While news of Street Fighter 6\u2019s success and the ongoing work on Capcom\u2019s new REX engine is good to hear, the most interesting takeaway has to do with the 1994 <strong>Street Fighter movie<\/strong> starring Jean-Claude Van Damme, Raul Julia, and Kylie Minogue. According to the shareholder\u2019s meeting, the film continues to make tens of millions of yen each year to this day.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A rough adaptation of the events of Street Fighter 2, Street Fighter the movie follows a team of the world\u2019s strongest fighters as they attempt to defeat the villainous M. Bison. Though the movie wasn\u2019t well-received by critics, it was commercially successful and eventually became a cult classic amongst die-hard fans. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"ja\" dir=\"ltr\">\u30ad\u30e3\u30b9\u30c8\u306e\u307f\u306a\u3055\u307e\ud83d\udcaf <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/uFmr40lCHv\">https:\/\/t.co\/uFmr40lCHv<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/4gMoYwGivH\">pic.twitter.com\/4gMoYwGivH<\/a><\/p>&mdash; \u30b9\u30c8\u30ea\u30fc\u30c8\u30d5\u30a1\u30a4\u30bf\u30fc \/ STREET FIGHTER (@StreetFighterJA) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/StreetFighterJA\/status\/1804140207933132955?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">June 21, 2024<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em>Behind the scenes photos of the Street Fighter movie cast including a picture of Jean-Claude Van Damme (Guile) with Capcom CEO Kenzo Tsujimoto. <\/em>&nbsp;<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The number of Street Fighter movie viewers could potentially rise due to Street Fighter 6\u2019s success and <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/StreetFighterJA\/status\/1804133823518843136\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Capcom\u2019s recent promotions<\/a> for the film on social media, which advertise its availability on streaming platforms.
