That's good looking, the Hulk.
• 14:22
  What do you guys think about Charlie's makeup?
• 14:24
  I would say it's possible in terms of the costume. Oh my God.
• 14:26
  For the type of film this is, I mean, let's face it, this ain't Shakespeare
• 14:29
  and it's not meant to be, even though sort of Raoul is sort of playing it like
• 14:32
  a Shakespearean villain.
• 14:34
  Again, like Langella does in Masters of the Universe, which we've just discussed.
• 14:38
  Langella. Yeah but you know what I mean To me the design and the costume design
• 14:43
  And all it's possible The design work in He-Man the Master of the Universe Which
• 14:48
  came out 7 years earlier Is 3000 times better than this I think it's possible here 3000.
• 14:55
  This is crap This is terrible,
• 14:59
  And this is worse than a canon film That came out 7 years earlier This is more
• 15:04
  entertaining to me No it's not
• 15:06
  and that's it's it's wow so
• 15:10
  so bison wants
• 15:14
  to create the super soldier and build what i think is a city bisonopolis something
• 15:19
  like that yes that's crap what whether it's not whether it's basically it's
• 15:24
  face printed on the money is chun
• 15:26
  li a ninja yes but she's also a reporter journalist yeah Of course she is.
• 15:34
  And also, the reason she's after Bison is because he basically went into her
• 15:40
  village and basically massacred them all, including her family.
• 15:44
  Yeah, and Badam has his best part. His best fucking stupid.
• 15:49
  He gets a plan with Ryu and Ken. Ken's supposed to shoot him.
• 15:53
  And then he dies. Which was the worst.
• 15:56
  It was terrible. Terrible, and there's Kylie Melo crying.
• 16:01
  I'm like, oh, fuck me, this is terrible. Okay, Meryl Streep here.
• 16:06
  And he must be holding in his breath. I mean, I love, you know.
• 16:09
  Yeah. And here's the best part. So Chun-Li-
• 16:13
  breaks in to the headquarters where he's been brought, taken, whatever.
• 16:19
  Yes, the morgue. And she's got her ninja gear on, and she's flipping around,
• 16:22
  doing her thing, and she gets there, and he's still lying there in the morgue, not breathing. Yeah.
• 16:29
  And he pops up, and she's like, what?
• 16:34
  And then they all go, ah, you'd be here. So you've been playing dead for like six hours?
• 16:40
  Yeah. When everyone in that room Knows you're not dead It's a complete contrivance
• 16:45
  for the sake of a stupid joke Where it's basically like you know whenever you
• 16:48
  were a kid You used to put a blanket around you and go boo It's basically that
• 16:52
  type of joke You know so all of this contrivance That's terrible that's really
• 16:57
  bad And then There's a line where he's,
• 17:00
  You gotta go you can't be here Yeah This is not about a personal Vendetta and
• 17:08
  then she leaves and then he's like, it's about mine.
• 17:14
  What the fuck? This time it's personal with Van Damme.
• 17:17
  Yeah, he says, yeah, it's not about your personal vendetta and then when she leaves it's about mine.
• 17:22
  Yeah. I think it's worth establishing as well that you know,
• 17:25
  his character, Van Damme's character Guy, basically works for the Allied forces
• 17:30
  who's in this country, this made up country of Shabaloo Boo or whatever,
• 17:34
  I don't know, to basically take down the evil dictator caterer,
• 17:37
  bison name, bison, and that's pretty much it.
• 17:40
  But also there's gunrunners in the background, Sagat and Vega,
• 17:44
  you know, with the mask and the claw.
• 17:47
  Victor. Yeah, yeah. That's Westudy. Yeah, yes, I know, and he's actually decent in this.
• 17:53
  So he is all things considered.
• 17:56
  He has a presence, so there's actually quite a lot going on in this script.
• 18:01
  I love how you're like, wow, now you're saying this This is a great script. Wow.
• 18:08
  It's decent. You know what? Oh, my God, dude. It's a decent script.
• 18:12
  Dude, it's not a decent script. Yes, it's terrible. It's extremely silly.
• 18:16
  It's terrible. No, it's extremely silly, but they're doing the best with a lot
• 18:21
  of silliness, if you know what I mean.
• 18:23
  They're doing their, oh, they're not.
• 18:26
  Steven Shazooza, there's no, 35 million budget.
• 18:29
  And now I won't say. You shouldn't have played this too serious.
• 18:34
  It's based on. He-Man. I'm going to go back. He-Man wasn't even close to that
• 18:39
  budget and they pulled it off.
• 18:41
  This doesn't. Not even close. This is terrible. It's considered one of the worst
• 18:46
  movies ever made. And it definitely is.
• 18:48
  It's, you know. Yeah. It's extremely silly. But you like it.
• 18:51
  No, you just give everything passes because it's stupid silly.
• 18:55
  No, no. You don't look at competency. You don't look at competency. competency you don't
• 18:58
  look at the actors who are actually in it they are competent you don't look
• 19:01
  at the director or the writer behind it who's the same thing but who
• 19:04
  should we give us more yes my point that's why i made
• 19:07
  that intro in the beginning everyone involved in this
• 19:09
  film should have gave us more it's the only one who did was the man who's dying
• 19:13
  sadly is raul julia and then i mean i'm sorry stevens is used as the blame for
• 19:19
  this of course he is and van damme and these guys are a in their game i'm not
• 19:24
  saying you give us this shit that's that's the problem I'm not saying this is
• 19:28
  a good film. That shouldn't be like this.
• 19:29
  I'm not saying this is a good film. I'm saying it's bad. You always do that,
• 19:32
  though. You give movies passes for being shit.
• 19:34
  I understand if they're Ed Wood style, where, God, they're silly idiots.
• 19:40
  He's trying his best. God love him. This isn't Ed Wood. This is a serious budget,
• 19:46
  serious people behind the producing team, serious director and writer,
• 19:51
  serious cast, and this gets a pass from you because it's silly.
• 19:55
  It's not supposed this is terrible terrible filming it's tricy fun it's entertaining
• 20:00
  but i'm not saying that that is not me saying that it is good filmmaking art
• 20:04
  is in any way competently made uh apart from um royal julia,
• 20:09
  You know, there are a few sort of good bits and pieces in here.
• 20:12
  I am sort of winding you up as well, but I'm making points too.
• 20:17
  But like Ed Wood, this is, there's still an- You can't say like Ed Wood. No, no.
• 20:22
  It's not like Ed Wood. That's my point. I just said that to you.
• 20:26
  No, yes. I just said that to you.
• 20:28
  Ed Wood wasn't a comp in the filmmaker, was not a comp. That was the whole point
• 20:31
  of Ed Wood and his charm. Yes, I understand. He was a fanboy first.
• 20:35
  But this film has charm too, that's what I'm saying. No, it doesn't.
• 20:38
  It does to me no it doesn't and maybe
• 20:41
  it's nostalgia reasons because i'm not a gamer i've never been
• 20:44
  a gamer really but as a kid a teenager i loved
• 20:48
  playing the arcade version of street fighter
• 20:50
  2 and this is actually based on super street
• 20:53
  fighter 2 you know just to make that clear but oh
• 20:58
  yeah for all your fans out there just want to make that clear
• 21:01
  no i mean don't get me wrong i know this
• 21:04
  is complete and utter nonsense and badly made nonsense
• 21:07
  but to me there is some legible about the silliness
• 21:10
  and just a pure nonsensical over the
• 21:13
  topness of it i i just enjoy it
• 21:16
  makes me smile i enjoy this i come away from
• 21:19
  watching this anytime i watch it in a good mood i can't
• 21:23
  help it it's just the way i am you know what i mean and yes there's nostalgia
• 21:26
  there why i'm because i was such a fan of the arcade game and stuff and it brings
• 21:30
  me back to whenever i was 15 and hanging about with my mates you know the back
• 21:34
  of that shop and playing the arcade game you know and you know it was a good
• 21:37
  time and stuff so maybe i am tainted by nostalgia but i'm not in any way saying
• 21:42
  this is a good film it's complete and utter nonsense.
• 21:45
  But i always enjoy it i have a real soft spot for it so sue me you know that's
• 21:52
  that's great you said it's the best film ever made that's fine that's new that's
• 21:55
  what we like so the government are just going to pay the $5 billion.
• 22:00
  Yes. Who's going to pay $5 billion for 150 people? No government's going to pay that for 150 people.
• 22:05
  Yeah, they could in reality, but they wouldn't either, you know what I mean?
• 22:08
  I know, but they decide they're going to do it. And then Jean-Claude Van Damme
• 22:13
  gets up on the podium in front of 20 people, 20 people.
• 22:17
  He's, we got to do this for us, blah, blah, blah. He's with me.
• 22:21
  Yeah. And they all go with him.
• 22:24
  So they all get disobeyed the government, which would never happen,
• 22:26
  but okay. But basically what happens is mutiny.
• 22:29
  This is a rebellion against the allied governments.
• 22:34
  I love how you're really reading.
• 22:38
  I love how you're like Steve Zalian wrote this for Spielberg.
• 22:44
  I love how you're trying to really flesh out the characters and the story.
• 22:48
  There's nothing here. You're really taking it to the next level.
• 22:52
  You're making it sound smarter than it is. You're trying to find a smart egg here.
• 22:57
  And there is. I love Simon Callow was the, you know, the uptight sort of British
• 23:02
  politician type, you know. Again, that's pantomime stuff. But yeah.
• 23:08
  So they decided to go and get Bison, you know, but they've also got Ken and
• 23:13
  Rau who are like on the cover.
• 23:15
  Yeah, they got Lee. They got Lee too. And there's a scene where she's trying
• 23:19
  to manipulate, you know, flirt with Bison.
• 23:23
  Yeah. It's so bad. I know. And he goes, I know women very well.
• 23:28
  You know what? And I know, I know Zungfish.
• 23:31
  He goes, I know, I know, I know women very well. And I know you're harmless.
• 23:38
  And then she goes, I want you to think that. And she busts through her fucking
• 23:43
  chains or whatever it is. I'm like, oh, fuck off. Yeah.
• 23:47
  You know what is, there's no denying this is not a brilliant line.
• 23:51
  This is just a superb line where she gives this whole emotional story about,
• 23:55
  you know, killing her family and her village and all this here.
• 23:58
  And then he can't remember it. And it's brilliantly delivered by Roald Jule
• 24:02
  goes, for you, you know, me killing your family was the most important day of your life.
• 24:08
  But for me, it was Tuesday.
• 24:13
  You cannot argue that that is a brilliant line. I'm brilliantly delivered.
• 24:18
  I love how you use brilliant.
• 24:21
  Oh, but I know that's fucking comedy gold and just sort of, you know, just brilliant line.
• 24:29
  So the Hulk's revealed. This is terrible.
• 24:33
  This just gets worse and worse. worse then has
• 24:37
  a change of heart well you know i think he was always like a good guy
• 24:39
  just sort of it seems like all the bad guys that bison had all become kind of
• 24:44
  good guys like victor and dj technically and then you had ryu and ken ken mainly
• 24:51
  gets his full arc and then you've got his big henchman dude you got all these
• 24:55
  guys who seem to oh yeah okay we're cool,
• 24:58
  yeah even sort of sagat and vegan dj all sort of sort of team up at the end
• 25:03
  as well but yeah laughing,
• 25:07
  Also, E. Honda's in there as well, and the boxer guy from the game,
• 25:10
  you know? I don't know. I don't know. I don't care.
• 25:13
  I love when, so Charlie, the freak.
• 25:18
  Yes, yes. Runs into Van Damme, and he goes, he goes, help me.
• 25:24
  Please, help me. And then Van Damme goes, no problem, no problem.
• 25:29
  I'm going to help you. And he whips out the gun and you shoot him in the face.
• 25:32
  I've already seen videos that he's watching on the boat on
• 25:35
  the way there where they're like having dinner with their wives and girlfriends and
• 25:38
  stuff so it's like like the form this emotional connection between
• 25:42
  these two guys and then next thing he's just like sort of
• 25:44
  blasé okay i'll help you out and then i go shoot him in the head
• 25:47
  only dr dalcine stops him yeah the
• 25:50
  villain stops him yeah and and then
• 25:53
  yeah and even charlie's quite
• 25:56
  coherent yeah he knows who he's he goes oh he
• 25:59
  goes help me and he's gonna shoot him even pet like don't shoot
• 26:02
  me like what the fuck well that's because now you're
• 26:05
  gonna help me the reason he's struggling between good and bad is because
• 26:08
  um you know there's this whole conflict there this sort of deep sort of internal
• 26:12
  conflict between you know going between good and bad is because doctor we go
• 26:16
  internal conflict it's because there's no internal conflict no there is because
• 26:22
  dr dal team has a change of heart whenever he's shown in the images who shows him like nice images of
• 26:27
  like i don't know fluffy bunnies and ships um so he's
• 26:31
  getting bombarded with like then two sets of images you know it goes from clockwork
• 26:36
  orange to like fluffy bunnies and stuff so like he's like part good and part
• 26:39
  bad again in keeping you know with the character in the game the internal conflict
• 26:45
  i wanted to see more of blanca he's a big character in the games.
• 26:51
  Yeah, okay, sure. Not bad, it's bad.
• 26:55
  And I wanted to see Dalsim's stretchy arms and legs, which he has in the game,
• 26:58
  but presumably they couldn't afford to go that far with the special effects
• 27:01
  we might've seen in the sequel.
• 27:03
  And then Ken and Ryu have their moment when Ryu goes, stops.
• 27:07
  He goes, Ken, I'm not leaving.
• 27:09
  I'm going back to help these people. And he goes, and he's like,
• 27:12
  hey, they're being paid to do this tonight.
• 27:16
  He goes, they're paying for this.
• 27:18
  They're being paid to fight. and Raoul goes, I have something worthwhile. I'm going back.
• 27:24
  And Ken's like, I don't understand. I knew you wouldn't.
• 27:28
  Very powerful. That's Raoul's character. Don't start. Don't start overanalyzing this.
• 27:35
  Raoul has become, over the course of the events, he's rediscovered his humanity. So he has.
• 27:42
  Ken does as well later on, but he's just a bit delayed on it. You know?
• 27:48
  This is all about character arcs This is a character piece You know this whole thing,
• 27:54
  Oh god I love how Doc and Charlie decide To stay in the freak show place To try to fix them,
• 28:03
  We're going to stay here Do the right thing Yeah I'm going to help this freak
• 28:08
  And I'm going to do the right thing It's very powerful,
• 28:12
  Oh yeah totally It really hits you It's a
• 28:15
  real emotional core you know and then
• 28:18
  fucking bison gets electrocuted and then he's got a
• 28:21
  built-in reviving suit that gives him adrenaline and pumps his heart back up
• 28:26
  i can't keep him with the game because in the game he can like turn electric
• 28:29
  and fly so you know at least yeah yeah i didn't see those ropes at all when
• 28:34
  he was flying that wasn't no look at this trickery witchery that he could do this,
• 28:41
  they're actually a good bit whatever in the comment before the the final fight
• 28:44
  where Van Damme does a guile kick from the video game but he's basically flat
• 28:50
  but he's obviously clearly on ropes as well.
• 28:53
  And the ending when all of a sudden there's a photograph of him.
• 28:57
  They're all paused. Yeah.
• 28:59
  I was like, what the fuck did this come from? They do this big jump up and go, yeah!
• 29:04
  That's so stupid! Oh my god, this is terrible! And DJ has escaped with the money
• 29:10
  but then he finds out that But, you know, he thinks that's him.
• 29:13
  He's basically a mercenary. He's basically shafting Bison.
• 29:17
  He's saying, I'm out of here. And he grabs the money. But it turns out the money's worthless.
• 29:22
  And he's there with Victor Sagat and Vega and stuff. But it's a stupid money from earlier on.
• 29:29
  With Ben Bison, it's worthless. And Bison's face on it.
• 29:33
  Yeah, it's a piece of shit. So, 30 minutes. Perfect. We can end this. We're done. Rob Kick!
• 29:41
  Two of the directors didn't say that. Yeah, this is...
• 29:45
  People know how I feel about it. No big deal. I'll defend it. So we're done.
• 29:48
  While I appreciate and I agree with you that it is a big load of crap and a
• 29:52
  big load of nonsense and silliness, I can't help liking it. It's just a fun film.
• 29:58
  So it is. But, each to their own.
• 30:02
  I'm happy to go against the general public's sort of opinion on this.
• 30:09
  So thanks for listening.
• 30:12
  You can give us a shout out at SinisterFrame underscore podcast on Instagram and of course Facebook.
• 30:18
  I apologize for Trevor's comments and making this more than what it really was or is.
• 30:26
  And we'll just end with that. Yep. And thank God we're going to better films
• 30:31
  now because that ends Bad Cinema time.
• 30:35
  But we'll have to come back. I think we do got to do Lost City of Gold.
• 30:38
  Oh yeah, we'll have to follow it up. yeah we'll have to follow it up and do
• 30:42
  you know that there was actually there was sequels I think there's at least
• 30:46
  one or two sequels to this Street Fighter film The Legend of Chong Li,
• 30:52
  but they're not direct sequels I think they're just like sort of spin-off types
• 30:55
  you know separate to this particular version no,
• 31:02
  didn't care to know about that I think they were straight to video I could have
• 31:06
  judged that fucking hell.
• 31:11
  You got the ad for nothing about the film anything else you want to add before
• 31:15
  we end this just a yeah no no for a change of actually nothing more to say you,
• 31:25
  know what I did get something from Street Fighter
• 31:28
  what did you ever shut up Trevor can't stop that's it that's how good Street
• 31:35
  Fighter is because it's It actually gets me to shut up and actually just sit
• 31:39
  there and just be immersed in the storytelling prowess and the sort of creme de la creme of,
• 31:47
  you know, the acting magnum opus of the likes of Kylie and Vant.
• 31:51
  You know what they could do for military purposes? If they want to create a
• 31:55
  super soldier now, they can just put someone in a tube, lock them in there and
• 32:00
  make them watch Street Fighter over and over again.
• 32:03
  Those images would turn anyone violent. Yeah there you go So if you guys want
• 32:07
  a super soldier idea Make a must this shit Alright guys we're out of here Take
• 32:12
  care of yourselves and we'll talk soon.
