Though it offers mild entertainment through campy one-liners and the overacting of the late Raul Julia, Street Fighter's nonstop action sequences are not enough to make up for a predictable, uneven storyline.

Far less captivating than the videogame that inspired it.
A dreary, overstuffed hodgepodge of poorly edited martial arts sequences and often unintelligible dialogue.
