The movie altered the plot of the original game and motives of the Street Fighter characters, including several comical interludes into the mix (for instance one fight-scene plays homage to the old Godzilla movies). When released, the movie was panned by critics, fans of the series, and moviegoers alike. It is regularly listed on the IMDB's bottom 100. Even though the movie was a flop, it has gained a substantial cult following by those who enjoy the cheesy dialogue, hammy acting and general B-grade feel of the movie.
